be called back to Active Duty for the Global War on Terrorism. I deployed to Afghanistan and spent 12 months there in the town of Herat and then in bagram Airbase running Civil Affairs projects.

After spending more than 18 months in Afghanistan, I was assigned to run education centers in Hanau, Germany. I spent three years there and now do the same thing in the Netherlands. I am patiently awaiting for my youngest son to graduate from High School so I can do more traveling with my wife and finishing see all those sites in Europe that I haven't been to yet.
