Wahoo! Another good find by our guys!

Thanks for helping us all stay the course.

Hope you and your family had a happy Thanksgiving. We heard from Wayne by email and phone. His letter is posted today over at Wayne's World. (Tissue moment.)

Penny, I found your blog through someone else's. My husband is with the 155th, too. He's been in Iraq since January. Which unit is your hubby with?
