When it looked as if KU was not going to win the game, I asked our Camp Commander if I could fly the KU flag over the Camp if they won. He said it was not likely for them to win, however if they did I could fly for the day. This is a few minutes after they won. The flag is flying over Camp Cropper in Baghdad Iraq, with baby Jay here.

I currently am from Lawrence being raised in Tonganoxie and Bonner Springs, deployed with the 1-161FA, a Kansas National Guard unit. I attended KU 2002-04 before being deployed to Iraq for the first time with the Kansas National Guard. I was released from that deployment in 2006 and went back to KU for a while until life happened and needed to get a job for a while. I was employed by MV Transportation for KU on Wheels just prior to being sent to Iraq again. I hope to be back in Lawrence before the end of the year, however, you never know.
