Letter from Iraq

My name is Mike Dooley, and I am currently serving with the Military Police in Baghdad, Iraq. My wife is Kari Dooley who some of you may know from the Lake View Care Center. I'm writing this to say Happy Holidays and to say that I am very proud to be a part of your community. I grew up in Montana, but have traveled all over the world in the service of our country. I have never found a place that I love as much as the Flathead Valley and the Bigfork community. You should all be proud of where you live, and happy that you have such caring friends as the people in this community. I will not be with you on this holiday, but thinking about Bigfork all dressed up for Christmas makes me feel a little closer to home. To my wife and children, I love and miss you all very much! To the people of Bigfork, please take the time to be nice to one another! I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!SSG Michael B. Dooley, Jr.Live from Iraq
