Moms who's sons or daughters are on the Uss Essex.
Marianne, I am sorry that you missed KT's call. That just breaks my heart.
I meant to say won't you know it as soon as we left the grandparents' house to go home, Hans called their house and we missed him. He didn't have time to call us he had to go back to Great Lakes.
Marianne, Hopefully KT will call you this weekend. I know exactly how your feel. Last year I kept expecting Hans to call us from boot camp on Christmas. He was adopted out by a church so I knew he could call. We were at his grandparents' house all...
I wanted to just cry today. We got up this AM and went to church and then headed north about 75 miles to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. After dinner and devotions I turned my cell phone on. Katie had called at 9:57 AM (3 minutes before church began an...

I have a suggestion for a possible Christmas gift for our sailors . I got a Hickory Farms brochure yesterday and it shows that they will mail some of their packages free to APO/FPO addresses.
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone has a really great day with their families. I will be lighting a blue candle today.

Did anyone hear about the earthquake in Japan? I sent my daughter an e-mail; just a minute ago, but ofcourse I haven't heard back.

- I remember earlier when moms were talking about upcoming birthdays that your son has one in September. If he'd like an extra bday greeting, I'd be happy to send one if you want to give me his name/rank and DIV. My daughter Katie is a DC on the Essex, what rate is your son?

Very proud of my step-daughter Alexis for joining the Navy. She will have so many more chances to do stuff with her life. Looking forward to talk to you more later.
Thanks,

- Hello Michelle, Hans is an E-3 and a yeoman. I gues he is getting a tour of the ship today as it is Friday morning there. He called us this morning (night for Japan) and said his sponsor would show him around the Essex in the morning.

Kim said… - His name is Jonathan Connor. He is a fire controlman. He has been on the Essex since last February. He has never been one to communicate and hasn't changed much. I get no news. He was home for less than two weeks after Christmas. It cost him over $2400.00. I found a picture of him on the internet recently. The caption read:
SEA OF JAPAN (Dec. 4, 2008) Fire Controlman 3rd Class Jonathan Connor, assigned to the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), steadies a Sea Sparrow surface missile during a download of the Sea Sparrow Surface Missile System. Essex serves as the flagship for Combined Task Force 76, the Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious force commander.

- Hi Michelle,
Sorry it took so long to write back..My daughter has been on the Essex, pretty much as long as your son Stephen. Her title is Fireman/Engineer...so I'm wondering if they know each other...lol. She has been enjoying the traveling too. ..been alot of places....but she works very hard. She gets up at the crack of dawn and barely enough time to have to eat and then back at work...till aprox. 10:00 at niight. I totaly miss her. It's been too long...but it's been so good for her...as I'm sure you know. It has brought us closer together.
So, it would be interesting to know if they know each other...:)
