'A big hello!'


Shane is stationed in Camp Taji, Iraq. I would like to show his face and say a Big HELLO !!!!!!!!! to him and his family from all of us that support him and what he stands for. God bless our troops all over the world.

I am a pen pal to this young man and I feel he very much deserves a salute for what he is doing and where he is at. From our letters to each other he seems very, very nice and ladies, he is single. When he is not serving our country at war time he works for the Green River Correctional Center and he is from Central Kentucky.

'Awaiting the day he returns'


This picture was taken on Family Weekend in Gulf Port, MS. This was only the weekend before he was deployed!

My husband BU3 Anthony Howard is currently serving in Iraq. He has been away from myself and his 3.5 month old daughter for 3 months and we are anxiously awaiting the day he returns to us!
