So what did you do Saturday Night ? I know what one of OUR Trading Soldiers that we helped support in our "Holiday Cigars for Our Troops" was doing -- he was part of the Operation that helped get Sadaam Hussein out of his "Presidential Hole in the Ground" !!!

To ALL of You who participated and Supported this Trading Drive in Support of Our Nation's Warriors - please be advised that our own:

1st Lieutenant Donald Erickson - Red Platoon - Ironhorse Company -4th Infantry Div - ( Don is a recent West Point Graduate - His Wife - also a West Point Grad is also currently stationed with an MP Unit in Iraq !!)

1st LT Erickson was there with his Unit when the Butcher of Baghdad was found hiding in his hole.

I have just received a pix of 1st LT Erickson in his IFV - smoking one of our Trading Cigars outside the compound in Iraq. I am looking for a way of publishing this on the Picture Post as soon as my Official Web Photo Expert returns from her cross country skiing later today....

You were told that if you participate in this trade - you will get back something unique ---- but never in a million years did I think it would be this awesome !!! MEGA-HOOAH !!!!!
Hey Bro. Penguin - I bet you feel like a Million $$$ right about NOW !!!!!!!
