I received an email this evening with the following message from Lt. Yaw:
All,
After President Bush’s speech on Iraq last week, you may have heard rumors circulating about our brigade’s combat tour being extended. I want you to know that there is no truth to these rumors. I’m not promising that in the future our unit will not get extended. After spending more than 15 years in the Army, and being in countless rapid deployment units, I can tell you that any unit is susceptible to an extension. However, our brigade has not received any notice to date that our deployment will be affected by President Bush’s planned troop increases.
There is a website that you can access to check on the extensions that are taking place in the Army. The website is as follows:

Updated 18-Sep: Welcome to the Schriefer Blog, my name is Tavis Schriefer. Recently, my wife Jill and I raised money to supply driFIRE shirts to every soldier in Apache Company of the 1-501st Parachute Infantry Regiment. We were successful in raising over $6500 and we would like to thank everyone for all their support to make this happen.
