Longview Investigator Back From Iraq

KLTV 7 Tyler-Longview-Jacksonville, TX: Longview Investigator Back From Iraq: "An East Texas man is back home in Longview after leaving his family and a good job behind, to serve in Iraq. He was in the Air Force right out of high school, 12 years as a Longview police officer, then a special investigator with the Gregg county district attorneys office. But at forty four Mike Augustine saw what was going on in Iraq and made a life decision.

'Right after 9-11 there was a big feeling of patriotism and rightfully so, I'm still able bodied, I've got law enforcement and military experience maybe I can do my part' Augustine says.

Joining the naval reserves, mike was sent to Iraq for a year to teach security techniques to Iraqi regulars, leaving behind his job and his family."
