Lt. Col. Tate with Col. Ali

Here are three recent pictures of Lt. Col. Tate from our department serving in Iraq. She had pictures taken with the media celebrities Geraldo Rivera (Fox) and Dan Rather (CBS). The third photo, she and an Iraqi Air Force Col. Ali,her counterpart. He gave our colonel a rappa (head dress) as a gift.

The colonel's sister sent her a keyboard. She plays for Sunday morning service. With no days off, long hours, and mortars falling like raindrops, church worship has been specially soothing and strengthening for the colonel.
