Hello! Estella,
Thank You very much, I do appreciate the advise, He has been trying to keep in touch as much possible.
I also have sent several care packages as well, You right I'm ready for this deployment to be over as well!
Have you seen any pictures of your son? I sure have, makes me happy and sad at the same time.
Once again thank you and take care of yourself and keep the Faith, I'm trying my best to do so.
Hi Navrine,

I have not seen any pictures of my son. He has not sent any, but I would be excited to see some, but I think I will just have to wait. It seems like forever already and look forward to their return. I have a friend that has a Marine son and she share lots with me which has been a blessing. She has always told me how much the Marines appreciate our guys. You are welcome...ditto on the Faith. : ^ )
Hi, my son is also a Hospital Corpsman in has been in Afghanistan since March. I know how you feel. I am sure by now that you have an the chance to talk to him sometimes. I have sent lots of packages and I always try my best to stay as positive as he does. I am so proud of all of our guys and the job they have. Join some local groups in your area to share things. And of course, keep praying and ask others for prayers too. They have been well trained. Take care and hang in there.

God Bless!
Hi I am staring to send boxes over to A - stan. I got names of sailors from any solider.com I would also like to send to your guys if you want. When I looked at what they want it just brought tears to my eyes. They ask for so little.
Well this is the least I can do for them. Anything besides whats listed below. I know most of the females need sanitary supplies. I was so surprised to read how many females are there!Reading material some even want bennie babies so they can give to the local kids! What a great idea for me to finally find a place for all those uncollectables that lost their appeal and would help them out
Also any solider deployed (I think combat) can sign up for this by going to the sight www.any solider.com I picked one HM3 whose group sounded under the weather.
