I have to say - what a great job you have done with the tribute to the USS Tarawa. My name is Christy Wells, and I am Brian's wife. I am so overwhelmed by all of the support that the Freepers have given to him and to the families. I love my husband more than anything, and all I want is for him and all of the other troops to return home to their families safely. But most of all, Thank you, Freepers, for your support!

The Welcome Mat is always out, Christy. The USO Canteen FReeper Style is open 24/7 to honor our troops, our veterans, their families (that would be you), and our allies. It was such a treat today to put a "face" to a "name" of a fellow freeper, and AN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY GUY. And it was fun to learn some about his ship. It was wonderful to meet his Mom and sister, and now his wife. I hope you visit the Canteen often and enjoy some of the fun we have honoring our troops. God bless our troops and keep them safe as they work to keep us safe.

Hi Christy, it's very nice to meet you. Thank you and Sheila and Melissa and the rest of the family for sharing Brian with us.

I hope you saw the big I LOVE YOU CHRISTY he put in his post yesterday.

We are happy to support Brian and all the crew of the Tarawa along with all our military men and women.

I have to say we were suprised to learn you were an entire family of freepers. :)

The pleasure is truly all ours. It gives us great pride to be able to offer prayers and support. It makes us feel apart of the effort and for that we are grateful.

Stop by now and again and stay in touch. If there is anything we can do for you, just holler, someone is always here at the Canteen.

By the way, my husband and I sent our first care package to the ship today! whoo hoo! We are thrilled to offer what support we can.

Thanks again Christy, rwgal and hunyb.
