My soldier cousin got a pic with Al Franken in Baghdad

[Wetzelbill]

he was pretty excited about it. He didn't have time to send it, but when he does I'll be sure to post it.

Al is a helluva guy doing those USO tours. He brightens a lot of soldier's days that is for sure. :) Just ask my cousin. :)

1. Did he get one of Al's trading coins?

Seems everybody trades "coins" over there, and Al had some made that show him in front of a flag, and the inscription reads, "Proudly serving my country ten days a year!".

2. the coins are a unit tradition

And Al, well if he was allowed, that is a hell of an honor to have his own coin

3. I'll ask, that would be cool for sure
