Hi Michele,

ThanksMichele, I changed my Facebook picture for the 9/11 memorial, something with the American flag, I have 4 yellow labs so this was a perfect picture for me. Decided to make it my profile pic on here too
So how is your Matt holding up? My Matt sounded good when he called today, said he'd made a lot of friends and was still glad he'd joined. I was relieved when he said that, but my husband is retired airforce, so he's somewhat used to the military life.
Ok time I went to bed I guess, talk to you soon,
Sue
Hi Michele
I just heard Congratulations on your phone call !!!! I'm sure it makes the wait a little least sad.

Hi Michele how are you holding up?
I was wondering the same thing. My son's name is Dodds (last name) they most likely only know each other by their last names. When I was in basic there were only a few people that I knew by their first names. Have you received a letter or call yet?
