Henry's Web Log

Last February, I sat down to dinner, started talking to the soldier next to me, and found out he was from Christiansburg, the same town as me! Population is around 11,000, so that’s no small feat! I found out that he belonged to a unit that just arrived from Virginia National Guard Military Police.
By meeting SFC Phoenix, that’s how I learned that a unit from my home state was right here in our little COB. Later, this Military Police (MP) company were the ones nice enough to share Major General Newman to promote me to Lieutenant Colonel.
I’ve seen SFC Tazwell Phoenix many more times around the base, and thought I’d give another Christiansburg resident here in Basra the chance to say hello!
He says hi to his family, his two sons (Kyle & Cameron), and a huge hello to his girlfriend Amy Fleet who works at the VT College of Science.
Way to go SFC Phoenix, and all the rest of the 266th MP Company!
