a fitting end: meet the president

today was my last day of making up drills after coming off orders for the deployment to balad, and i got to meet, and shake hands with, president bush.  i thought this was a fitting conclusion to to my second deployment to iraq.  now it’s time to play civilian lawyer again.

here’s my right shoulder on the far left side of the picture.  i thought getting close to the airman with a baby would help me get in a picture.  i was only half right.
