Eddie The Mechanic

Here Today Gone Tomorrow Picture taken March 23rd 2005

This is Eddie on the plane with me when we left for break. He and I left Baghdad at the same time and had the same flights. I was more at ease with someone I knew on the plane with me all the way back to the States. I will admit after being in Iraq you get a sense of unease everywhere you go at least until you have gotten use to NOT being the target of insurgent aggression. He was only with us for about 3 months, but has been in Iraq for 16 months all together. He left some where around the first of June this year and was the third mechanic to leave in 3 months time.

There is something about that number three I tell ya....
