Three's company


I would like to salute my husband John Boudreaux who is a C130 engine mechanic serving in Iraq. This picture is of John with our babies, Prissy (poodle) and Yoda (cat), taken the day he left for Iraq. He is so missed by us all and we are very anxious for him to be safely home again. Thanks Robin & Co. for your support to our troops.

-- Darlene Boudreaux of Elmendorf AFB, Alaska
I would like to express my deepest sentiments to my long lost best friend JOhn Boudreaux, who is proudly serving our Country over in Iraq. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication not only in your tremulous endeavor overseas, but in all facets of life. May God continue to bless you and your family always. I love you and take care!!! Come home safe!!
