I SALUTE YOU SAILOR!

Home is the sailor, home from the sea:
Her far-borne canvas furled
The ship pours shining on the day
The plunder of the world.......

'Tis evening on the moorland free,
The starlit wave is still:
Home is the sailor from the sea...

A.E. Housman



WELCOME HOME!!!
GOD BLESS YOU,
MOJO
AND YOUR FAMILY!


GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Just got a call from my soldier boy.:)

He's doing great, sounds very alert and focused.

He's been doing lots of "medic-ing"; lots of heat exhaustion, one case of heat stroke, various & sundry other ailments. He's responsible for 3rd platoon of Charlie Company. OH-best part of all-I now have his address!!!:) :) :)

He says it is very hot & sticky in MS, and it doesn't help that they have to do PT in full BDU's, even if it's at 5:00....it's already hot.

He said they are training the guys hard and it is not easy but he's holding his own and doing just fine.

[Soaring Feather]

Wonderful news Mozart!! Relieves your mind and soul.
