I am safe, but I have lost a friend.

My friend and colleague, Steven Farley, was killed in a bombing on June 24th. Steve and I met in training to come to Baghdad, and from the start he was one of those people in class who everyone turned to as a reasoned, talented leader. Throughout all of the time in training and the breakfast we had together just a day before he was killed, he was always enthusiastic about the future of Iraq and the progress that is being made by the leaders of Iraq with support from US team on the ground.

The washington post did a good article about him...a hero who will be missed by many.
