Not much new here except for the dog trouble that I posted about here and here. I have not heard from Cpl Honda since he left for training. I have talked to his girlfriend each weekend though and she talked to him last weekend. I sent him my phone number through Facebook and it is [...]
This morning I ran across a link on twitter to a soldier’s blog that is deploying very soon the Afghanistan. He write a post about his two-year old daughter. The post is very touching and worth the read. After you are done, leave him and his family a comment and thank him for serving our [...]
