Giving thanks


My son Nicholas was recently home on a brief leave from his deployment in Iraq and he stopped by his former grade school, Fields Memorial, in Bozrah, CT, to thank 8th grade students of his sister's class for their support in collecting items, which were sent to Nick's troop in Iraq for Christmas. Nick talked with the class and teachers, sharing some of his experiences in Iraq since he was deployed. He will not be home again until December 2008.

'Can't wait to see you'


I want to say that I miss my husband Chris very much. He is serving in Iraq as a cpl in the Marines. We just got married on August 4 and he was shipped out on August 14. We miss him very much. Our baby son is growing and will have his first birthday on December 4th. We are so proud of Chris. Can't wait to see you. Be safe. We love you.
