Comment by Barry's wife on May 20, 2010 at 1:21pm: I got Barry's last letters today. He sounds super excited to finish and is counting down the days :)

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on May 20, 2010 at 1:05pm: I've cried so much at work these last few weeks if someone catches me with a dry eye they ask what's wrong. Lol maybe that's why they block it on the computers. Yeah for smart phones :)

Comment by Mar ProudSailorMom on May 20, 2010 at 10:03am: Tina - this is precious!
My family background was Army too....but my husband and oldest son are Coast Guard...and now we have NAVY! I couldn't possibly be more proud of our military. They give SO MUCH to protect SO MANY. Not just our US citizens - but the citizens of the world.

Have a beautiful day and I look forward to our BIG DAY next week. Lots and LOTS of prayers to be said between now and then! :O)

PS..My husband did spend time in your fair city as a Air Force/Coast Guard exchange student. They were some of the best times he had in the academy! We are even investing in a brewery/restaurant there outside the gates of the Air Force Academy!!! It'll be a good reason to come visit there when it's done!!

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on May 20, 2010 at 9:52am: Folks, all this talk about blue candles and star flags really hit me last night. Because I am from a military family, the official holidays of military focus were just regular days with some extra thought in them. My real military 'holidays' were the days when my dad and I sat and went through his West Point yearbook, and he told me about his classmates and their fates. One third of his class (1941) died between 1941 and 1945, in all the different theaters of WWll. This was a private thing that he did not talk about much.

I live in Colorado Springs, home of Ft. Carson Army Post, Peterson Field Air Force Base, Shriever Air Force Base, and the United States Air Force Academy. There are more military bumper stickers in this town than you can shake a stick at, but I don't have anything on my car. I decided that after I get the "I'm a Sailor" call, I'm going to order bumper stickers to honor, for all to see, the people in my family who have served. When I wrote them down, it read like an unexpected joke.

I don't think there is enough room on my little car!

I'm so proud of these kids and how they are testing themselves every day. Just brings tears to my eyes.

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on May 19, 2010 at 11:39pm: Best of luck Denise to Adam and all of 196!! We will keep the prayers going and the candles aburning. Can't wait to hear your GOOD NEWS!

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on May 19, 2010 at 11:16pm: This website has a wealth of information - that was just from one group that I just cut and pasted the info from. I don't have the star yet is that the flag for military families?), but plan on doing the burning! Just something small to show our suport for all! But imagine, if we all do it like the moms and families before us, and those who will follow, the magnitude of this show of support. Just by lighting one blue candle. Thats powerful! Glad to help DeannaD, its one big circle of support. What goes around, comes around, and around. Might have to check out Lowes on the night light - that's a great idea Bryters. And no worries with those at night. And clkilty....shhhh;....teehehehe....we won't tell your father-in-law....but glad you said that, lets be careful in our exuberance to show our support....now let's light those candles!!
