My brother, Kevin, is serving in Kuwait. I get emails from him every now and then. They always say they’re screened and unclassified. For those who are unaware, we were raised in rural Wisconsin and grew up on a farm. We had animals on the farm and learned to hunt (I know, how barbaric). When he’s not serving in the Middle East, my brother lives in the wilds of Virginia. Apparently, these skills are also helpful in Kuwait. Today, he wrote about an interesting capture he made …

“This bird of prey was trained to hunt animals out in the desert. It was lost by its owner while hunting the day before. I took a piece of meat on a long string and spun it in a circle over my head. I was able to catch it. The owner had put his phone number on the bird’s leg since it was worth about 10,000 KD ($35,000). None of my buddies thought I would catch it but I proved them wrong.”
