Thank you so much for the ping, Ohio. Sure wish you had issued a tissue alert.....*sniff*
Gucho, thank you as well. I saw my name as I read through the thread and went ALLLLL the way back to last Friday and saw your ping to me. I am so sorry I missed it. When I get to my pings on Saturday, many are buried. I do not usually see my pings from Friday afternoon until late Saturday morning.
And why not tell our folks back home about the good we've done, how when they see Americans, the kids come at a run."
One of our wounded heroes went into great detail last night telling stories about this. He said the adults would run and hide, but the children ran, cheering, straight to our troops. He said the kids are great.
Thanks for relaying that nice story. :-)
