Happy birthday, Davey! You are wonderful, so brave, loved beyond words and missed!
Jeez, have 28 years REALLY flown by?!
David's serving in the Army infantry right now in Iraq. He's one of the 50,000 troops still there and we're hoping and praying he'll remain safe and return home near the end of the year!

I blogged last year about this, but as a reminder...if you’re interested in helping boost the morale of our soldiers there are quite a few organizations to help you, including Give2theTroops, OperationShoeBox and MilitaryCarePackages.
Wondering what to include in a care package? Consider packing a care box with these items (good for male or female soldiers serving in the Middle East):
Flea collars (like you'd buy for a large dog)
Wipes (like diaper wipes)
Deodorant/anti-perspirant
Foot powder

Body lotion
Ziploc bags
Prepaid international calling cards

Keep safe, Davey, and we'll be seeing you soon!

I have a question..flea collars?
I have two son-in-laws in the Air Force..they don't see the danger your son does..but they do head into very dangerous situations overseas also.We are always on standby for our girls.
all of our churches send over packages..our families and their friends!It sure does help them!!Thanks again for mentioning this.
I checked out Google on Rick-Rack and Gingham I was #1..I got all giddy..we run in a great circle!!!lol
Hugs..Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
Cindy - the flea collars are to repel sand fleas - really bad in the desert! I'll continue to pray for all serving in our military - including your sons-in-laws. And CONGRATULATIONS on your Google placement - gonna check it out!
