Pfc. Adam Lafferty

Some of you may recall a feature piece we published a few weeks back on
Pfc. Adam Lafferty
of Marshall, son of Tracy Reuss and Lemo Lafferty.
He is now one of the many, new boots on the ground as part of George W. Bush's troop
surge, announced in his Jan. 10 State of the Union address.
Adam is a member of the Army's 1-4 Cavalary Scouts and in a phone
call to the Chronicle from Baghdad Monday, March 5, announced he is on the move
for the second time since deployment Feb. 6.
Below is a message from his mom:

Here is Adam's new address.....his 3rd so far:

PFC Adam R. Lafferty
1-4 Cavs Raiders B-Troop
Unit #42535
APO AE 09361

"He called us yesterday morning (5:30 a.m.) 1:30 pm his time.  All is well.  They are
keeping very busy. They will be moving to their unknown address the end of this week.
From what he could tell me, will be in S.E. Baghdad setting up new FOB
(forward operating base.) Apparently
not the best part of Baghdad, but he seems to think it will be okay. They have
checked out all their equipment and all is brand new and state of the art.....he
was very impressed as he thought they would be using all old equipment.  You know
guys and their toys.....ha ha.
"Anything that has been sent to him at the old addresses will still get to him!
Thank you all, and will keep you updated as I know."

Adam said yesterday he can also receive email to lafferty_recon1@yahoo.com.
Watch next week's Chronicle for more on what Adam had to say about his military
mission in Baghdad.
