All under control for Bagram. I don't have time to post much because Thanksgiving is at my house and the latest count is 12. Painting & flooring of the guest rooms continues. I have individual gift bags for the 100 soldiers which I expect to ship Sat after T-day, but another week would still be okay. I'm still trying to think of a group gift for the unit.
