I just found out from one of my brothers that his son is now in Afghanistan! He wrote to let us know that Alexander was OK and wasn't involved in the Chinook crash yesterday. That's the first I even knew he was there! I'd thought he was going to Iraq, but I guess not. He flies Apache Longbow helos for the Army, to the envy of his dad. Gerry always wanted to fly helos, but was in the Air Force, and even though at the time he finished the USAF, there was a joint program with the Army in helos, they wouldn't let him do it. He ended up flying C-130s.
Let us know if his unit wants anything!!
Offer the moon and we'll manage to lasso it!
Any recent news on your nephew who was and may still be in Afghanistan?
Please let us know how he is.
