I am adding him to my list as well, Betty.

Prayers coming your way! Or should I say his? Oh well, God'll know.

Delia, yes god will know. Also I want to include a Great-nephew who has been in Afghanistan for almost a year now. He is in the Army in Special Forces Search and Rescue! He has a very dangerous job for sure. His name is Klay!

My half-brother Brad has been to the "sandbox" twice. He still has buddies over there. He's a marine. I'm not sure if he has to go back or not. He's been out with an injury.

I'm not a big fan of myspace but I will say it is a wonderful tool for those deployed and those back home. Especially when they may not have all the time in the world to write a bunch of emails. Always remember too as hard as it is No news is good news as well. DH had many missions he couldn't tell us about (and it sucks not knowing!! but it really is for their safety and in ways for yours.) and many times he couldn't call or get online. So keep reminding yourself no news is good news. It saved me many nights. Also if he hasn't done it, you can ask him to add your email to his FRG's email list and they'll keep you updated as much as they can.
