Hi everyone,
I received a letter from my SAILOR yesterday(3/07), he is enjoying BC to the fullest. His words...."I thank GOD for this opportunity, it is the best decision I have made yet". Words can not express how proud I feel, but those that have loved ones in the NAVY can relate! Two more weeks. We are driving from Lodi New Jersey. Looking forward to the road trip. : )
