The thing I love the best about the CIC. If it were up to him, he'd be doing rather than talking.

I will keep your nephew in my prayers! I try to keep in touch with what's really going on through blogs and reports here. I am really glad the President mentioned that website. We're going to try and "adopt" a cause to keep the kids busy this summer doing something important. Wish I could do more.

" I will keep your nephew in my prayers!"
That is very much appreciated. I seem to live with these guys, doing mental patrols with them in some rather precarious situations. During my nephew's first deploy to the pit, I used to dream about killing insurgents along the Euphrates river next to say Fallujah. This war has been a bit on the personal side for me. I am so glad you will visit the web site the president mentioned. Many folks do not realize how much it means to these guys to get a little letter from a child, and teenager, and adult, some small package of goodies, say a box stuff full of something like Pringles, candy, junk food they don't get over there.
They don't ask for much yet do so much for this country.
Perhaps the most important thing that came out of his speech was the pitch for Americans to check out the web site. One can sense he has a love for our men and women in uniform and in spirit is one of them. He is a real CIC.
You take care.
