Hi gang
As most of you know we have 4 family members in the US ARMY.
Yesterday we got a call from our one son who is in the SF 7th Group (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o290/stlthy1/specfor.jpg) He was to deploy for Afgh again in Aug. He told us that his deploy has been moved up to May and that's all he could say.
This morning we got a call from the FRG 1st SSG giving us heads up on our other son who is 82nd Airborne (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o290/stlthy1/aa.jpg) She said his deploy is still Aug for his 3rd tour.
My oldest daughter and our daughter in law are not being deployed at this time.
My hair gets grayer :-\
Thanks for listening.

You and your family are true American Patriots. My thanks and prayers go out to you and and the members of your family who are members of the US Armed forces who are defending our way of life.
Thank you all
Nathan
NePaS,
I honestly don't see how you guys make it with 4 members of your family in the military and all of the tours and deployments you have gone through. Please tell them all from Jan and me how genuinely appreciative we are for their service. NePaS, you and Mrs. NepaS have raised an admirable family.
God speed to them all.

God be with all of you Nepas. You and your family are in my prayers.

We'll keep them in our prayers.
Please pass along to them our appreciation for their service and let them rest assured that we will continue to lift them up in our prayers. Be very proud my friend of the family you have.
Thank you and your family for your service on behalf of me and my family. I hope I can somehow measure up to your standards and pass this valued 'gift' along to others.
I'll keep your family in my prayers also NEPAS. Our local reserve unit just got called up and left last week for training then overseas.
Stay strong, Neepers, Old Buddy! God will watch over and take good care. I'm thankful your kids have chosen to stand on the wall to protect us while we sleep. There is no greater calling than to protect your country. Those soldiers don't ask for fortune or fame, money or medals. They are our greatest national treasure and you should be extremely proud to have four of those treasures. From one vet to another, please give them my thanks for picking up where many of us have left off.

If you run out of Yellow ribbon Nepas give me a call I have extra I'll send it your way. One better I'll put 2 more ribbons on the tree out front.
God speed Nepas....just found out tonight the son, (in-law) hate that term, is off to korea for 11 months...needless to say my daughter is not pleased but understands military life! I wish yours the best, along with all of our troops!

Thanks everyone, I will pass it on to them. This is making me want to tip the JD bottle ;D

Nepas,
Your children are what makes this country great.
Tell them thank you.
And thank you Rick for raising great Americans.
They are always in our prayers.

Tell him and your daughter he is in our thoughts and prayers. At my wifes work a lady got called back up to active duty after being out for 3 years. I ask my oldest daughter who is Army Intel whats going on, of course she cant say much.
nepas
I thank you for raising such a wonderful family and will pray for safe returns.
Hugs from us to yours NePa.
This might be a real dumb idea but but would any of your kids like some more e-mail buds? I know they all have close family and friends, but would a few more be wrong?
NePa;
I really appreciate what your sons and daughter are doing for our country.

From what i am being told by the Army this is mission critical and all emails are going through a secure encrypted program. I can ask the frg and see. TY for wanting to do this. If there were more Americans doing this our troops would like it.

I find it hard to express in words what it means to me for you and your family - for doing so much, for answering the call to protect that which we hold dear. I pray that God holds those precious sons and daughters/soldiers in the safety of his bosum and give Mom and Pop peace while they are away!
