Doug,

 

We really appreciate that you would think of us and support our soldiers.  You are the reason we do what we do here.

 

The first picture is one of three Saddam heads that rest near the Green Zone; sort of reminds me of …

 

OZYMANDIAS of EGYPT

I met a traveler from an antique land

Who said:—Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,

The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains: round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    Percy Bysshe SHELLEY

 

The last picture is of me in front of Saddam’s palace commemorating his Victory over America.

 

Thanks again for you time and your support.

 

Lance Headrick
