FrogMom..

Airborn? I wish. :)

Just a proud member of the U.S. Army doin' my duty in the Gulf, and a PROUD AMERICAN supporting OUR TROOPS!

TROOPS: AAAAWHOOOH! :)

Ahhhhh - I spent many a Saturday at the DZs on the backside of Bragg. Picnicing and re-packing...

Kids loved it while FrogDad would go up and throw himself out of anything that flew.

He, too, did DS. Thank you both.

This whole situation is giving me flashbacks, by the way.

I walked in from work around 5 one day and my Mother and tadpoles were sitting on the couch. My eldest said, "Sit down, Mom, the war just started." Of course, didn't have FR, then, only had CNN. My TV was on the news 24-7 - I even slept with it on. The tone of voices would wake me up if anything "exciting" happened. Left tapes running in the VCR when I'd go to work for a scan that night.

Would sit down every night and write up the day's events to mail the next AM to FrogDad. He didn't miss any family "happenings" while he was gone, he got a daily report, albeit a little later than they happened.

Now he's retired from the Army but is teaching MI to new troops.

God bless these men and women.
