Oh and here is the story of this ship:In Jan, I walked into my church sanctuary and who do I spy??? Well, a handsome young man in dress blues! Of course, I dashed right over,shook his hand, then a hug and proceeded to "pepper" him with my many questions. He had the Boxer on his uniform and a "crow", so I evenknew his rank. He told me that the ship carries about 3,000 and they would probably be going out in the fall.I told him about HAE, did he think his CO would allow etc. He said yes. When I got home, I emailed Maryellen about this ship and she has been working on the contact since.In July, I was watching Fox news and saw a clip about a Marine unit in Afghanistan. I thought, we need to do another Marine unit and researchedthat particular unit. They were based out of Camp Pendleton. After several calls, I got a nice young man to help me. He wasn't able to give meinfo on that unit (never did track them down), but he told me about a Marine unit that would be going out soon on a ship. And he explained it to me. Turns out he had been in that unit himself. I followed up as long as I could until school started and I asked Maryellen to continue. And itturns out that the 13th MEU (marine expeditionary unit) was deploying on the Boxer!!!! How cool is that?I am very thankful that Maryellen is able to stick with some of these 1st contacts, cause it just takes time. Which I don't have alot of extra onceschool has started again.And as Paul Harvey would say, that's the rest of the story. And if you have told me or posted it online in the last day, you don't need to respondagain.
