An article calling me a Super Dad got picked up by 28th Division and posted on Facebook. It was a good article. It was fun to talk to the reporter. We started talking about kids and sports.
Here is the link.

More on Lt. Col. Joel Allamdinger
Yesterday I wanted to get the post about Lt. Col. Joel Allmandinger posted quickly. After I posted it I realized I forgot two links: one about racing in Iraq and one about his career.
As I mentioned in the last post, Allmandinger won the Thanksgiving Day race on Camp Adder, Iraq. The story is here on the New York Times "At War" blog.
The other story is about how Allmandinger left Army active duty after eight years of service in August of 2001, then re-enlisted after 9-11. His story was in the New York Times on the 10th Anniversary of 9-11. Here is the link.
