Just wanted everyone to know - Big, Bigger and Biggest on the Science network February 5th will feature the USS Pennsylvania. Our sailor served three years on the Penn.

Any moms willing to write a single letter to the military on the ships in Haiti helping with the relief effort please read below:

Would you be willing to write these letters? Susan said that 22 ships will be going to Haiti and we are trying to get letters in the hand of each sailor. You can go to the MAS room for the address or contact me.
Thanks and please pass the word! Sue
CALLING ALL MOMS! Here is a chance to let ‘our’ sailors know how much we love and support them! If there is one thing every Navy mom learns during boot camp it is to write a great letter! And you Molly moms practice it each and every month sending love to our deployed!

Will you please write a letter or thank you card to a Sailor aboard the USS Carl Vinson which is conducting humanitarian and disaster relief operations? Our goal is to send over 5,000 thank you cards to Chaplain ‘Fish’ by February 10th! He will distribute the cards and letters we send to the crew on the Vinson and the other Navy ships (the USS Bataan, USS Nassau and USS Comfort headed to provide support to Haiti!

Contact your local schools, scout groups and churches! Collect as many thank you notes and cards and send them along! The best (and most cost effective) way to send them might be a flat rate box offered by the Post Office! Let these sailors know that you are proud of them and say thank you for all they are doing!

For the address of Chaplain ‘Fish’ please contact me with how many cards you have gathered and I will be happy to provide the address! Thank you so much!

When the USS Carl Vinson pulled out of Norfolk January 12th on the way to their new homeport of San Diego they were singing ‘California Dreaming’. That night a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and their destination changed. The Vinson was one of the first ships able to respond. We have all watched the news and seen the pictures. But can you imagine what it is to be at sea for the first time and called to duty in such an important mission? To feel the 95+ degree heat, experience the cry for help and pain, see the devastation up close?

Many of our sailors are boots on the ground and many more are providing support for them. Those sights and sounds will stay with them forever. The United States Navy has prepared them to do their jobs, and let's face it; we know they are the best of the best.

These sailors are pumping over 3,500 gallons of water a day to deliver to quake victims, launching well over 600 flights of aid and rescue from their deck, providing security and caring for many injured. They have given of themselves… working long hours, catching sleep when they can. Here is our chance to let them know how much we appreciate all they are doing

WOW BEA! The calendar is wonderful! THANK YOU
Hey Everyone: Before it get's too crazy I wanted to wish each and all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. If you have the chance, hug your sailors twice and thank them for us too.
We are headed to Bangor (WA) on the 26th towing a U-Haul w/our dil's stuff for them up. Expect to be gone for ten days. Hopefully we will get to see our sailor and plan wish our littlest angel (Brianna) happy second birthday a few days late. ~S

Hi Everybody: WE ARE ON for this Sunday!
Here is a note from Kathy - if we want to join in we are most welcome. Thank you Kathy for asking for us. Here is the scoop:

At 12:53pm on September 9, 2009, Kathy Atkinson said…Susan,
Any N4M's can march with the Blue Star Mother's at the Constitution Day parade. Have them meet at the top of Broad street, entry 21 at 1:30. Wear a patriotic shirt, hat, sun screen, bring water, walking shoes. We will carry photos or banners of our kids. (I checked this out with our president). Check out the photo on my page of our group at a similar parade.

We are off today for the annual family reunion at Topaz Lake (395 south of Gardnerville).
The status of the M&G at our house is the same (four deffinates; two can'ts). If it stays this way, we will cancell.

While we are waitingng to hear as far as how much advance notice to give to Commander Nafarrete; I'd like to encourage everyone to check out Nevada City on the internet. It is a nice little city with a very rich history. We are only a little over an hour from Sacramento. I would really like for the event to actually happen. However, truly feel for all of our benefit that we need to have at least ten (eight is the recommended number). I have waited to purchase a gift for the Commander until I know if we are a go or not. I do have a couple of suggestions, and will act on them on Wednesday if we are a go.

For those traveling over the long weekend - be safe and have fun. My angel blessings to each of you ~s
