One of my friends just headed over there with the 1st Cav. This is his second deployment, but he told me just a few weeks ago that he is really anxious to head back over.

His parents did not approve of Danny joining the Army after 9-11, so his sister, his brother-in-law, and I are his main supporters back here at home. We have already shipped off a care package and are getting ready to send another one this weekend.

One thing that we sent the last time that was a huge hit was Root Beer Barrels. They were extremely popular with the troops, the local kids loved them, and you can pick up a 2-pound bag for just a couple of bucks at Wally World.

mmmmmmm root beer!

Yeah, I loved those when I was over there too! Those things can keep you awake for a long time, and they taste great. Thanks for supporting the troops, especially when their own parents won't!
