Frequent flyer


D Troop, 4th Squadron, 6th Calvalry, Kirkuk, Iraq.

This is a pic of my nephew, Will, who is a helicopter pilot and has been there since June 29 '07. This is his first tour in Iraq. he said that he has flown more in the last two months than the entire year in flight school! I'm so proud of him and even though he has only been there a short time he has already spotted an IED from the air and warned an oncoming convoy and averted a tradgedy. He is my hero! We love him and miss him a lot.

'Pray that he will be home safe'


This is a picture of my huband in Kuwait 2 years ago, he's been so busy this deployment though that he hasn't been able to take any new pictures. We had a going away party before he deployed in July. The party was also a congrats to us and my husband's brother and my sister-in-law for both of our pregnancies. We're only 2 weeks apart! I pray that Brandt will be home safe before the baby is born! His family and I all miss him very much and cannot wait until he comes back!
