Patrick made it safe and sound......
He is now in Iraq....He called me from Kuwait on morning....He was heading to Iraq later that day....He will try calling again this week...he will be stationed at the military base of Al-Hasad (I could have that wrong...that's what it sounded like) He said that that they have hundreds of "Tin Can's" set up...Tin cans are just that...Lodgings for two that are made out of metal...they do have airconditioning in them...Patrick said they look like a Metal Box....UGH!...He said it's hotter than *&%# (Instert explicative here) and he misses all of us already...He will have access to his email so he and I can write each other...He can purchase phone cards for about $20 a week...that gives him 60 minutes of international air time...I am going to help him out with those as well...ALready got a care package ready to ship out to him...Going to take it up to Manisa...then she can take it to the base and have it shipped from there....
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers....I'm still worried about him....

Consider it done!
What "unit" is he in? My nephew is at Fort Bragg, and may be going as well ( we don't know yet) If he does, maybe they can get together for a beer or something?
I'll have to find out...The base is in Al-Hasad...Hopefully they have a place on base to "Get a beer" cause he's not allowed off base for anything...I'll let you know!
I will most certainly keep Patrick, and all of your family in my prayers. Please don't hesitate to drop a line if you just need to talk. Been there, done that with my brother last year, so I know how it feels.
*HUGS&
Prayers heading that way.
My stepson is at Camp Anaconda, north of Baghdad and is due home for a two week visit in September.
Thanks Guys!!!
It really does mean alot! I talked to him today...I am suprised how clear he comes thru...He says it's not as bad as he thought it would be...He misses all of us and he's very glad that I'm coming up to Manisa next week...I promised to give Kairi a HUGE hug from her Daddy!!!!
