I thought we should move Kevin out of Emergency Requests, and over here to "Who are the contacts?"

Unless, of course, he has another fire - we'll cross our fingers that doesn't happen!!!

I'll link the old thread to this one...

Hi Jenifer!

Thanks for doing that, it was a good idea and makes sense.

Happy Holidays,

Julie

Hey Everyone!

Thanks so much for all your kinds words after my re-enlistment!  You guys are awesome!

The weather is turning colder (some folks are actually wearing their coats and polypro undies!), and we finally started getting some rain.  It rained so hard a few nights ago that we thought we were under attack!  It's only a matter of time before the mud comes back...

Is everyone ready for the holidays?  For us, the best part is, by the time the holidays are over, we'll be packed and ready to come home!   Woo-hoo!!

Take care and Merry Christmas!

Kevin

One more thing... Thank you so much for setting up this little thread!  It's really neat for me to be able to talk to you guys!

:)

It's WAY neater for us to be able to hear from you! 

Hi Kevin,

Glad to hear you're getting shorter; let the countdown begin.

Many thanks to you and your crew for all that you're doing. Y'all keep up the keep good work and stay safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Godspeed!

Kevin,

Any news on the post card count??? You appear to be the no1 in MOST REQUESTED!!!! What a great idea and I hope that it continues for your unit.

cheers

WOO-HOO!  We're number 1!! 

I promise I'll count the postcards this week!  You should see an update on the blog by Sunday. 

Thanks to everyone for making this deployment actually fun!  I know you probably don't hear that very often, but it really has been fun talking with everyone and making such awesome friends all over the world. 

God Bless! 

Merry Christmas!

Kevin,

Just like we'll never really know what it means to you, you'll never know what it means to us to be able to communicate with you. It's nothing short of amazing that you find the time to keep in touch like this!!! We KNOW you're busy!!

As an Army mom myself, these communications are one of the things that are helping me through this time. It's been so important for me to communicate with and read about other men and women who are serving side by side with my two sons. It is so comforting to know the quality of people who "have their backs"!!!

Thank you so much for all your doing to protect our country and our freedoms. Thank you for your continuing commitment. You make us proud each day!!!

Now, hugs from an Army mom!!! Stay safe and God bless!!

Kevin,

Here's the BIG question -- do you take the post cards home or leave therm for the "next guy"?  Are they up on all your walls?  And, if so, could we have a picture?  (If you already did that, forgive me, but I missed it.)

Pan

Kevin,

Thank you for your service. 

I'm DEFINITELY taking them home with me!  I've told everyone back home how awesome you guys are, and they're all waiting to see the collection!

Don't worry, though, I'm going to take some pictures first!

We've still got about 60 days, so there's still time to mail some in!

Hey

I sent you an email

Lisa

Hi Kevin,

I was just reading your new post and I think the numbers got messed up on your count.  In November you had 61 cards from California and now you only have 5.  Is someone swiping your postcards and taking your glory? 

Congratulations on your re-enlistment.  Six years?  How long have you served already?
