Firefighter Nick Palmer is with the Army Reserves and has been deployed to Iraq. This is Nick’s second tour so he has a good idea about what to expect. Nick’s email is as follows and is written to his Lieutenant Jeremy Van beusekom: “Jeremy, I am just saying hi from the birthplace of civilization. We are all doing well here. Psychological Operations is winning hearts and minds. I also can’t say thanks enough for the send off and for how great everyone has been to Jeannie and the kids. This is a picture of the station at Tallil. I will try to get shirts from the guys in Baghdad. Take Care, Nick.”
It is always good to hear from Nick, to know that he is safe and so are the troops under his watch. I know Nick is in the thoughts of all firefighters in Eden Prairie and we are all anxious for his safe return in 2009.
