| Nick's unit was sent to Iraq this week. They've been in Kuwait since January and I'd hoped that he'd stay there. However, I forgot how wasteful the Army can be. It seems that Camp New York in Kuwait is a holding camp and now Nick is in another holding camp. I should be glad for any time he is not riding around in a Humvee being a target... Anyway, please add him to your prayers. If anyone wants to send encouragement to his unit, I'll forward it to them. I think it means a lot to them. All of my friends have not only wished him well, but said to tell him thank you. Not everybody supports the US involvement in Iraq (who does?), but I'm still proud of Nick and all the men & women who went because it was their duty to serve. Attached is a picture of my baby in Kuwait. In the background is the tents in Camp New York. |

| Nick will be in our prayers. Even those of us who oppose the War, support the troops. |
| Posted by: tsargent62 31-Mar-2004, 11:29 AM |
| I certainly understand your concern. It would be very scary for me if my son were there. I will definitely pray for your son's safety. God Bless. |

| I have two sons - the elder is 18 years old - and I asked myself so often how I would feel if he had to do his duty there as so many other young men...As Maisky said; whatever we may think about the War we certainly support the troops! Your son will be in my prayers. |

| Corrigan, I will definetly keep your son in my prayers. My son, Matthew is with the 82nd Airbourne in the Army. He is due to leave for Iraq after July. He is in Artillery and will be going over to help keep the peace. I really do understand how you feel. Nick will be in my prayers til he's back on US soil. American's who do not support the war usually do support the military men and women of which I'm glad they do. Everyone here in the USA owes their support to them cause they help to keep us a strong nation and their serving our country enables them to disagree with any political situation. It's kind of like hate the sin, love the sinner motto. Our milltary personnel do an outstanding job in maintaining a free society for the rest of us. Tell Nick he and his platoon are at the top of my "prayer list" til they touch down back home.. Annabelle Military wife U.S. Navy |

| Thanks! Annabelle, I hope for both our son's sakes that the whole mess is over soon. Is it your son who is making you a gramma? For me, it's my daughter and, Thank Heavens!, she and her family live here in Sarasota. Nick & his fiancee plan to move here when he gets out too. I count myself very lucky... Good luck to your son, Lorelei |

| M'best wishes to your son and his fellow troops. Hopefully he, and the rest of the other sons and daughters will be home soon! |

| Corrigan, You and your Son along with all the other Service Men/Women that are over there, as for that matter, anywhere in the World, has our Thoughts and Prayers for them at all times. We Wish for them all to be Safe and to have a Safe Return. And I do Support what they are doing over there. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 31-Mar-2004, 02:26 PM |
| No it's my oldest son that's going to have the baby. It's my baby of the triplets that's in the military. I wish my kids lived closer A |
| Posted by: tsargent62 31-Mar-2004, 02:34 PM |
| Annabelle, I will keep your son in my prayers also. I can only image how scary it must be to have your baby in harm's way. My oldest is nearly old enough to join the military, something I would encourage him to do. It was the best decision I ever made. Unfortunately, that carries inherent risks. Be strong and of good courage and trust in the Lord to keep your son, and Corrigan's son, safe. |

| corrigan, my prayers for your son and all the other sons and daughters who are in Iraq. I hope he returns safe and sound to his family and friends. Would you please give him a thank you from me and my family here in WV. I appreciate it so much what he and the others are doing for all here in this country. maggiemahone1 |

| Corrigan, I have a cousin who is stationed in Camp New York also. Ryan is a helicoptor mechanic and also fills in as a gunner on the helicoptor. Ryan hasn't been given orders to where they are going yet. If anyone would like to send packages over to help them out, you can mail it to: Commanding Officer of HMLA 167 UNit 77021 FPO AE 09509-7021 That is the CO of Ryan's unit but everything gets distributed throughout the unit and the units share with each other. Things to send: toilet paper razor blades shaving creme soap writing paper, envelopes gum hard candy (remember, they are in the desert) anti-perspirent music cd's BATTERIES, any size portable cameras sunglasses etc. Nothing perishable, cakes, cookies, chocolate etc. Water or juices isn't a good idea. The weight of it creates problems shipping. And don't forget a simple letter. Just send it to the CO and put "for any soldier". You can include pictures of you or where you are from and let them know that your thinking of them. |

| Lorelei and Annabelle, We'll keep both of your sons (and your families) in our prayers, too. We know what it's like to be worrying about loved ones in the military during wartime, and we will always support the troops, wherever they are. Please give them our heartfelt thanks, and may they come home safely to you all soon! Karen |
| Posted by: Dreamer1 31-Mar-2004, 07:46 PM |
| Mike, we'll also keep your cousin in our prayers! Please let him know how thankful we are for what he's doing. Hope he comes home to all of you soon! |
| Posted by: corrigan 31-Mar-2004, 09:34 PM |
| Thank you, Thank you so much everybody!!! I will pass on your prayers and thanks to Nick & his buds. There were 2 things Nick said he needed: Cheap Sunglasses, plain, non-mirrored, Men-in-Black or Aviator Lotion, lot's of lotion. He described being there as like the beach on a windy day, the kind where it's so windy that sand is flying everywhere and everybody packs up and goes home. I thought the description particularly fitting... I have more stuff to send him, but he doesn't know where he's going to be or when he'll get there, sigh... so I'm waiting for the phone call and keeping my cell phone charged. |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 31-Mar-2004, 09:39 PM |
HEH HEH, I knew there was something very important that was needed but I couldn't remember what it was. SUNTAN LOTION!!!!!! Ryan said the same thing. PLEASE, send suntan lotion. You know how the Irish burn in the sun!!!  |
| Posted by: Annabelle 31-Mar-2004, 10:54 PM |
| A Shrule Egan you always surprise me by your wealth of knowledge you possess. I will get a package off this week to Ryan's platoon. I already have Matt's address for when he goes but I didn't have the list of what they need. You are wonderful as usual! A |
| Posted by: Annabelle 31-Mar-2004, 10:56 PM |
| Corrigan if your son's mailing address to send him packages is different than Ryan's (A Shrule Egan posted) please post it so those of us who want to can send along some packages to Nick and his buddies. OK? Almost forgot, Matt said they like to get Wet Ones so they can clean up. A |

| My son is a Marine currently assigned to something in the South Pacific. A month ago he was in Okinawa, but since then his "group" (platoon/division?, I can't keep it straight) is aboard ship and is moving around somewhere doing something. He can't tell us what he's doing or where he's at, and we can't contact him. This "thing" that he is doing should be completed by the summer. His mom and I pray for him constantly. He is a fine Marine corporal, tall and strong, and I am so very proud of him. I read today that the Marines have been relieving soldiers of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division in the Fallujah area. That's the place where those animals mutilated the dead bodies of American civilians, supposedly done in revenge for Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Sometimes I want to be there myself and show those animals the very definition of the word "revenge". While my son is not currently "in harm's way", anyone that knows the military knows that plans can change in a moment, and one day in the South Pacific can become a new day in Iraq. I look forward to the day when, in Heaven, there will be no war, no fighting, no evil, and my son and I can sing together in the angel's chorus. Until then, though, he stands ready to give his all in whatever he's asked. He is my son and my hero. I miss him. |
| Posted by: corrigan 01-Apr-2004, 01:21 PM |
| I have been avoiding all newspapers lately, but the Fallujah tragedy got through my self-imposed censor. I can't and don't want to try to imagine what the families of those poor men are going through. I of course pray I don't ever find out... Nick is in the 67th Signal Battalion out of Fort Gordon. They are still at a temporary camp so I don't know where to send stuff now. But I've got a bunch of stuff waiting to go! Oh yeah, I'll add Wet Ones, unscented I suppose. But I remember the first shopping trip I went with Nick after he moved out. He paid particular attention to the smell of the dryer sheets so as to pick one the girls would like. I hope his fiancee appreciates his attention to detail... Pictures, people, pictures! Can we see one of Ryan? What about your son, Shamalama? The picture I posted of Nick shows Camp New York in the background (or did I already say that?). I add my prayers to yours, Shamalama, that your son stays out of Iraq, to yours, A Shrule Egan, that Matt stays in Kuwait, and to yours, Annabelle, that it's over before he gets there! |
| Posted by: corrigan 01-Apr-2004, 02:13 PM |
| PS I love to see picture of Matt as well!!! |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 01-Apr-2004, 05:17 PM |
| Ryan is to the left, leaning against the helicoptor. Ryan is 6'4", so, imagine how tall the two guys are, in the middle of the picture. Yes, ladies, Ryan is very single!! Two years ago, his unit was returning from war games in Europe and they had a stopover at Shannon Airport in Ireland. Turns out, the girls know when the armed forces flights are landing at Shannon and are always there to greet them. When they saw that his name was Egan, they chased him around the airport the whole time he was there. They kept asking him, what part of Ireland he was from (his ancesters). He had no idea. When he got home, he asked his mother to find out. He's waiting to go back to Shannon now so he can let the girls know, "Shrule". |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 01-Apr-2004, 05:36 PM |
| Here's another of Ryan. When your around Ryan, he's nothing but a big teddy bear. You would never know he was New York State heavyweight wrestling champion in high school and he only weighed 220 lbs. |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 01-Apr-2004, 05:54 PM | ||
Aw shucks, A, but I could have told you that!!!!   |
| Posted by: Knightly Knight 01-Apr-2004, 08:54 PM |
| Corrigan, Your Nick shall be in our thoughts and prayers, as well as all of the others. Our sons and daughters serving our country are due these things. Im very proud of all of them. |
| Posted by: Richard Bercot 01-Apr-2004, 10:10 PM |
| A Shrule Egan, Your Son is a Fine looking young man, I bet you are proud of him too.  |
| Posted by: corrigan 02-Apr-2004, 07:23 AM |
| Very Good Looking! Being a Marine must be very serious business... none of them are smiling. I can see why you are very proud of him! Thanks Knight! |
| Posted by: Annabelle 02-Apr-2004, 07:43 AM |
| A Shrule Egan, are you sure that he's your son? I can tell he's your's cause he looks just like you, good lookin and all but were you 12 when you made him? You can't be old enough to have a good lookin son that old! No way! You look just like a babe yourself! Must have had some wild hormones when you were a teenager. Ryan is a good lookin chap who takes right after the old man! And yes, I have 2 single daughters who are 24 oK! We could be related! Now didn't that scare the pants off of ya? God Bless and keep Ryan and Nick safe always! |

| PS: Some one send me instructions on how do I take a picture in the computer of Matt and put on here. I have a digital camera and I've got pictures on here but don't know how to put into this site... I need "Computer for Dumbies" |
| Posted by: corrigan 02-Apr-2004, 01:30 PM |
| Oh! Oh! I know this one! (However, if I'm wrong please someone correct me so as not to confuse Annabelle). BTW if you own a Mac forget all this and ask for more help. 1. Do you mean the pictures are on your computer? If not go to end. 2. If yes, click on browse button right under the emoticons. 3. It will open up to the last folder you upload anything from, probably My Documents or within My Documents, My Pictures. 4. Find the pic you want and click on it to select it then click on open or double-click to upload. I think that's it, but I can't remember... If the picture is still on the camera we'll have to know if you upload to your computer or to your printer. If it's the latter you probably can still put it in your computer, it will just take some figuring out. Speaking of emoticons, how do you use them? Is there an ettiquette? |
| Posted by: tsargent62 02-Apr-2004, 01:42 PM |
| There's no etiquette per se. It's pretty easy to figure out what you're trying to convey with them. |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 03-Apr-2004, 11:49 AM | ||
 Ryan is my cousin!!!!! Yikes, me have rugrats. THAT'S really scary!!!!   Just remembered, tomorrow is his birthday and I have no way of contacting him on a quick basis. One of the hazards of war. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 04-Apr-2004, 09:45 AM |
| I can't find where Hubby stored all of the picture files? They are not under my Pictures? So I'll have to ask him and then I'll get him to show me. He's the computer person, not me. Thanks Corrigan! I'll keep trying! |

| Look what one of the things that the soldiers have to deal with in Iraq. Camel Spiders Camel spiders are one of the fastest running arthropods. Although they have four pairs of legs, they run using only three pairs. The first pair of legs or pedipalpi are held up in front of them and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects. They have very long, silky setae and are constantly moving in order to locate and pick-up prey. Despite their fearsome appearance and their strong bite, solifugids are unlikely to harm humans. In the past they were considered venomous and extremely dangerous but it is now thought that the only risk of injury resulting from them is caused by shock or infection following a bite. There is no evidence of venom in any part of their body. Camel spiders are nocturnal predators of other arthropods including scorpions and are voracious feeders. Some species kill and feed on lizards and it is speculated that others kill mice and birds. They rely solely on their speed and stealth to catch their prey. In desert areas they are often attracted to lights at night in search of food and their appearance can cause alarm if they enter tents. It is rare to see them during the winter months and they are thought to hide or hibernate during cold periods. |

| Corrigan, Your son is in my thoughts. My brother has been in Iraq since March 27th. It's very scary. When he calls home, you can hear gun fire and explosions. I wish for all of the soldiers to come home safe and soon. |
| Posted by: Eamon 19-Apr-2004, 11:07 AM |
| Prayers and support to everyone who has folks overseas. They have been added to my prayer list (with my buds who are over there, as well.) Shrule, that Whiskey Cobra to the right of your cousin in the photo is one tough bird. I have freinds in MAG-49 who fly them. Oh, and thanks for the spider pic...I may never sleep again... Eamon |

| Ryan was on IM last night with his mother. He told her that he hasn't had a shower in a few weeks and they are rationing water. Our government had a contract with one of the locals to supply water to our troops at the camp. The militants have threatened him if he trucks in any more water and he has taken that threat seriously. Ryan also said, the mail and most of the food supplies have not been coming and our troops in camp are getting low. He hadn't heard the reasoning for that yet. As I get word, I'll pass it on to all. |
| Posted by: mingkee 19-Apr-2004, 07:03 PM |
| hey b4 I left Fort Drum last year, several soldiers in the same barracks sent to Iraq just in several days when I saw them in Desert uniform, something funny comes to my mind oh! they're going to Iraq wish everybody there are safe sigh...they're just fight for the...not the country |
| Posted by: Annabelle 19-Apr-2004, 08:26 PM |
| Dear God it's getting worst over there. They can't live without water, food and mail. How long can this continue! Very upsetting! Calling my congressman tomorrow. |
| Posted by: corrigan 20-Apr-2004, 06:43 AM |
| Nick is now in Afghanistan. I was so relieved to hear it with all the fighting in Iraq right now. He is tired, but he says it's better than Camp New York. There is a phone for every 10 soldiers instead of every 50. My prayers go to Ryan. I will pass this on to Nick next time he calls. Thanks for the Camel Spider pic! The universal reaction is Oh-My-God! I want them all to come, but especially my Nick. |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 03-May-2004, 05:40 PM |
| Here's the latest picture of Ryan. He just finished repairing one of the helicoptors. If you would like to view more pictures of his unit, click here: http://www.warriorfamily.com/pictures.htm |

| Nick and Ryan are in my prayers. As are all the other sons and daughters over there. I have a nephew there also. My hubby was in desert storm and I remember what it was like having him there. It would be even worse for me if it was one of my sons. God Bless them all and may He bring them all home safe-soon. |
| Posted by: maisky 03-May-2004, 07:14 PM |
| We can all be very proud of your sons and daughters serving in the military. |

| It was great to see that big smile on Ryans face in the picture. KEEPING him in my prayer always. |
| Posted by: Siobhan Blues 04-May-2004, 09:04 AM |
| Yes, what a wonderful smile!! I just found this topic, noticing it because my friend's son just found out that he's scheduled to go back to Iraq in August... the whole family is very troubled, because they thought he was home to stay. I will be thinking of Nick and Ryan now too. Let's hope this war is resolved soon and all of our soldiers are able to return home. Siobhan Blues  |
| Posted by: corrigan 04-May-2004, 12:44 PM |
| What a great smile! Nick is doing well and isn't in any serious danger right now, thank heavens! He's fixing fiber optic stuff so we're hopeful that it will help his future. I rarely watch network tv, but I surfed into channel 7 (abc I think) and they had the pictures and names of our dead. I watched for as long as I could stand it. I want to say something to those families, but what could I say that would help? Nothing I think, but I am glad that the networks are making us aware of who they are. |
| Posted by: barddas 04-May-2004, 01:09 PM | ||
I am glad to hear your son is ok! And to the question of what to say to those families that have lost loved ones. I personally wouldn't say anything. I would listen.  I am sure they have far more to say, which will aide in thier healing. That is far better than anything *I* could say. |
| Posted by: barddas 04-May-2004, 01:15 PM | ||
Nice photo, A Shrule! It seems as though his spirits are up. I wish all the soldiers over there well, and that they all return home soon! |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 22-Jun-2004, 09:06 PM |
| Ryan, unfortunately, had to do some duty he hoped he would never have to do today. He has picked up wounded and prisoners many times since he's been in Iraq but today was his lowest day. He was sent out to pick up 4 Marines in his unit. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040621/photos_ts/mdf603774 Three of the four in the picture.

| A Shrule Egan, My prayers to you, your family, Ryan, and his crew. My son is in the Army (Infantry) and currently in Alaska, but I expect that before the year is over he will be either in Iraq or Afghanistan. |

| O'siyo, My 'meditations' and 'spiritual askings' will be full with well wishes for the men and women and their families that are at 'war' now~~ I have a cousin who has been in Iraq since September '03..he hasn't been home as of yet but, when he does come home, he has a new baby son waiting on him born January '04~~ David is in the Marines and is planning on making a career out of it like his dad, my brave Uncle ~ I have read the posts here and everyone is correct when saying that even though some of us may not support the 'war' we will always support our troops!~ ~~ Sty-U  |
| Posted by: Annabelle 25-Jul-2004, 09:26 AM |
| corrinne, Matt is definitely going to Aftganistan in December! I'll keep you posted. When is your son coming home? |
| Posted by: BluegrassLady 25-Jul-2004, 10:28 AM |
| Annabelle, is Matt your son? Hopefully, the situation over there will be better by then and our young people will be coming home, not more going. Barddas, hope Ryan is well and safe. Both men, along with all of our nation's brave men and women, continue to be in my prayers. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 25-Jul-2004, 05:38 PM |
| Yes Matt is my youngest son and the baby of the triplets. I certainly hope you are right and more will come home but we support the military. Did i misunderstand Ryan is Egan's nephew right? Annabelle |
| Posted by: krmsmax 26-Jul-2004, 06:12 AM |
| I have nothing but the greatest respect for those who serve in the military. Being an Air Force brat myself, I know how difficult it can be. I have a friend who is being deployed in October with the TN guard who's son is also being deployed to Iraq. I constantly keep all of the men and women in uniform in my prayers and will continue to do so. |
| Posted by: BluegrassLady 26-Jul-2004, 06:30 AM | ||
Triplets - WOW!! They must have kept your home lively while they were growing up!! Boys or girls?I went back thru the posts and Egan said Ryan is his cousin. |
| Posted by: Aragorn 26-Jul-2004, 08:41 AM |
| I will certainly keep him in our prayers. I was in the Army for 5 years back when desert shield was going on and I know how stressful it can be for you. I know he will be craddled in the hands of God. It is a wonderful thing to serve this great nation and I hope and pray all goes well. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 26-Jul-2004, 09:07 AM |
| Bluegrasslady, it was always alot of fun when triplet's were little. House was always crazy. Kids in the neighborhood running thru all of the time, but wouldn't have had it any other way... triplet's are 2 girls and one boy. Thanks for clarifying the relationship of Ryan being Egan's cousin, not Nephew. Poor kid doesn't want those defective genes. Annabelle |

| Just put my eldest back on a plane to South Carolina. LAX to SFO to Myrtle Beach. Got a call, they cancelled his LAX to SFO leg. Nay Nay, I have a connection. Scurry scurry and they got him to SFO in time and he made the final leg. His luggage didn't but he did. So far he has spent the war (paraphrasing Patton) shoveling fecal material in South Carolina. Will be going to Kunsan AFB in Korea this winter. Knowing what he does, where Kunsan is and the current climate in Korea, I'ld rather he go to the Mid-East, so would he. He has that young man's "I'm missing the war all my buddies are fighting in" feeling. His Mom and I are glad he isn't but that's the breaks. He joined spring of 01. All his buddies that enlisted after the Towers have been in theatre, some twice. We're proud of all of them. Dad feels like the old firehorse that heard the bells, smells the smoke, but nobody came and dropped the harness on. Lest we forget. Lest we forget. |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 01-Aug-2004, 09:40 PM |
| Ryan will be back in North Carolina the week of August 23. He has to wait til sometime in November for his enlistment period to be up. He has said, he will not be re-upping again. He has put in 5 years in the Marines and says he wants to see the world from a different view. |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 01-Aug-2004, 09:44 PM | ||
For the record. Ryan is my 1st cousin, once removed. Meaning, he is the son of my cousin. |
| Posted by: BluegrassLady 02-Aug-2004, 05:20 AM | ||
So glad to hear that Ryan will soon be stateside this month. Bet there's going to be a party when he gets home!  |
| Posted by: BluegrassLady 02-Aug-2004, 05:23 AM | ||
So, that's what "first removed" means. I have a few of those as well!! Just never knew what to call them! |
