KyJoe, Thank you for your input from a military perspective. I have sent a couple of care packages with his favorite snacks. In one I sent funny books (not my humor, but definitely his...he will be surprised I sent them). I have refrained from being my usual mushy self except for one email in which I did say I love him and am praying for him. I wrote it after one of his buddies told me he and his guys are being hit hard.
