Thank you all so very much!!

Eric has been through in processing at his home Unit, and the logistics are being worked out for transferring to Minnesota where he'll go to college. And he is still thrilled that he shook hands with his fantastic Commander in Chief!

But recently the possibility that his college education will be put on hold because of the war on Iraq has begun to weigh heavily on him. The Pentagon's statement that many reserves will be called up made that possibility seem even more real.

He is ready and willing to go if called.....his boots are shined :o)........but obviously, he would also love to go to college as planned.

To those of you who have prayed, THANK you......I would appreciate your continued prayers for him!

This is such a great tribute! FReepers are the best...

It's too bad we didn't have time to visit when we met in Charleston...but circumstances just didn't allow for it.

I'm so happy you got to speak to the President, and that Eric got to shake his hand!

Give him my regards, and assure him that we are praying for him.
