Today was an emotional day...thinking about what is to come this next week.  In church today I got

My sis has been supporting the troops for years by sending Jerky overseas.  Here is a link to her website for some fabulous jerky.  I know that she will be sending some to my son when he starts bootcamp in September.  He will have some lucky mates. 

In the meantime, if you want to send some to your sailor, check out the link.
