Mudville Gazette

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Not everyone in the world thinks I'm a bigotted, sexist, close-minded, blood-thirsty, illiterate, white American male beloved by Hitler who didn't do very well in school and has a hard time passing a pt test. In addition to Mrs Greyhawk and my mother the following people had nice things to say about me during my visit to Baghdad, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

My heartfelt thanks to

Roger L Simon

Michael Ledeen (and K J Lopez and the whole Corner crew!)

Smash - the inspiration to all MilBloggers - who is of course kidding about hanging it up. (By the way I was awaiting transportation at the time you posted that and had plenty of time to spare.)

It's great to find myself linked and quoted by these folks, but I can honestly add that I got as much a morale boost finding a link and a quote at even the smallest blogs out there. It mattered to me and you have my thanks. I'll do everything in my power to track you down, link you, and hammer your servers as best I can. (Or you can save me a bit of effort and send an email.)

The blogosphere is many things, including an ongoing conversation. At its best an exchange of information among folks who seek knowledge, truth, enlightenment, a broadening horizon, insight into other opinions or a view beyond the immediate world of their daily routine. I'm glad to be a part of that. All those who left comments or emailed encouragement are appreciated more than you imagine.

The key word to me in the above is "ongoing". The past is just foundation for the future, the best is yet to come, yadda yadda yadda insert additional cliches here. There are many enemies in the ongoing war on terror, and I'll get around to "targeting" them all eventually. Hope you're along for the ride.
