I was able to email my sailor. You need to ask them for there new email address. I do not know how easy it is for them to get access to a computer.
The holidays are so hard. This will be my second year of not seeing him for both Thanksgiving &Christmas. We just have to remember how much we love them & that they know it.
When should we send Christmas boxes out? I wonder how long they will take during the holidays. The last box I sent took about two weeks.

nicksmum,
I lightened up the picture just a smidge using adobe photoshop. I would be happy to send it to you.
My son wants Chipolte Tabasco sauce. I am looking for it. Franks is what I use at home. Who ships free? I have been sending items through the US Post Office.

that picture is on amphibious squadron 11, uss germantown, navy.mil, and flicker, I tried to print the picture but it keeps coming out too dark. I am still amazed that those two ended up in the picture together and can only believe that someone up above put that together.
my son loves hot sauce too, he likes franks hot sauce, I am going to start another package for him today. I was thinking of using some of those free shipping companies to send him some stuff for xmas.

I was emailing back and forth last night with my sailor. I asked him what he might want in the next box. Can you believe " Tabasco sauce". I will send one out this week
