Going Back
« on: December 17, 2011, 01:54:41 PM »
 I'm going back and should have boots-on-ground the day my wife is expected to deliver our second child. I'll be gone for close to a year. Please keep her and my children in your prayers, this is gonna be a tough one for us. A little prayer here and there for me wouldn't hurt any either. ;)


I'll need some Handi project ideas once I return.




Thanks, Dinny

Like every one else I am very proud of my nephews-in-arms.
You guys are not only protecting and defending all of us,
you are validating the service of all of us who went before you.
...so we especially appreciate you.


"Lonny
  ps you do know there are other ways to come up with Handi project money than Hazordous duty pay right?"
Lonny's joke about pay brings up a point:
   with Dinny's skills he could walk into any Hospital and get a better paying job in short order.
So I appreciate the dedication that keeps you serving as much as the service itself.


My hat is off to Dinny and all of his contemporaries.
