I am embarrassed...I just worked out your yellow ribbon avatar. I've been seeing it all day long as a piece of farfalle! Has he left? Have you heard from him yet? |

Hi, Deb, He shipped out a couple of weeks ago at the end of November. See this thread I miss him. Thanks for asking and thinking of us. (I'll guess I'll have to re-think the yellow ribbon avatar ) |

I love you, Peggy. When you get a chance, let him know how much he's appreciated, and how much we're thinking of him. Let his wife know as well, how much her sacrifice is appeciated. If he likes coffee, send me his APO and I'll have a care package of the really good stuff sent (not me personally...I have a friend in the really great coffee business who is a coffee angel to the troops...he loves sending them goodies). If he mentions other things that he or his men have a hankering for and are having a hard time getting, let me know that as well, I might find someone on the lists who's already doing that particular thing and would enjoy the opportunity of including them. We got phone calls on Thanksgiving and Christmas, would be happy to send the best phone card for his situation as well, just say the word. One of ours is expected back in Feb, will have about 9 months of intensive training and return in early Dec 2008 for 15 months. THat will make 3 straight Christmases away. His girls are 11, 9, and 4. So...it's possible that the next Christmas he spends with them, they'll be 14, 12, and 7....that's rough. Great photos. Thanks for sharing him with us. |

God bless them! I'll PM you his address tomorrow. Thank you In that thread I posted an excerpt of a list of things needed. It's towards the bottom. It's his personal list but I imagine most of them need a lot of the same things. Again, thank you, so much. It means so much, just to be able to talk about it.

It's always at the forefront of my mind. Amy went for her Army eye exam yesterday and her physical today. She'll be doing officer training in military intel at KU while playing basketball for MNU. She is their no 1 recruiting priority for 2008, and we love the situation, she'd be close for 4 more years, we would see her games, she'd see her sister's ballets, it just sounds perfect. She's still considering the West Point prep academy pending congressional appointment because the USMA basketball coach is very interested in her, but she's really crazy about the KU officers...nearly jumped up and down when they told her she could train for airborn as part of her intel emphasis, and loves the ball situation all over the place. She's going to work out with the MNU girls next week...I expect her mind may be made up after that. I wish she was still 3 and was always going to be 3...but she's nearly grown and she's going to be one heck of a woman. My job will be to buck up and deal with it. |

You must be so proud of her, Deb! I remember when Nathan got his congressional nomination to the Naval Academy. We really do have special kids and we are blessed. A mom's job is never easy. Aside to Ax: Thanks

Wow, Deb, keep us informed as to what your daughter decides. You must be proud. --edit-- to what address would one send care packages, Justme? |
