Hello!
Posted by Erik Rupard on November 15th, 2008
You have reached the preserved-in-amber version of a blog I kept while serving as a military doctor in Iraq between March and September of 2008. If you are new to my site, the best place to start is on page one (the bold blue appearance of this sentence is a clue that you are supposed to click on it), and then just use the arrows in the upper right corner (or the calendar at lower left) to work your way chronologically through the blog entries.
For those who are interested, I am now back in Georgia, working at Eisenhower Army Medical Center on Fort Gordon, GA, and life is very very good. Thanks to all who read, wrote, or contributed in any way to this web site, and especially to those who supported me with prayers, packages, and letters.

It is now the Christmas season. The most wonderful thing to happen to our family and extended family this year was the phone call letting us know that you had arrived in the USA. We continue to thank our Father in Heaven for our many blessings, especially your safe homecoming. We love you.

Hello Rupard family! It is great to find you on the internet! We are still in El Paso, TX with 5 more years to go in the Army (to retire). Meagan is 15, Brynna is 13 and Lauren is 7. Mike was also sent to Iraq 9/07 – 3/08. It is great to see that you are back safe and sound. I hope all is well with you. Drop a line if you want to catch up.
Take care. All the best.
