You do the greatest posts that I've seen. These pictures swell my heart with pride. Is there a web site to print some of your pictures? They are awsome! God bless you for the work you do. God bless our men and women for the work they do.

I know you must be a busy person, but if you could take some time and explain to me, and perhaps others, how those planes fly off that carrier, I don't see any runways?
Thanks for keeping us updated on our children over there,there is a special place in Heaven for you, I am sure.How young they all seem, May God Bless them all and bring them back home safely to us.

In a war with WMD it seems pretty stupid to bunch up like this picture indicates. I would hope for a bit more sense from the leaders...
