Go Army.Com

Today we had had the Army Recruiters! They are such great speakers. Returning
this year is Sgt. De Jesus. She really works well with our kids. I had a long talk
with her about her experiences in Iraq and mine in Jordan. We both think that the image of the Middle East, as portrayed by the media, is so off base. Her conculusion:
"these people(Iraqis) just want to raise their families in peace". Amen to that! I have great respect for our soldiers. It is their Commander-in -Chief that I have a problem with!
It seemed to me that our students were really interested and engaged. Even
if they don't want to join the army they are thinking about their lives and goals
after RHS. That is a good thing.
