He was smiling....that was good. Their tents were all set up there and they were seeming to be in good spirits. He said the plane ride was long. They're almost in Afghanistan. He sent me a text saying, he was finally at war. I guess that is the feeling among his platoon. They've been preparing for over 8 months in Germany for this tour of duty. I guess being out there in the field actually going into the front lines is a change of pace and a time to reflect on their fellow soldiers. It's all about team.....taking care of the other guy while he takes care of you. Watching each other's backs.
I have to go now and get packed for Tokyo. I will keep everyone informed as I hear from Caleb.
