I've seen Congressman Billybob here and there on FR and have always admired his comments. Good to know more about him now. Our "home" here on FR is a better place with him on our side.

Just wanted to add one more thing. I received an email from my oldest in an "unknown" location in the Persian Gulf. I had sent him a comment from another Freeper and he responded. Here's his email. As you can tell we are a family of baseball fans.

====================

Dad&Mom

What up Dad? Yeah, it looks like Mike is doing pretty well. His stats are the best in his 4 yrs of college ball. I wish I was there to see it. This weekend is pretty big for his team. They need a sweep to get some breathing room for the playoffs. I actually saw some espn baseball highlights on opening day. It was so nice to see some of home.

Yeah, I wish we could see all the news. We do get AFN and CNN headlines and FOXnews, but only in short spurts. Oh, and espn every now and then. When I get home I will fill you in on all the details of what we are doing. It is truly incredible. I will never forget it.

Even if the Rangers suck, it will be nice to go see them play when I get back. I will have to take my unborn son.(crossed fingers) Get him started early.

You can tell the Freepers that I and everyone here deeply appreciates all the support, it means so much to know that our work is not unnoticed, and some Americans care.

Anyway, good to hear from you, I better go, starving, time for some food. Flew last night and didn't get in til around 0300. Hot as a mofo here today. The a/c can't keep up.

Take care and talk you soon. Love Brian

He and your other son cannot begin to imagine how many prayers are sent forth for them, and all those engaged around the world, on a daily basis!
