1st LT John Pitts of Alpha Troop, Platoon 3

Every once in a while, we like to step back from our work and take a hard look at the realities of the world around us. The war in Iraq has touched us all. Some in more ways then other and we at Cutcaster are getting our first real taste of a friend, who is being deployed. I'm sending along good vibes, white light and karma to a great guy John Pitts, who is heading off to Baghdad as a part of the "surge." John will lead his platoon of 40 men throughout the deployment and the length is said to be 1 year. His mission is confidential.

You're in my prayers, buddy and can't wait to have a beer when you get back.
