Hello and what the hell is a "hero" these days?

hi to all. I want to say I am very sorry to have heard about Tim. I do not know if I met him but if he was a friend of Sebastian's and did the same work and good work at that then he was a friend of mine as well. War is special affair and very few people understand it and unless you were not there it is impossible to explain to you. It is like Siddhartha explain to the Buddha that everything he told him sounded good but until he had experienced what the Buddha was saying it meant nothing to…See More

Oscar Nomination for Restrepo and other things

Hello to all again,It has been several months since I have been here. So let me catch up with everyone now. A couple of months back I went to the book signing in Silver Springs and spoke to Sebastian for a few minutes. Then a bit later I went to the first screening of his movie there as well. (I think that is the town. It is on the edge of DC in any case. I am not from this area so I can mistake my towns at times. If this was going on in Florida anywhere I would not be lost). I remember after…See More

"Hi Carlos, Please let me make an observation about the Valley and why we should stay there until it is time to go. You stated: "is this war worthy considereing as I understand the only reason we are in Afganistan is to stop Alqueida to have…"

Sebastians Books Signing in DC today May 19, 2010

Well Sebastian, I finally caught up with you. It has been 4 years since we last met and had dinner at your restaurant. We did not have dinner this time so I owe you one next time I see you. I enjoyed your talk today and there was one jerk-off that I wanted to say something to but did not. I am not the most cultured person around and when I talk I tell it like I see it. Needless to say this has cost me trouble now and then as well such as being kicked out of Malaysia in 1978 for telling an…See More

Hi Gregg,

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your letter to Sebastian about his book-signing in D.C. Thank you - which doesn't begin to cover all that you as soldiers risk - for protecting those of us here at home.

Respectfully,
Katarina
