The box of cookies is on it's way, via Priority Mail. Hopefully you'll get them on Saturday. I just resupplied my pantry, so let me know if and when Joshua needs another batch!
I was so sorry to hear about his father losing his job. I haven't read a thing in the Detroit papers on it -- they're all obsessing about the auto show at the moment -- but somebody needs to get on this.
I just saw this -- there was an article in the Port Huron Times-Herald on 01/01/06 about Joshua. It's all too short but at least his home town made an attempt to get his story out.

I didn't know Joshua was with the 82 Airborne. My grandfather, a WWII vet, was part of the 509th paratrooper squadron. They were absorbed by the 82nd after WWII.
Geronimo!!!
