Shawn and the General

Dear Friends and Family,
General Petraeus came to our headquarters a couple of days ago. He received a briefing from the command, and then at the conclusion of thebriefing he asked for a show of hands for two time deployers. Those of us who had been in Iraq or Afghanistan twice got a coin, and a picturewith the general. It was a nice gesture. He also gave a second coin to those with three deployments, because he said the spouses deserve one also.
