We had such a great time at PIR. We got to meet and spend some time with the young mane my son told us about. What a nice young man. Too bad for his family--they are the ones missing out. Pray for me--now my youngest is talking Navy. I would be p...

This is a great idea. I will tell my son too. It will be really great to share our happiness with someone whose family can't make it. Thanks.

Thanks DonnaM-we've been enjoying our time with my daughter. Glad that you are having a great time with your sailor, too! We went to Red Robbins for lunch and then came back to our hotel for the remainder of our time. Tomorrow, if it's a full day...

Made it here to Chicago this afternoon! We currently are staying in Lincolnshire. I'm gonna have to guess that we will not be able to make it to "meet & greets." Tomorrow, I have to do a little shopping and getting around doesn't come quickly to a...

I'd just like to say that this is so very kind of you to invite along other sailors to your family gathering. We just returned from our son's graduation 2 weeks ago in Great Lakes and it is such a sensational ceremony. I told my son the same thing...

Don't hold on to the guilt over missing PIR. Parents often have to make difficult choices and we don't always like the choice we make. Ask your son about it and then focus on the closeness you have now. He knows you will always be there for him; n...

Wonderful Idea.....We did the same thing a year and 1/2 ago....it was wonderful for all of us involved. I know there are some people who can not afford to fly or drive. We wouldn't have missed it for the world....It sure makes a Sailor stand up ta...

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I think what you are doing is so great. I unfortunately could not make it to my son's graduation (last year), my job would not give me that time off and I didn't know until four days before it was to take place...

Kate, You have done a wonderful and very rewarding thing by inviting Sailors who will be alone on PIR. When my son PIR'ed in December 2006, he had a buddy who's family was unable to attend. We invited him to come along with us for the 3 days we w...
