Via facebook, this recent photo of my awesome friend Lauren, doing something that probably couldn’t be done via iPad or Kindle! She’s reading My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler, at a dig site near Phonsavanh in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. Lauren- I’m pretty sure that this title is not featured on any of the deployment reading lists that I’ve written about in the past.
Lauren is a 92-M Mortuary Affairs Specialist in the US Army, currently serving at the Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii and recently returned from an expedition to locate remains of Vietnam-war era MIA personnel and to return them with all due honor to the families of the fallen.
