Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Matthew Struck, Amy Smith and Darren Drake!!
I want to thank all the sailors, marines, soldiers, airmen, reserve and guard who attended the two shows yesterday at the MWR 11th Degree theater. Hearing your laughter and feeling your grace as I shared my life’s journey was a once in a lifetime experience . Camp Lemonnier gave me a smidgen of the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make for our country, as well as the civilians and contractors working on location. This camp is close in proximity to many dangerous regions, and being with our troops who brave these areas gave me great inspiration and insight into what truly is taking place in this world. They live with only bare necessities, complain little, and show up every day to make a difference. To all of my family and friends back home in the United States, we should be ever so grateful for the lives we live on a daily basis. The streets of Djibouti are adorned with strife and poverty. It seemed surreal. May we all count our blessings and look forward to the day our men and women return home. Thank you Naval Fleet Forces for making this tour possible.
Above: a couple internet pics of Camp Lemonnier , pictures I took while exploring the base, the JIB airport and some pictures from time spent walking around Djibouti on Monday. Pictures from Tuesdays trainings (me and the sailors before during and after each training). Me and Chaplain Richard Ryan from Norfolk departing Djibouti.

Thanks for the visit today. Your story was very touching and inspirational. We all have our demons, yet we can only conquer them once we accept they exist.
Thank you for sharing your story. Your message was powerful, and you shared it in a manner that was entertaining and engaging. You got a room full of people to pay attention to critically important topics they may have grown tired of discussing (or simply be embarrassed to confront). Great job.
