One of our soldiers in Iraq leaves an interesting comment on the web:
Here’s a picture of me celebrating Ash Wednesday shortly before going out on mission. The Catholic Priest also blessed all of our Gun Trucks. You can’t ask for much more protection than that when doing Convoy Security. Unless of course, I painted a picture of a unicorn on the side of my Gun Truck. I don’t know anyone who could hurt a unicorn. Especially one that has magic dust. Those are my favorite.
I think he’s mocking the whole business, but I note that he’s still getting the magic ashes daubed on his forehead.
Let’s hope the fairy sprinkles work.
