My youngest son, Travis, joined the Navy last year. He is stationed in San Diego, CA, as an Intelligence Specialist. He left on a 6-month voluntary deployment to Iraq. I have only heard from him once since he left. I was used to hearing from him almost every day, either by text message or a phone call, so this is very difficult for me! He promised me he'd be home for my birthday next year! I can't wait!!! I love him and miss him! And I am SO PROUD OF HIM!
HOOYAH!

My husband is currently overseas in Afghanistan with the 101st airborne, 1-506 able co. I would just like to say that I miss him and love him very much and I can’t wait to see him again. My daughter and I are so proud of him for serving his country and to give the people their freedom!

Chris will be coming home for some R&R on December 20th and we have been married for 2 1/2 years. All of his family misses him so much. His two brothers are very proud of him and look up to him.

He is getting ready to adopt my daughter anytime now all we have to do is fill out the papers and then she will have our last name, and when he comes home we are going to try to have another baby!! We all love him very much and pray for him!
