 Family and Friends,

 Attached is our latest company newsletter.  You will also see that SFC
 Mjoen has attached a link to a free download of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
 This is the program you need to view the newsletter.  I am also asking
 that MSG Worden or SFC Sjoblom in Brainerd attach this newsletter, and
 future newsletters, to the 194 AR Battalion Webpage.

 We are also working on an update, with pictures, that we will be sending
 to the local newspapers back home in time for Memorial Day.  So, watch for
 those articles in your hometown newspapers at the end of the month.

 Finally, we have completed a 15-minute video package called "Apaches: Our
 Journey So Far".  The video includes pictures and video clips showing our
 journey thus far starting with our annual training last August and taking
 us to the present.  You'll get to see a little of everything from training
 at Camp Ripley, the farewell ceremonies, Fort Dix, Kuwait, and Iraq.  Lots
 and lots of photos of your soldiers, the training they've been through,
 our FOB, and many of our missions and experiences "outside of the wire".
 It is in DVD format and we are mailing copies of it home to each of the
 units and FRGs.  We'll ask the units and FRGs to figure out how to
 reproduce and distribute the DVDs once they receive them.  They should be
 arriving in the mail within the next week to the units and FRG leaders.

 All of this is part of our continued effort to keep you all informed.  We
 could not do what we do without you and your support.

 God Bless,

 Paz
