So sweet LadyX, smiling. Will keep B.J. in my Prayers. My cousin's specialty in the Marine's is communications. Up until last week, we didn't know exactly where he was, his unit is classified. Well, just as we all suspected, he is in Baghdad. In a letter he wrote to his folks a few weeks ago, he said "sorry I haven't written, but I have been a little busy" A little busy, LOL! Nice to read about your Dad's military history.
