Dear Ms. England’s class,

Here is Tidy Teddy near Mosul, Iraq with Captain Joeseph Weir.  He is in the Special Forces.  He is also  a team leader, green beret.  Joe has been in Iraq since January and will return to TN in September.  Along with his 9 soldiers, Joe helps to train Iraqi solders.  This picture was taken at Firebase Yost.  It was named after MSG Anthony R. Yost who was killed while conducting combat operations.  He was a team sergeant and died in 2006.  He left behind a family. 

Your friend,

Captain Joeseph Weir
