I remember them too! Remember Desert Storm when they didn’t get their supply-lines in place fast enough and had mil people committing suicide because they had NO information from home for months.
I wrote to FrogDad every day that he was gone, when the mail finally caught up, he got a whole stack of letters.
I wrote to my daughters every of Coast Guard and USMC boot camp. I figured the daily news of home would be so boring it would remind them of why they signed up!
