worship services, and sometimes just a smile of encouragement during hard times away from home.</B></div> <div> <B>It is always hard time being away from home and our loved ones, but we have good men

<bR> <div> <B>Welcome to the Life and Times of a Chaplain Assistant:  David Thomas web site.</B></div> <bR> <div> I've been fortunate enough to travel all over the world.  Most of this was done before I joined the Army in 1987, but I have travelled quite a bit since joining as well.  I have also lived in several different countries prior to joining the service which has made me feel more like a citizen of the world than of any one nation, even the one I serve in uniform.</div> <bR> <div> Though I am in the service of the United States Army, I am also what is known as a Global Nomad, a term for people who have lived a majority of their lives outside the country of their nationality.  This term applies to many families that are in the military, foriegn service, and who work for International corporations,</div> <bR> <div> I hope you'll find this site interesting, and feel free to send me any comments you have about it.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top"
