First, thanks again to all who have sent packages to Brian. They are appreciated more than you know. He told us how much he has learned to appreciate the little things. They usually share the contents packages they receive- but he told us the cinnamon applesauce is stored under his cot. He told the guys, “You can share the other stuff, but this is mine.”
They have been busy. When he gets back he can share with you the amazing things his platoon has already done over there. Their efforts have saved lives and helped “catch some of the bad guys.” We are very proud of the leadership Brian has exhibited to make it all happen- it certainly hasn’t been easy. Yes, they continue to talk to Brian about re-upping for another four years. Before Afghanistan he was going back and forth. But, he told us when one of his commanders was talking about it again last week he just told him, “Unless there is a $1,000,000 signing bonus it’s just not going to happen." Three intense deployments in 4 years are enough. We’ll just wait and see.
Just thought I’d post some pictures to take us back down memory lane. How time flies.
