Very proud of those boys. Sam also stays in contact with me regarding the boys and we are very proud of them for sure! I cannot imagine the strain that Sam and Vera are under with their boys being over there at the same time. Sam, once again please pass on our sincere wishes and safe keepings to the boys.
With Sam's blessing I would ask everyone to do the boys a favor. Last year we sent care packages to Pat while in Iraq and it would be great if everyone here could keep in touch with both boys with not only letters but also some "goodies". I am amazed what little it takes to makes these guys days over there. Anything they get from stateside is a treat. Hopefully you don't mind me asking everyone Sam. If interested, give us a mailing address again.

Too true! When I was active for desert storm, there was nothing like letters and cookies from home. Often, we would "share" mail with the fellas we were closest with.
Even a letter from a stranger was Ok, nothing worse than mail call and nothing for you.............
Thanks for the service boys!
