We Are methodical in our approach, first getting the best possible information, then setting up the best possible support for each operation, and only then prosecuting our mission, but with keen attention to any possible enemy surprise. Coupled with the prayers and support of you at home – you who represent to us what really matters in this world -- we could not be in better company as we fight. Please take care of each other and know that our high spirits and Deepest prayers are with every one of you. Please give my best to all the ladies back there and tell them I cannot thank them enough for all that they have done for us. Sincerely, Jim

We thank you so very much for all you are doing, and we pray for you every day. You are all so very special to those of us who are truly Americans. Don't worry about what you see or hear on the mainstream media. We are so very weary of those people. Please ignore them.

P.S.: I fell in love with an Airman. It was a long distance love, at first (2000+ miles). We started with letters (after a meeting in person at a party neither of us wanted to go to, while he was on leave in my home town) Neither of us had ever been married, but we were in our late 30's. Anyway, letters turned to long distance phone calls. He was working the grave shift, and we would talk every night just before he went to work (just before I went to sleep). I felt truly "tucked in" as I lay in my lonely bed when he said: "Sleep tight. Your Air Force is awake." Wow. I had never thought of it that way. MY Air Force.

Well, it's the truth. As an American, it is YOUR Air Force, YOUR Army, YOUR Marines, YOUR Coast guard, YOUR Navy, the very life blood of our freedom who watches over you, day and night. Sleep tight.... they're ALL awake! And never ever take them (or your freedom) for granted.

The General has been sent this link to this page, and will most likely read it just to see who says hello, so, lets all say hello!

And if he or a subordinate posts, ask them what he remembers about me kick-boxing. :) I was just a newbie at it all, he thought it was kind of comical, any port in a storm for entertainment when you are in the Arabian Sea for 53 days without liberty!

You know, I can't imagine being in a war zone and I pray every day for our brave young men and women and our leaders. I suppose the most shocking thing to me is how liberals and their liberal anti-any-war allies in the media don't get the war on terror and our mission. They don't seem to remember how they screamed bloody murder when they received antrax in their mailbox.

I can assure you, the media is the terrorists #2 favorite target because they can be assured to get their message out, LOUDLY.

God bless you, General and your wonderful soldiers. We love and support you AND your mission.
