'The life of any gathering'
![]() I would like to salute my fiance, SSgt Tony Player, who is on his third tour in Iraq. He is a Vehicle Operator in the United States Air Force. He unfortunately missed his daughter Ja'Mirea's 3rd birthday. She is pictured with him in this photo. This photo was taken in Killeen,TX on August 14, 2007, (which was his birthday) before his departure to Iraq. Ja'Mirea has been under the assumption that her father is in school because she doesn't understand the situation her father deals with. Tony is the life of any gathering and we all miss you sweetheart. Tony, your family is very proud of you, and we are awaiting your arrival to come home. Love, Jessica, Ja'Mirea and the entire Player family -- Jessica Jones-Player of Bossier City, Louisiana |
