Easter at ISAF

This past Sunday was Easter here at ISAF. Sorry, no Easter Egg hunt in the garden for the troops. However, there was a sunrise service which allowed me to celebrate the holiest day of the year while offering me a small piece of home. The base also cooked a nice lunch for us.

Normally, Easter Sunday would have me fawning over my beautiful wife, putting on my dress blues for church and taking the kids to an Easter egg hunt. That just wasn't in the card for us this year. "Duty calls" is the theme for 2009 and so here I am in Afghanistan. But Mrs. Blank did a great job keeping everyone's spirits high.

Below are some pictures from this Sunday's service.
