Hey, Vince--these guys really appreciated your visit last year!

Scroll down to the 4th of July entry to read another note from an Officer who met Vince last year in Afghanistan.

Which also reminds me that I received an email from the guy in the Earmuffs picture. I hope he doesn't mind that I share this with you all. I won't divulge his email address or anything. We exchanged a couple of emails about the photo and he had this to say about Vince:

...It was super funny...Vince and I spoke to each other for about 2 hours and he was very polite and funny...I immediately began joking with him as well.

I have lots of similar pictures of he and other people out there, but I ended up getting the pictures of myself with him because sometimes people say we look alike.

I spent time in Iraq, but that picture was taken in a country named Qatar. I was in the USAF. I spoke to him and asked for a picture because sometimes girls say I look like him. He said, "Don't sell yourself short...you are much better looking than I am." Of course he was going to be modest...so I said, "yeah...I tell them that they must mean a young Vince Vaughn." he did not laugh...but after a few we ended up kickin it and laughing and hanging out for the rest of the
evening...the next day we did pictures at my work center. He was there to promote Dodgeball even though it was free to us. Kinda like Bob Hope I guess.

I stumbled on the picture because a friend sent me a link after recognizing it. It was funny when I asked him to take the picture like that...I did not explain that I was doing the ear muff thing and I am not sure he caught on right away...

Thanks, Josh for sharing that!
