Well Done, M.!

I got my copy of the monthly newsletter from M.'s unit yesterday...fresh off the printing press and straight into my inbox! There were the usual things...promotion notices, birthday reminders, dates for the next bake sale. I also perused the updates for each squad...and lo and behold, M. got a lil' shout out from LTC K. for his work helping their squad. Talk about becoming a boldface name: it was just like reading Page Six! (Ahem, except maybe a little more professional!) Anyway, it went a little something like this: "Greetings from Camp X., Iraq! The deployment has been moving forward smoothly for 1st squad. The squad has worked hard to provide an outstanding facility to our four footed clients. Through 1LT M.'s hard work and KBR’s outstanding workmanship, we now have [a whole bunch of awesome supplies!] that any of the [facilities] back home in Germany would be proud to have." I know that M. has received lots of compliments on his hard work, especially with the unit's recent move to their new location. But it's not every day that a compliment comes from LTC K., and it's definitely not every day that I get to hear them back here at home, and it made my day. Well done, M.: I'm proud of ya!
