Ladies it has been an honor to be part of your group, my son is back at Lemoore, and I hope to continue to hear from some of the great friends I have met during Landons deployment. Thank you all for your wisdom, listening ear, and just plain friendships. Please keep in touch, Landon will be attached to the Ronald Reagan in the next deployment which hopefully wont be until next December. Take care and God Bless you all.
