NS Veterans Remember

Mark Herbst
Conductor,
Harrisburg, PA

My name is Mark Herbst. I am a seargentt in the US Army Reserve currently serving at Camp Cedar, Iraq. I am a petroleum supply specialist and currently in charge of pipeline dispatching in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am also a conductor for NS in harrisburg, Pa. I am proud of what we have accomplished in a short amount of time in Iraq. I am proud to my serve to my country and I am most grateful for the support that NS has given to myself and my family. I will soon be returning to Pennsylvania, hopefully before Christmas, and looking forward to getting back to work. I want to just say thank you to NS. Throughout history people have served this great country that we all live in. Just as our fathers served in world war II and in Vietnam and Korea to preserve my freedom, I am serving in Iraq now to hopefully preserve the freedom as safety of my family and the people of the United States. Keep us in your prayers and I will see everyone in Harrisburg in a few months. Thank you.
