Jay Winger made a recent visit, by phone, with his mother, Loris Allen, several days ago. This is Jay’s second tour of Iraq and he told his mother that he could hardly believe the difference he found when he got there. He said everything was so much improved and that the food was great, which evidently pleased him very much.
