As many of you know, my son (19) is in his first week in Iraq. He's doing fine, pulling guard duty, working out, and mostly bored, unless they are hearing mortars. The camp is dirty, dusty, and it's 135 degrees. I get occasional text messages and he lets me know he's doing OK.
Many have been kind enough to ask and send well wishes and have asked for his address, which I finally got this morning.
Thank you all for your support and join me in celebrating this Memorial Day weekend.
My many thanks to all of our Veterans and current troops!
There are a few needs in his platoon I would like to share.
Hand sanitizer
Athletes Foot Cream
Beef jerkey
Gum
MuscleTech powder- I never heard of it, but am looking.
Toilet paper- suppliers contract ran out.
Your prayers!

His mom Sandy, and I are very proud!

Can they use computer based video games over there,......I have no idea.
My gaming days are about over and I've got some good ones!
Let me know.
Vista installed.
Very cool. Thanks!
You would find it at most vitamin or health food places.

He said he just got back from a convoy that the route had 3 IEDs in the last week, but his convoy had no problems.

My youngest has been over there for 9 months, and is due back in 3 months. I talk to him (IM or Ventrillo) at least once a week.

Thank him for his service Alpine from the Topkick clan.
Chase is due back January 09, 2010 for 10 days.

if you email me your number I will put you in touch with my secretary who will be more than happy to take your list, and send something to him. Just email, and we will get it handled. Thank your son for his service
If you get the muscle tech dont do through GNC, way overpriced. Check out some of the online supplement stores instead, they are alot cheaper.
I agree,.....I just pulled up the first link I saw to show him what it was.
GNC is overpriced on everything.
I figured he would shop it,......plus he needs to know exactly what the son is looking for.
I did this for one of our other members about 3 years ago. I'll head for the store tomorrow - well maybe Mon since tomorrow is the race and traffic is a b - well we know the rest. Keep us posted.
