Thank you so much for your kind words and information you provided me. Wish I would have found this site earlier when he left. My son sounded good when he called today. He will be carrying the Minnesota flag. He said for us to sit on the South side, they will be entering from the North. He is a grad & go. Have a safe trip & hope to see you there!
Hello Aveoamare, That little sailor is a Cutie. Not sure how to private message, to new to technology. If you could point me in the right direction. lol Mom4L0ve
Oh, lol, I didn't think about that. His last name is Loughrey. He said he is the only one who gets up at 0430 in the morning to do additional physical training the special ops division since he wants to Search and Rescue and a Hospital Corpsman. btw, i love reading your posts on the main page! young love is so cute!!
Hello Aveoamare! My son's name is Derek. I just found out I have a letter at home waiting for me. I will tell him your husband's name in my next letter. I wonder if he will mention anyone's names in that letter today. His girlfriend got a letter yesterday and he said he's really tired but doing good and loves the letters from everyone, it really helps him get through.
aveoamare-if you could send me an address to either you or your husband, i would be more than happy to pick up a $25 card & send it so he can call you. you have a beautiful family, and i'm sure he is missing you & would love to hear your voice!
