Hello everyone, just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a good week.  I seen posts about not able to do "too much". Let me tell ya ladies and gentlemen...ANYTHING you do, whether its a postcard, letter, hot chocolate or a huge box full of goodies, it goes far beyond words of thanks for the soldiers and their families. I remember ...

Hello all, Michael said FLEECE blankets work best for size and weight and the possibilty of getting wet. Also...HAND WARMERS and NEOPRENE BLACK GLOVES, the gloves of course can't be too bulky as they need their trigger finger to still be able to move.  I know we got some for him from Walmart I believe for a little over $10 but that was ...

As an Army spouse for the past 11 1/2 years and through two deployments. I must say, stay strong. You have two options. STay strong so your soldier is strong physically, emotionally, and mentally...OR be weak and allow that weakness to be heard, felt, or sensed through to your soldier.  Believe me, I know all the weak moments, front and back, ...

Hello everyone, thought I'd let you all know the girls and I went and welcomed in more soldiers today. Its great seeing them all coming home and giving out free hugs! haha  Almost done and they'll all be back here.  Can't wait for two reasons, one because this has been a long 15months for all of them, 2nd.

Hello everyone, We are never notified of the injured.  Its something that we learn from either our husbands, friends, or just people talking.  I have not heard of any names at this time but then again, it hasn't really been talked about much.  Today was the memorial service for the 9 fallen.  It took place inside the ...

Hello Everyone! I hope this all finds you doing well.  I wanted to first off say THANK YOU to all of you who have sent me items for the homecoming.  It seems like they will be getting a much deserved warm and inviting homecoming and room to sleep in.  I wish I knew more of what the other companies out at the KOP are getting but I ...

Hello everyone how are all of you? All is well here.  I wanted to first let you all know that July 15 is the last day to receive mail for the soldiers. There for since it takes roughly 30 days more or less to get to Astan, rear d has said to send no packages after June 15th to be safe and to save yourself money. Good news for those of ...

Hello everyone, just wanted to say hello to you all and a Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the moms.  I hope that this finds that everyone is doing well.  Counting down now huh?
