As many know, Governor Ritter visited Iraq December 12th. While there, he had a chance to meet with
State Representative Joe Rice (D-Littleton).
A photo from their visit is included here.

Bill Ritter; and state Rep.
Joe Rice, a Littleton Democrat who is a lieutenant colonel in the Army.
In a phone call, Rep. Rice said,
"Governor Ritter's visit to
Iraq provided him with an invaluable chance to see what Colorado's soldiers are facing on the ground. Being so far away from home during the holidays, it was good to see a familiar face. I know his visit was a boost for the moral of
Colorado troops, myself included."
