MM Family,
Thank you all for your support and kindness. It means a lot. It's hard to let go of your children and especially to go off to war. Not once but twice or more.
Janice, you must be very proud of Scott. Being a helicopter pilot is a tough and admirable job. I know you will be very glad to have him home once again. Before Nick returned home from his last tour of duty, his outfit had to cross what was called, at the time, the "highway of death" from Mosul to Kuwait on foot. They could only travel during the day so the helicopter's and planes could fly over and protect them. That journey was extremely difficult on both pilots and soldiers on foot. We thank Scott for his multiple tours of duty and protection. It took Nick 7 days on foot and we were on pins and needles the entire time. Janice, it is like you said "freedom is not free". We owe our freedoms to all troops throughout history. I am very glad to hear things are getting better in Iraq. That is encouraging news. Thanks for sharing that. We too will keep Scott in our thoughts and prayers.
Jill, as soon as we have an address for Nick, I will forward it to you. What a wonderful thing your church is doing for the troops. I know the troops appreciate it very much.
My heart goes out to all the people of the south. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. To have no home, no job, no money, no food and some have lost or been separated from their loved ones. The grief and devastation has to be extremely painful. I pray they will soon have some normalcy to their lives and somehow, someway find peace and hope.
Thanks again for your prayers and support.
Hugs and God bless all,
Lore and Kevin
