Happy Thanksgiving, Greg

Greg is a Marine; he trained to drive amphibious vehicles. Not a lot of need for amphibious vehicles in the deserts of the Middle East, but he's there anyway, driving something. The vehicles are better on this tour; they have heat (and hopefully some strong armor)!
Greg was wounded during his first tour of duty; a buddy in the same vehicle was killed. Now he's the voice of experience, and in his emails home he sounds casual and matter-of-fact, although I expect that's mostly to keep us all from worrying.
It doesn't work. Every day I worry about Greg, whom I really don't know very well but who is family. I hope he comes home soon and safe and whole, and I took this photo so he'd know we were thinking of him on Thanksgiving.

GodSpeed to Greg and all the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let's hope they come home safe and soon.
