Telephone calls, U.S. Postal Service and my Crystal ball

I sit here this evening after spending a few hours at a Chamber of Commerce mixer wondering what our guys are doing? I have mingled with people of the U.S. Postal Service who reminded me our guy's receive to many care packages...Yeah right! The Verizon Representative who has no clue why they (Our guys) have no good plan for there (ouy guy's ) cells.

My Crystal Ball Say's that they do not understand what these guys are going through. I recently watched some video's on Afghanistan people on Google and found some interesting information. The women there are grossly mistreated. It makes me sick to watch these video's but know it is true. I hope time will make changes.

The communication pipeline seems to be dried up as I have not heard from my boy and I am sure many of you are in the same boat. You feel frustrated, I do. I hope we all hear from them soon. I am missing Alex in a huge way as I am sure you are missing your guy just as much.

My son Matt is with Alpha Company FOB ABAD and I haven't heard from him in a month. Makes for some very long nights. Like the wife always reminds me "no news is good news". The way I like to think of it is "no news is NO NEWS" Keep the faith and keep blogging.

I am extremely lucky to have two of the nicest postal employees who take care of my soldier packages. They always have plenty of the free priority mail supplies for me, and continously tell me they wish they didnt have to charge to send things to our deployed military Even last Christmas when we mailed hundreds of boxes of snack cakes to iraq....they greeted us with smiles and patience!
