BLOG: From The Front Lines W/ Zinno...Final Edition!

Well everyone, my time in Baghdad has come near its end. We are re-deploying home soon and I couldn't be more excited. Our mission here is complete and we will be headed back to the Charm City very shortly. As I look back on our time here, it seems on one hand, it took forever to get here ... on the other hand, it seems to have gone by rather quickly. Either way, I am proud to be returning all of Maryland's Soldiers back home safe and in one piece. I am also proud of the work they did and how they represented not only themselves, but their unit, their state and their country! They all have plenty to be proud!!

As I pack up my things and get ready to head home, I can't forget all of you who took time out to write me, call me, Facebook me, and just stay in touch. While I rarely EVER struggle to find words, it's really hard for me to communicate what it means to me to hear from you all! It made me feel normal ... connected to the world and part of everyday life. I hope you all know the gratitude I feel for it and know that you all had an integral part in my success here!

I am equally excited for the next chapter in my life. I am excited and re-focused on my radio/tv career. Being out of it for so long, only makes me want to be back on the air even more. I am hoping some great opportunities come my way and that we can have a whole lot of fun in Baltimore on the radio!

Thank you again for everything. Thank you all for keeping up with this blog and all the well wishes. I hope to be able to shake all of your hands in person and say thank you! I will be having a little welcome home soiree in Baltimore when I get back and if you are in the area, please stop by! Stay tuned for details.

Enjoy the final video that we made! It is a highlight reel of the work we did ... plus a little surprise at the end! Enjoy!

"W" almost in hand,
Zinno
