Hubby is doing fine...scheduled for a 1 year deployment to Kuwait in late 06.....if they don't retire him first...

My nephew JC is back over there right now. He didn't have to go (he's an only child and could have refused a second tour), but he couldn't imagine his men going without him.

I read this post earlier today and imediately started on Christmas cards to all on the list. Included a short note of appreciation for their service and sacrifice. All ten were mailed this afternoon.

The folks on Free Republic are the greatest. I think they will be swamped with cards.
