Hi my name is Debbie and my sons name is Jeremy, he is a corpsman on the Mesa Verde 19.

I seen where some of the moms have been able to talk to their son/daughter. How did you all get to talk to them? I was wondering also if we can mail to them like shampoo, deodorant, etc. I'm worried about how Jeremy handled Haiti. Jeremy was born in the Philippines but he is from Riceville, TN. I'm very glad I have Moms to talk to.

I bought cheese and forgot to put it in his care package...oh well gives me a reason to do a second pretty quick....my take on cheese is if it is sold in an area that is not refrigerated it would be okay. If you look at some cheeses...the more firm cheeses it says nothing of needing to be refrigerated. I personally do not put cheddar cheese in the frig....I keep it under glass on the counter. In the summer it sweats and gets really soft but has a good flavor. So I chose to pick cheddar cheeses. mild, sharp super sharp, colby..etc...I think laughing cow also has a cheese that does not need to be refrigerated as does hickory farms......I really had to look for a good smoked sausage tho'...when I was reading the print it all said to keep refrigerated...hope you heaar from Jeremy soon. I would assume,,tell me If I'm wrong, Jeremy is in the medical field on the ship? I would say he is probably very busy down there if so.
