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. Attached Image. (Click thumbnail to expand)

It would be very scary for me if my son were there. I will definitely pray for your son's safety. God Bless. -------------------- Cheers! Todd Normal is a relative term.

Your son will be in my prayers. -------------------- "Now here's my secret", said the fox, "it is very simple. It is only with ones heart that one can see clearly.

Celtic Guardian Group: Scotland Posts: 4,920 Joined: 15-Jul-2003 Zodiac: Elder Realm: Outer Space	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..

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

Lord Socknoggle Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 1,994 Joined: 17-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Birch Realm: Lake Orion, Michigan	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.

Celtic Guardian Group: Ireland Posts: 2,131 Joined: 19-Jun-2003 Zodiac: Rowan Realm: Winston-Salem, North Carolina	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.

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 -------------------- Look with the eyes of a child. 'Hope guides me.

Servant Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 48 Joined: 04-Feb-2004 Zodiac: Alder Realm: Sarasota, FL	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.
