'Fourth tour in Iraq'
 My husband SSgt Rohan Auld, with the United States Air Force is serving in Iraq with the 820th Security Forces Group from Moody AFB, Valdosta, GA. This makes his fourth tour in Iraq. I would like to wish him a HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY. The 820th is expecting to return home in Nov and Rohan is expecting his first baby in Nov. Hopefully, he makes it home in time for the birth. Rohan, I am so proud of you. I love you. Nicole -- Nicole Auld of Tampa, Florida 'The greatest smile in the world'
 My sister, Staff Sergeant Corey Fink, just celebrated her 30th birthday in Iraq. She is due home in February 2008 after her 15 month long tour of duty is done. She's been in the Army for 6 years, has her MBA, and has the greatest smile in the world. She is my hero. I hope she knows that. -- Kristen Bauer of Charlotte, North Carolina 'The Regulators'
 Hello Robin, first I would like to say thank you for what you do for those of us in the military. I watch you in the morning and was very touched when you did the special series from Ft. Bragg. I am a former member of the 82nd airborne division and served with them in Iraq in Fallujah where I earned my purple heart. The picture I am sending is one of "The Regulators" from the 855 Military Police Co. prior to a mission. After this pic was taken we were hit by an IED outside Ramadi,then again the next day in Fallujah. Thank you for your service. -- Sgt. Allan Lee of Sierra Vista, Arizona Just saw son # 2

 My husband, PFC. Jung-Hak Oh, serving in Iraq, from Fort Hood, Texas. He has been there for 10 months now. I just want to tell him... "Honey, come back home safe, I love you I and miss you!" -- Judy Oh of Killeen, Texas |
