4th of July


It is the 4th of July the day that we celebrate our freedom. I had a few people ask me if we did anything special since we are fighting for freedom and such. And the answer is not really. The only thing that was difference about it was the food at the chow hall was slightly more edible then normal. And they gave us more neer beer and we got sparkling grape juice. So we decided we should go lounge in our iraqi hot tub while we drank our piss warm neer beer and sparkling grape juice. Marines kept walking by and seeing us enjoying ourselfs and thought it was a good idea since it was 120 something out and decided they should join us. I think we ended up with 8 guys in there at a time. So all in all it wasn't that bad of a fourth even though we didn't get any fireworks. Nothing else really going on to write about.
