Thursday, August 12, 2004

Members of the Crow Tribe of Montana welcomed Army Sgt. 1st Class Mitchelene Big Man back from her tour in Iraq.

Big Man will only be home for a month. She will return to Germany and expects to be sent back to Iraq.

If I was in a platoon and new there were Crow in my unit, I'd feel extra lucky. They're the best!
