Serena and Dad
![]() My husband Sgt. Steve Lischalk is currently serving at Camp Anaconda, Iraq with the 146 Multi-Medical Battalion as the Supply Sergeant/Armor. On June 28, 2006 -- one week before he left -- our daughter, Serena, turned one year old. He was recently home for a visit and now Serena can talk/walk and a lot of other things. It's very sad that he missed such a special time with his daughter, but he truly believes in what he is doing and we are very proud of him. Like I said Steve was recently home for a visit and the two of them had a wonderful time, of course it wasn't so fun when he had to leave again. I wanted to submit this picture -- because it shows how much we sacrifice as a family. We are looking forward to the 146MMB returning home after a 16 month tour. -- Victoria Lischalk of Lansing, Michigan
Just wanted to say God Bless our troops and my uncle Steve...He is greatly missed and seeing the picture of him with Serena is just a reminder like Vicky said of the sacrafices the troops make as well as their families..God Bless and we all miss ya Steve :)
