Posted: 01:20 PM ET

Here is a photo of our son A1C Ian Ogden and our nephew Ssgt Christopher Guthrie. Both are deployed at Blad Air Base in Iraq. Ian is stationed there to provide security to contractors on base. When Ian first arrived there he was stationed with his other cousin SRA Scott Haviland whom has returned recently to Shaw Air Force Base. We all here miss him very much and awaiting his return to us in Virginia. Being retired US Navy I know he has a job to do and I know he will make us proud and his country proud of what all of our military men and women do every day. Thank you.
