News Of The Military
Here is an action item for you via Blackfive It concerns Sergeant Walter Gaya injured in the line of duty
Most of the Milbloggers I read in Iraq are coming home. I am happy for them and will continue to read them. But I am looking for some new in country guys (or girls). That lead me to Firepower Forward. Alas, he is currently on relief duty in Afghanistan and not in Iraq, but its good Milblog reading.
Now, about those guys in Iraq -- any recommendations?
Finally the Section 32 hearing concerning the soldier on soldier murder in Iraq has come to pass. Results forthcoming.
The Argentina-born immigrant, who moved to the United States as a child, was injured just eight days before he was to be sworn in as a U.S. citizen in a ceremony in Iraq.Please write the Senator and Congresspersons for the state of Washington. Let's get this man what he has so richly earned!
Now, he's in a bureaucratic black hole: Federal immigration officials wouldn't renew his permanent resident card or tell him when he could reschedule the swearing-in ceremony. No one at the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office could tell him what to do next to get his citizenship papers, or even how to renew his immigration documents.
