Hi ADAM ESPENHOVER -- I keep checking this website everyday in hopes there is some verification of how or where you are and most importantly WHEN YOU ARE GOING HOME! I wish I knew what you needed over there. I haven't sent anything lately, other than smokes, because we've not heard if you received all of our other packages and mail. From other postings on this site it appears stuff is now getting to you but we're not sure what you want or need. I know you have other things to do besides write letters but hopefully you can get one off to your mom or dad soon. We have heard that you may be going back to Italy in about 6 weeks. That would be terrific but I really am not sure where that information came from so maybe we shouldn't count on it. Today is a rainy, dreary day but we didn't get the severe weather that was predicted. The news has pretty much deserted you guys--the channels that used to carry the Iraq war news 24/7 are now carrying paid advertising and other junk. As I've said before, I'm just hoping these messages are getting to you so I want you to know that you are loved and thought about constantly. Take care and call or write as soon as you have a chance. I'm hoping you have everyone's phone number and/or address. Love, Diane

Just wanted to let you know you're on my mind. Stay safe! You are irreplaceable!!! Love you tons, Mom PS: Jezebel tripped and fell during a cross country competition at a show on Saturday...and 'Manda cushioned her fall. 'Manda isn't sporting a cast, but the orthopedic doc thinks a small bone is broken in her elbow. You know your sister -- she's taking the whole incident in stride. :-) Oh, and Jez has a scrape on her leg and a little boo-boo on her head, but is okay.

But they were both excited and thrilled that they have finally heard from you. It was good to know that you are okay and things are going okay as well. Mom is sending you a couple of things and eventually you should be getting somethings from other relatives as well. Keep you eyes open on the post. Keep your head and down and don;t get too comfortable. Take care, Dad.

I'm happy you started receiving letters and packages, hopefully there are more coming!!!I talked to your mom last night and even though I promised not to tell her what you asked me to, I couldn't help that. I just gave her hints and she came out with a terrific news: most of you guys got hurt in playing soccer, is that true???She read that in the paper. If it is like that, well love of my life you deserve a huge kick where the sun doesn't shine!!!I got so worried on the phone, and by the way what the hell did you have to laugh for?

Hi Richie Farquhar..how are things in the sand tonight? Cold here but no bugs yet. We are heading to Port Huron this weekend so we will be checking in with your mom and dad. We say all of them last month and met Kristy's boyfriend when we were there. I see from Jamie's note that her dad is doing better that will make Uncle Gary happy..I'm sure by now you know they were best buddies growing up in Marysville. Don't know if you get to read these or not but I'll keep writing to you just in case. I have tried your email address but they bounce back at me. You made the papers in Onaway last week when a bunch of people from our church put ribbons on the Freedom Tree with your name on them. Your name is also in the window of an office downtown so all the town remembers to pray for you and your safe return...now there are about 25 other names on there too but we only look at yours and Corey's. Did you know your cousin Angela's husband is over there now too? He was in the Marine reserves and got called up. Angela is home with the two little boys. Well enough for now...hugs, much love, prayers and thanks for what you are doing for us. God Bless you and your company!

If someone reads this and knows PFC Roberto Sandifer/ BCO-2/503-173rd Airborne, tell his mom says she loves him and misses him. Please tell him to try and get someone to notify us and tell us if they have an idea when they are coming home. God Speed Love, Mom

Your Dad keeps us posted and he was so excited yesterday and today to have received a letter from you this past week end. He is showing it to everyone! I would like to thank you on behalf of the Pine Crest family for the great sacrifice you have made in fighting for our freedoms and for what is right! You are a true HERO and we are so proud of you. I hope by now you have received the packages that we have mailed to you. There have been several letters mailed also from the different classes. All the students here now have a new HERO and are all looking so forward to meeting you someday when you can get a leave and visit us. Your photograph is posted on several honor boards around the campus and teachers constantly ask your Dad about your progress, whereabouts, and how you are doing physically and emotionally. He is so proud of you! Don't worry about him, he has plenty of people here who cares much for him and checks on him daily. He is very respected here and has earned our respect as one of our leaders. He has impressed so many with his knowledge and is such a wonderful asset to this school. I'm certain that you too share his traits and personality. Once again, I can not tell you how proud he is of you and how proud we are as well. Please share our thanks to all the soldiers of your unit and express our sincere gratitude to them as well. Hope to see you when you return. God Bless you! Love, Dana

He complained some, but was happy to be there. For Tom Hudson, the letters brought his 18-year-old son closer to him than ever. The two always had a strong bond, he said, but now each had experienced the horrors of combat and the longing for family. “Well, dad, we’re deep into Iraq now, and we’re starting to get into the crap” Thomas Colin Hudson wrote from Iraq, where he is with the 101st Airborne Division. “Dad, you were right, because I am scared to death. I blew you off when you tried to tell me that would happen, but you were right.” Tom Hudson, a Vietnam veteran and retired Army general, said the letter made him proud for his son. “I’m not a really sensitive man. Not many things get to my heart, but that did. It brought tears to my eyes,” said Hudson. The elation was followed by fear. Hudson said he knew what his son had jumped into, and it frightened him. “I was real scared,” said the 56-year-old. His reaction was common among families as they received their first letters from the front. First there was joy, regardless of what was written. Then, when they had time to read the letters again and think about the words, some worried and some were optimistic, but most felt a little bit of both. The letters, families said, were often the only sure things they could hold on to as they listened to news of bombings, shootings and fatalities. “No knock on the door” Chris Morang, 60, said she’s thankful her grandson, a Hug High graduate also with the 101st Airborne Division, waited until he felt safe enough and was in the right frame of mind to write home. The Sparks woman said she knew he was close to the Baghdad International Airport bombings, so she was happy he wrote when most of it was over and he was safe. Private Anthony Newman, 19, wrote: “I’ve had some scud missile attacks, nothing to be scared of… I’ve been, well, not scared, but it’s been more of an adrenaline rush.” Morang said the letter she received April 4 worried her, but a letter indicating any fear on his part would have upset her even more. Newman’s mother, Trudi Newman, of Henderson, said she’s had little contact with her son the past two months. She said when she received a letter from him in early April, she felt anxiety knowing he was so close to the fighting. “Every time a soldier would be killed in battle, my heart would sink, but then I thought, OK, no knock on the door,” she said. Trudi Newman, 40, is more relaxed now that the intense fighting is over, but she still has every family member and friend call before visiting her. No one knocks on her door without her knowing about it first. Letter on a box On April 17, Reno resident Leslie Burke, 50, received a piece of cardboard, torn off from some sort of box, with no postage whatsoever, but the words “Free Mail” written on it. It was a letter from her son, Cody Burke, 18, a paratrooper with the 173rd Airborne 508th Infantry. She had not heard anything from him since early March. “If I didn’t recognize his handwriting, I’d think it was a joke,” she said. It thrilled her to hear from him. But what he wrote made her even happier. “Right now, I’m happier and more relaxed than I’ve been in a while,” Burke wrote. She said that before the letter she wasn’t sure he was alive. Now she carries the cardboard in her purse wherever she goes. “(I’m) just doing some missions and making money with the biggest, baddest 60-mm mortar section in Iraq. Love you all, Cody.” Finding new words Kellie Roberson’s husband, Bobby is in the 152nd Security Forces Squadron at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. His letters, some in email, revealed a side the 34-year-old Sparks woman had not seen. “He is not a very vocal person, and so the letters mean an awful lot because he says a lot in them that he normally would not say. The war has changed him in that respect, he’s much more open with his feelings,” said Roberson. He wrote: “What do you want to do when I get home? I'm thinking about us taking another vacation to your mom’s. I would love to see them and I think she might like to see me… I got your email attachment, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.” Still waiting Some are still waiting to hear from their loved ones. Reno resident Ellen Wright has not heard from her son, Jarett, 20, who’s with the 3rd Battalion 5th Marine Regiment, since receiving a letter from him Mar. 27 dated three weeks earlier. She thinks she saw a photo of him in the Reno Gazette-Journal, but can’t confirm it. “Every day you go to the mailbox and when you don’t get a letter from him you’re disappointed,” she said. Beverly Tipps, 26, of Hemet, Calif., remembers that month and a half when she never heard from her husband, Staff Sgt. Allen Tipps with the Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines. She said watching the war coverage and not knowing how close he was to it was unnerving and scary. She said hearing about casualties was the worst. “You sit for 24 to 48 hours hoping it’s not your husband. Then time goes by and nobody calls and so you know they’re OK,” she said. Then she saw a photo of him in the Reno Gazette-Journal. She still hadn’t read any of his letters yet, but the photo was good enough. “Just imagining his voice, seeing him there, that he’s doing OK, made me feel better,” she said.

He complained some, but was happy to be there. For Tom Hudson, the letters brought his 18-year-old son closer to him than ever. The two always had a strong bond, he said, but now each had experienced the horrors of combat and the longing for family. “Well, dad, we’re deep into Iraq now, and we’re starting to get into the crap” Thomas Colin Hudson wrote from Iraq, where he is with the 101st Airborne Division. “Dad, you were right, because I am scared to death. I blew you off when you tried to tell me that would happen, but you were right.” Tom Hudson, a Vietnam veteran and retired Army general, said the letter made him proud for his son. “I’m not a really sensitive man. Not many things get to my heart, but that did. It brought tears to my eyes,” said Hudson. The elation was followed by fear. Hudson said he knew what his son had jumped into, and it frightened him. “I was real scared,” said the 56-year-old. His reaction was common among families as they received their first letters from the front. First there was joy, regardless of what was written.

I miss you a lot, I know that you had a close call on Friday. I am glad that you are okay. I still am lighting a lot of candles for you and the other soliders at Saint Thomas More. I took care of Jacenya on Thursday, we had a great time, she played up in her room, and helped me clean the house. She is getting so big, and so smart. She misses you a lot too, and asks us when you can come home again. I hope you get a chance to read this. I love you. Jessica

I just want to let you know how much I (& everyone) miss you, and we're all so proud of you and your friends. I think of you 24/7, and I don't want you to worry too much about me, even though I know how you hate when I say that, I'm doing fine. I look forward to getting another call from you, & I haven't gotten any more of the letters you said you sent:(. Just look forward, as I do, to when you come home, and we can start the beginning of our lives together. I miss having my goofy other half around to make me laugh. I'm going to the Kentucky Derby this weekend to be there for my dad, so you can call me on my cell if you get the chance...wish us luck, hopefully he's on the winner.

We were doing alot of that the last few weeks before you guys deployed.We went to the Asparagus Festival in Stockton this weekend with Myndi and Ilea. Ryan called last saturday he wanted to know if we had heard from you and said to tell he loves you. The news media has dropped Iraq like a hot potato, everyone with loved ones over there is desparate for news and wondering when they can expect them home. Me too. Maybe a battalion of MOM's could clear up some of that mess. Not much to tell we love bunches and hope you'll be home soon. Tell your squad to write their mom's, wives and girlfriends your MOM says so and she's meaner than you. Love Mom

To spec Thomas Hoover: Hello, your mother found this web site earlier today. She gave me the address so that I might be able to get a hold of you. I'm not going to put any personal stuff in here because I don't want anybody else reading it. I miss you! Rheannah is getting so big. she is almost 30 inches long and weighes almost 14 pounds. I'm mad at you becaused you lied to me!! You told me that you weren't going to be deployed anywhere. you promised !! I know that was probaly for security reasons, but you didn't have to promise me that. School started last week. so far weve had 5 tests I got 4-100's and1-97 Im doing good and hopefully the time will just pass right by. and maybe the timing will be close so that when you get back to Italy or maybe here???? that school will be over with And that I pass with a really good grade so if I decide to go to nursing school I'll get in with no problem that way I CAN HAVE SOME OF MY OWN MONEY with out you or your mother getting my ass all the time I have my own ambitions , just like you do with the army and I'm not going to give every thing up for you like I have in the past. so you see some thing are going to change when I move to Italy with Rheannah. missing you Love, your wife Jinnene

I just wanted to say I love you to my boyfriend PVT David Joseph Cross of the 1/508th , 173rd airborne. I am so proud of him and I miss him so much! i just want him to know that I will always be here for him and I will be waiting to hear his voice as soon as he gets back to Italy. I pray to God every day that all the troops are ok and putting their faith in God to bring them through each day. I have heard different rumors that they may be coming home soon? Does anyone know if there is any truth in that? God bless the 173rd and every branch of military. And DJ, i miss you so much as well as your whole family! You mean so much to each and everyone one of us. I thank God every day for bringing you into my life. I truly have been blessed with so much more than I deserve and I hope that we will be together forever! I love you baby! and i miss you sooo much!! love, stephanie

I saw an e-mail on the message board that said you were getting these messages so I'm going to keep writing. I sent another goodie package off Friday--don't know how long it takes to get there but I won't complain if you are already on the way home when the package gets to Iraq. I figure you should make a lot of friends with all the Marlboro Lights coming your way because there is no possible way you can smoke them all yourself. Not much going on around here. It's very warm now--beautiful days. Time to get the camper out. We're going to have a belated Easter this coming Sunday. I think almost everybody is going to make it -- except you of course and Jesse. Well, Adam ole' boy, take care and hope you get home soon. Love, Diane. P.S.

AIRBORNE!!! Sgt Major William' I was given your e-mail address after I sent the following to the seta e-mail address. Being an NCO myself I am aware that that is where one goes when one whats something done and done now. I would appreciate any assistance, forwardances, or directions that you could send my way. I have been informed that so far as he knows, Col. Smith one of the longest termed presidents of our 173rd Airborne Brigade (Sep) Society, that our Sky Soldiers have been blessed by the Lord with no WIA or KIA's. He is also the president at the time that asked for a 'volunteer' to take over as KIA List Coordinator for 'the Herd'. Col Daniels (deceased) had carried this honor. This list was started in Nam and carried home with our colors, and has been and still needs to be updated and researched from Nam. I proudly was appointed to this most honorable duty. Sadly, but, as a part of war unfortunately there will/maybe some in most wars. I pray that a KIA List will or have not had to have been started. If one of our Sky Soldiers should fall I would be sadly honored to offer any assistance and or continue them into our original list. AIRBORNE!!! Sgt David A Watson Charlie 1/503 67-68 Task Force Black (Dak To) 173rd Airborne Brigade (Sep) KIA List Coordinator AIRBORNE!!! Sky Soldiers err-ah!, Stand In the Door! AIRBORNE!!! All the Way! Gung Ho! and as we said in Nam 'Fuckin A'. I am so truly proud of you. My first team leader, SSgt 'Sgt Rock' Jerry Curry, who spent 3 days short of a 4 year tour in Nam and I watch CNN 24/7. We both looked at one another when they announced that Turkey would not let the 'Funny 4th' cross their lands, and said here comes 'the New Herd'. Which by the way you are not known now as, you are 'the Herd'. When we watched your 'combat blast' CNN announced it as the 101st (Puckin' Buzzards) but we knew, the entire 'Herd' here at home did as well. It took a thousand phone calls from all of us to finally get CNN to recant and say that, it was the 'Elite Unit' of the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Sep) that had made that historic jump. AIRBORNE!!! About 600 of us old Sky Soldiers are in contact via the e-mails. And, we are so pissed that all we hear is the 3rd and the Marines. But, some of us feel that there may be a reason for that. You guys may be like Delta and not even 'be'. Most of the troopers here at home would truly love to be there beside you 'watching your backs'. When I went to the enlistment office like so many others, although the enlistment officer wanted the 'credits', they laugh politely and said that it would take a battalion of you all to watch each of our backs. lol They did offer that if it hit our shores that we would be called to volunteer to take over the National Guard duties of protecting our bases and facilities that they are doing such a fine and important job of doing. You should be proud of them. When I went through training at Fort Gordon (Airborne AIT) and at Fort Benning we were constantly reminded that if any soldier, especially a paratrooper did not respect every man and woman of each and every branch and duty while we were in combat then we were fools. Because, we would never survive without the entire support of all branches as one unit. Charlie 1/503, my unit, learned that well on Veterans Day '67 on Hill 889 after 'intentionally surrounding' a brigade of Mr. Charle's finest in one of their best ambushes, that, we knew were there. After all as we were taught. "Paratroopers are dropped into the enemy to distract and draw as much of the enemies forces about themselves. And, Gentlemen once you have done so and the battle is on you will have a 360 degree of kill zone and will have obtained your mission. YOU! Will have them surrounded you enemy." God! I miss not being there with you all. When you became AIRBORNE!!! You are AIRBORNE!!! for the rest of your life. eerah! I have a request. Lol, I know that who ever receives this first is not on the line, in the field and will be able to read this. My request: That as many of the Sky Soldiers as possible, especially those with the least amount of mail, receive this. If Col Yarborough and/or CSM Kilgore were fortunate enough to join you in any capacity that they receive this. As well as Joseph Hartranft and John Ryan, ranks etc. unknown. And as many of the Honor Guard members that attended and represented you all at our reunions. And especially Spec 4 Paul D Nguyen, 1/508 for which I am sending the following letter. As well as the Commander his BN Commander and CO. AIRBORNE!!! Paul, What an honor it was for you to present me with the new field patch and your 'blood wings'. The friend that you left them with, gave them to me the first time that I saw him. He said that you had him and all my friends listening to your story about how you became a Sky Soldier, almost in tears. They were so impressed with your demeanor and how you carried your self. I am so proud of you. If these are your 'blood wings' you must trade me with a pair you purchase. Every Sky Soldier here at home still has theirs as I do. I will stop by and visit your parents. Hope that this finds all of you and your fellow Sky Soldiers in good health and spirits. Hope to see you all at the reunions when possible. For three years a young high school student where I lived in CA would yell AIRBORNE!!! every time he saw me riding my bike around. I always yelled back 'All the Way'. One day I went by a house and he was out front watering the front yard. I did a u-turn and pulled up in front of him. He turned around and yelled hey Airborne. I freaked he was Vietnamese. (Paul, forgive me for that statement, but, you may understand if you have any ill feelings for 'rag heads' or 'skinnies' if you all have a name or are permitted to have a name for 'your' enemy of this particular war.) I talked to him with respect. He went on to tell me proudly that he was a senior and graduating soon, he wanted to go into the service. I told him go into the Army, Go Airborne, become a Ranger and request the 'Herd'. After I left for Tucson he did. Last Thanksgiving, '02, I was here in Anaheim and had just left to go back to Tucson. The next day he proudly marched wearing his dressed greens, a Red Beret into the pizza parlor that I frequented and watched sports with my buddies. Asking for me he was told that I had left and would be back sooner a later. He told my friends about the whole story and how proud that he was. He was leaving over seas the next day. He gave one of my friends a gift to give to me. It is a Herd patch and a set of wings that he said that he jumped with. If they are your 'blood wings', I feel that you should have them back. But, I am sure they are a set you jumped with with the intention of giving to me. Sure hope you were fortunate enough to have made the jump into Irag with the 1/508. I am so Proud of you and all of your Sky Soldier buddies. Tell then not to worry about their loved ones here at home. The remaining and capable 25,000+ 'Sky Soldiers here have their backs and your home land, 'The United States of America'. AIRBORNE!!!

To All the loved ones of the 173rd..... This site is wonderful and the creater is a Hero to me as well. Somehow, Someway, my son PFC Jarod Markham who is with the 2nd/503rd in Kirkuk DID receive an email that I posted on this site several weeks ago. So I suggest keep writing....I don't know how, but his letter to me Saturday stated that he received a piece of paper with an email from me on it...this is the only email site that I have used, so it is definately from this one.... Apparently some of us are finally getting mail...I received 4 on Saturday dating from late March to April 15th. I also received information from a trust worthy source that our 173rd is now receiving mail also...depending on exactly where they are depends on their ability to receive or write....Someone please correct me if the information that I am about to give is wrong, but to my uderstanding the 2nd/503rd is in Kirkuk....the 1st/508th is in Mosul or remains in Irbil near the original airbase they secured in late March....if anyone knows the whereabouts of others, please post.... They do suggest that you mail them stationary and envelopes when mailing them because some of them are writing on card board, etc. My last care packages contained boxes and boxes of writing pads, pens and envelopes that Jarod will be sharing with others.....there mail back to us is free, so no postage stamps are needed... God Bless you all.....and continue to PUSH (pray until something happens).... TO Jarod my son....Thinking of you constantly and praying even more..... Hope all is well, keep your head up, this will be over soon... Love you and miss you much!! Dad

1LT David Bernstein, 2nd platoon, B-company, 1-508th Infantry, Hi Sweetheart, happy anniversary... Today Andrea got a letter from Josh and I was so excited for her. I don't care how slowly mail, if any, gets to me, just as long as you are getting a steady stream of mail. I'd rather have you more rested or in the shade someplace than you worrying about writing. I hope you're getting these messages too. I hate sounding so dumb and on a message board, but I miss you so much. I got out of a speeding ticket :) I will tell you that story another time. Petey and I played tennis for the first time this year, yesterday and we called it ultimate tennis because I'm so horrible that I made him run over two courts. He and I are your biggest fans. I hope SFC Lauer and you are doing alright. I also hope Tom is making you laugh enough. He is great like that. Everyone always asks and says the most awesome things about you. You are such a positive person, I know you are making everyone's time there a little easier. I know you are probably tan, but please take the time to put on sunscreen... your body lasts a lifetime! Happy 23 month anniversary again Davey. I love you w/AMH, Alex

To Spc Bryan J. Kennedy, Dear Bryan, Greetings from Saint Ann School. Your mom told me you had access to email every now and then. I heard you got the other letter that came through the mail. Right now I am in my classroom and a little boy would like to say hello. His name is Eddie and he said his dream is to be a soldier. I thought it would be nice if he talked to a real one. Please tell your companions that the children (along with a lot of other people) pray for you every day. We even have a bulletin board which has a prayer for your return home soon. Did you know you were quoted in the Courier along with your mom? She'll have to tell you about it. Now a word from Eddie. I'll type what he says. "Hi, Bryan. I hope you come home safe. I hope this war will end in peace. Bye. Eddie" Take care, Bryan. Sister Carol

Your Mom has sent a couple of packages and letters and has total faith in you getting in contact with us soon. It is appalling that some of your outfit is getting mail and apparently others are not. Even when I was overseas things were better than this and we didn't have all of today's technology. Remember we are praying for you and all the other boys who are with you. Take care, Dad.

Daniel W. Kucerak II, 173d/2-503d Battle Company. Dan, I don't know if you are getting any of these messages or letters that we have mailed to you, but will keep trying. I just finished writing a message to you and hit the submit button but I don't think it went through, so here goes again. We are all fine and anxiously waiting to hear something from you. Grandpa had a hernia operation last week but is doing great. Doctor said he can do anything except lift anything too heavy. Shawn was home yesterday and went back up to college today. He is doing good. Justin is growing too fast. Just bought him new shoes, size 9. I think he is trying to catch up with you and Shawn. Justin won the Presidential Fitness Award at school last week. They had to do chin-ups, bar dips, long jump, vertical jump, shuttle run, I think that was all. They got points for each event according to how many they could do or how fast they ran. He got 511 points which put him in the 500 club. His name will be engraved on a permanent wooden plaque at the middle school. He almost gave up one day because he had hurt him arm the day before he had to do the chin ups. I told him if you were here you would tell him to stop pissin and moanin and get his -- up there and just do it. I told him to do this one for you and he did 15 chin-ups. The class record was 16. You can't tell that I am proud can you? We went shopping today and bought a bunch of stuff to send to you. I emailed the public relations office in Italy and asked if we could send packages to you yet. Previously they told us the post office was only accepting letters. When I get the okay, we will send packages. We love you and miss you and can't wait to see you. Love MOM

I was encouraged when I read that you had finally received a letter from your son. We have not yet heard from ours. Just wanted you to know that your messages to your son touched someone in Michigan. We also pray for our son (Daniel W. Kucerak II) daily and ALL OF THE 173D AND OTHER TROOPS IN IRAQ. After reading many of the letters on this site, I feel a strange closeness to people I don't even know because we all seem to be going through the same emotional roller coaster and have the same feelings for our loved ones and I can identify and have empathy for each and every family member. The one thing that keeps me going is remembering that whatever the outcome, it is in GOD's hands and prayer in powerful. GOD BLESS THE 173d and all branches of our military. Dawn Kucerak

Who woulda thought that at 4:30 in the morning I would get a call asking me if I would accept a phone call from the mid east. What can I say but that God is faithful, and He does answer prayer. I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well. I miss you so much! And I cannot wait to have you home. Seeing as how is it 5:30 in the morning now, maybe I better get to bed, but I couldn't go back to sleep without saying "thank you" for calling, thank you so much. And I love you, always and forever.

1LT David Bernstein (2nd platoon, B-company, 1-508th infantry), I figured it out, the reason why you don't get these messages-- because the peeps who do this are attached to the 2-503rd... that's what that photographer said in one of his email postings to the site... I sure hope they make some trips to your area... :)

PFC Roberto Sandifer B Co 2/503rd. Roberto, What's the deal with no phone calls or letters. As a military spouse you know I am applaud round about now. It is good to hear that most people are recieving several letters and phone calls from their love ones, but I have yet to hear from my little brother. You know I have been through the waiting game, as a Company Commander's spouse 3 times, along with several deployments. But, I must say that this is a little ridiculous. If you have forgotten my phone number, please look it up on your personal e-mail account. Have you recieved any packages from the Recruiting Bn and mother's school? Hopefully, we will hear from you soon. Remember, your little sister love you very much and miss you. God Bless you.(Tears)

Your Granny told me to remind you that there is a little granny in Bountiful, Utah who loves you. Your stationary was great, but of course the letter wasn't long enough and we can't wait to hear all of the details of your mission to the south and your nothern Iraq experiences. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!! Hopefully you are getting the letters and packages we have sent. Please be safe and don't let your guard down just because the war is settling down.

Raining here in the Sunshine State...headed out to do the task of life (groceries, supplies, etc.) All is well here and back in Tennessee....Margaret is doing fine as well as Mom and Allie....Allie taught McKenzie to give a "high 5 yesterday" which made her day....We are all looking forward to a phone call and for that great message that you are headed back to Italy..... Praying for you constantly and you stated in your letter to keep on doing so....son you don't have to worry, God knows you and all the other soldiers by first name because I'm certain there has been more praying going on in the past several months than ever before.....God is with you and he is with America....George Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Powell, Gen. Franks, and all your leaders are Godly men....as well as Sgt. Gueringer.....(his wife it too much of an angel for him not to be a Godly man) As I wrote to you recently, I discovered that Gen. Franks is an elder in the Church......What better leaders could any soldier have....This war is being logged in the "book of life" as good deads done by all....St. Peter will read them to all some day....What greater deads could you have done than to liberate a depressed nation from the grip of Satan..... I love you and miss you very much....can't wait to see you soon.....God Speed to all the 173rd and their families....God is with them all!! Love you, Dad

We have sent a bunch of letters, but either you don't like to write or I'll have to come over their and give you a 9 1/2, you know where. Just wanted to say that you are missed by many, prayers are being said by many(and these prayers are for all the men and women there), the yellow ribbon is hanging on the tree in the front yard waiting for you to take it down. After reading some of these e-mails that have already been sent to the soldiers, I see that everybody is having a problem getting messages to the 173rd. Will make the next one longer, hopefully this will get to you. Remember to keep them crossed. WE SEND OUR LOVE, I can still remember when not getting mail was a real pain in the Dupa. Love Dad

HAPPY 23 MONTH ANNIVERSARY! (April 28) I am so lucky to have you as my best friend..my boyfriend. I can't thank you enough for being so patient, kind, understanding.. and showing me (a professed selfish, spoiled brat) that my own capacity to love someone else grows daily. I've said it more than once... You exceed everything I thought was perfect... you have more amazing qualities than I can begin to list. Maybe I am not the "brightest star in the sky"... but you definitely make me the happiest. You have helped me in more ways than you will ever realize. Having you in my life is the gift you give me every day. I'm so thankful for you. We rock! I love you with all my heart~ Alex

Everyone here is okay...Margaret is fine too and misssing you....She is the last worry that should be on your mind...she loves you with all her heart and soul..no doubt that she will be my daughter-in-law one day........ Your request for the Z-28 is granted. I will drive it back to Tennessee when you get your leave......maybe you can fly into here or Miami and we can take the trip back together........ Praying for you constantly......you will be receiving so much in the way of snacks, supplies, etc. from home and from here that you will have to get a supply truck to carry it all....everyone here even sent extras for you to share with the soldiers who may not receive anything......hope everything can be used.... God Bless you my son..... Love and miss you much...can't wait to give you a big bear hug and rub your stubby haired head.....(you still are my little boy, but of course you may whip my butt now if I do rub your head..ha...)Hooah.....(Tell Sgt.

To the creater and keeper of this site, thank you and God Bless you!!! You are a hidden saint!!! I can not express my gratitude to you enough!!! To Jarod...son we are constantly praying for you and all the men and women who so proudly wear the uniforms of our armed forces but especially the HEROS of the 173rd!!! As I read several letters today that 2nd graders here wrote to you, a tear came to my eye as they described you as their Hero....No longer does Batman, Superman, Spiderman come to mind to them, but now GI JOE is their Hero....and that is so true....each and every "GI JOE" and "GI JANE" out there is a modern day hero! From the maintenance divisions, support divisions, sailors, pilots, cooks, special forces, and infantry and anyone I may have missed....you are all HEROS!! Jarod I know that you are my HERO and I am so honored to be your father....son, you make me look good, no longer are you "riding on my coat tail" I am now riding yours and damn proud to say so...A big salute and Hooah to you my son, I am so proud!!! Keep your head low, your spirits high, keep praying daily, and you will be home soon.......God has a plan for you..... I love you my son and admire you so much....you and the 173rd have written history.....My thanks to you all....It is my prayer that God keeps each of you safe from harm......Always remember "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!

We just want you to know that WE LOVE YOU and WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU. We all say thank you to YOU and to all the other TROOPS for doing what you've done and what you're doing.

to PFC Hinton, Gavin M 1/508th Alpha 3rd Plt - Wow, a post. Loved it! I saw it early this morning and figure the rest of the guys are probably still asleep so haven't read it yet. Sarah G is putting together a package for you. I imagine you'll get everything at once, but what the heck, have a party and enjoy it with the rest of the guys. We love you more than every and are so proud of you. Hope everything proceeds as planned and you guys get back to post soon. We got a ticket waiting for you. All we need is the word. YOU ARE NUMBER ONE! LOVE YOU.....MISS YOU....but you already know that! Coffee's waiting. ;-)

MATTHEW BADEN- Hey, little bro! It's finally the weekend! Yeah! Sara started t-ball yesterday. She did so good! She said she ran faster than the boys, and they couldn't tag her out! I have been unloading trailers all week at work - I normally sort the boxes after they come out- and my legs are just covered in bruises! I counted almost 30 little bruises just on one thigh! Ty says they are the most disgusting legs he's ever seen and that people will think he beats me! Maddy is still not talking, but she has plenty to say! We got the film developed, so I will try to get some pics into the mail to you. I have been really busy this week. Thank God it's Saturday! Hope you aren't too bored anymore. Just remember- you'll be home soon. And this is the adventure of a lifetime; nothing will ever be like this. Love you, Jodi

SGT JASON HARDING - Hi Jay! I received your letter yesterday and was so happy and relieved to hear from you. Genny also got her e-mail. I am sure I will talk to her this weekend. I have sent alot of packages to you at the old address. But yesterday and today we sent out more (to the new address). I hope they get there soon and maybe you have gotten some of the ones we sent earlier (about 5). We sent all the things you asked for and then some. If you receive any please e-mail Genny if you can. We are going out today to get more supplies to send you. I can't wait to hear from you personally. We watch the news all the time. Tomorrow there is going to be a "Support the Troops" rally in St. Johnsville and of course Bob and I will be there. After all you are a celebrity here and one of St. Johnsville's own. We are proud of you and the job you are doing. We always knew you were a good son, a fine man and an awesome soldier. Keep up the good work and tell the other guys how proud we are of them too. Love and prayers, Mom.

My students are being naughty, as usual. I hope that you have received my letters and care packages. Hopefully they didn't take away your beef jerky. The lady at the post office said that I'm not supposed to send you any meat products. I know that you've been extremely busy. So have I, but probably not like you. I'm going to Las Vegas for Staci and my birthday, which is on May 26. I'll party, drink, and gamble for you, okay? Love always, Traci

We ask Thy Holy blessing to rest upon all paratroopers who are on the path to secure and sustain peace. May we be ready at all times to boldly stand up for thy truth and ways and be steadfastly hooked up to Thy Law and Gospel. May a primary part of our equipment be a confident faith in Thee as we stand in the door of all missions in life. May the canopy of Thy love shield and keep us now and forever.

You and I have had many a late night conversations, and I realize that right now you are living out your dream. People always ask me how you are doing out there, and my only reply is that "he's doing exactly what he wants to do". Your my best bud in the world Mike, and the thing is that no matter what you choose to do in life, I'll be proud of you. It's just that right now I don't think anyone can match how proud I am of you at this moment. My head is shaved for ya, and i'm gonna drink a couple cold ones and wait for the day that you come home and we let our game take over Vegas. C ya soon. Cuff

SGM MIKE CLEMENTS... Hello from Texas! I hope that you have received at least a couple packages from the States. I'm still looking for you on the 173rd web site. Get someone to take your picture, already! I saw Sam, Corey, Jack, and Joey at Easter. They have a little girl cousin on the way! Yep, we are having a girl! (Well, we are either having a girl or having a disgruntled boy.) I'll give Sherry a call this weekend to let her and John River know, too... I read the letters that Sam's class wrote to you. You'll get a kick out of them. I hope to hear from you soon! Love, Cheryl

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR US BACK HERE IN THE U.S. WE ARE DAMN PROUD OF ALL OF YOU. BY THE WAY, THE DIXIE CHICKS ARE ON THE SHIT LIST AND TEXAS WILL NOT PLAY ANY OF THEIR SONGS FOR BAD MOUTHING THE PRESIDENT WHEN THEY WERE ON TOUR IN ENGLAND.

Hi John Doles Just spoke with your Dad he is burning branches and put stakes in for road so Bud Hatfield can come in with gravel for road. The pile he is burning was in the way. He will probably leave OK tomorrow noon and come back to Wichita depending on weather if no wind may burn more of branches. Well not much more to say for now. Take Care Sonja & Your Dad

Dusty "DUCK". . . Hello Honey. How are you? I'm doing okay. School is out in two weeks, so nothing is better than that. Hey, in your email you said you were coming home . . . did that mean Myrtle Beach or Itatly? I really hope it's here. I miss you much Dusty. I have a couple pictures from the wedding that I want to send you, so look for them. Mike and I are doing good, okay that's a lie - we're doing great! Standing with him at the alter when Mandy was getting married but a lot of things in perspective for me (him too I think). Everyone was asking us when the date was for out wedding. That made me feel really great! I love him Dusty, with all my heart. He's like this amazing gift that God sent to me. I spent the whole day with his mom and sister before the wedding and really connected. His mom told me that she was glad that Mike had me and that she was glad that I was in her life too. (That made me that happiest that I have been in a long time. And it helped to clear any doubts that I had). I was getting worried cause I haven't heard from you in along while, so when I recieved your email I was very relieved. Sorry I worry so much - its my nature - but more importantly I love you Dusty and just want you to come home safe. Thank you for all your hard work to keep us safe, I'm so proud of you. Hey got a couple corney jokes for you . . . ready? What do you call a cow with out legs? . . . . GROUND BEEF (HA) What do you call a Nun who likes to take walks? . . . . A ROMAN CATHOLIC. Did you hear about the Polish carpool? . . . . YE! Love, Renee

This is for Josh Blaney, 173rd/1/508/C company, Josh, it's mom again. It's driving me crazy not hearing from you in going on 6 weeks now. I've been told that these emails don't get to ya'll, but I'm sending it anyway. I've also been told you must be in an area where you don't have access to telephones and that's why we haven't heard from you. We haven't gotten any mail either. It's starting to get concerning and irritating. The President has pretty much declared the war over. We don't hear hardly anything on televison about it now and there's not much in the paper either. I know the country is in a mess, but it looks like with all the media coverage they had during the war that we could hear something soon. At least they should notify the families where you are so we will know all is well with you. I'm going to send you a care package Saturday, and I hope you get it. From what I hear ya'll aren't getting your mail--I hope that's not true. If you do get to write, let me know what you need. Are ya'll getting decent food? I really miss you and would love to hear your voice. Sarah and Carley miss you too. Carley's dog, Diamond, is expecting three puppies anytime now. She took her to the vet the other day because she was getting fat and they did an xray and found out she was pregnant with three puppies. Carley's all excited. I hope she can have them, because she is so tiny. Anyway, please write and call if you get the chance. We miss you and love you much! LOVE, MOM

To PFC JAROD MARKHAM..2nd/503rd.... Jarod, Hope this finds you doing well...anxiously awaiting a letter from you.....I realize we must support our USA as I do, and our President as I do....but sometimes the ARMY can be the most unorganized bunch of bozos on the face of this earth....I understand that your unit is one of the last to recieve mail because of a FU that someone did....last info you had received nothing from home and we have received nothing you have sent.....what is so ironic is that many soldiers are home (which is a blessing!) and 1 soldier was being questioned for sending illeagal Iraqi weapons back to his base...excuse me but we can't even get a letter?....someone who has power in the 173rd needs to read this....our soldiers moral is low as well as their families...PLEASE GET OUR SOLDIERS MAIL!!!! Please get them email set up or do something....the media thinks the war is over, we have no contact with our soldiers.....get something done!!!!!!!.....just as the information we have received thus far is always wrong or changed at the last sec.....just wonder sometimes how we can put a man on the moon, win a war in a few days, but can't seem to get mail a few thousand miles away.....DUHHHH....just would not work in corporate America, someone would be looking for a new job.......sorry, son, I'm certain you are more disturbed than I am by not receiving anything yet..... I also understand that you will be surviving your entire stay on MREs....How about General Franks eating MREs for 6 weeks...... Sending you all my love and prayers...sorry your unit seems to be getting the shaft.......and you made History...29th Jump behind enemy lines... Hope to get you back soon to hot showers, good food, and MAIL!!!! Love and miss you much......I am having to read "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" several times today...not a good day....wanting some answers as to why the mess up in the mail and why no "mess hall" set up for you...........just an angry Dad.... Will chat with you later my son...but you are probably not getting these anyway......who knows? Love always, Dad Hooah....God Bless all the 173rd....

I am amazed how you tracked me dow way up here with DiAnna, and Jim. Cesar was mad that he didn't get a chance to talk to his daddy though. He is so proud of you, and misses you so much! I am glad I married such a wonderful man like you, our hero! Cesar tells everyone about his daddy being a Hero:) We're all so proud of you! If dumbass works it right he should be leaving Vicenza as soon as he gets back..which is just fine with me. I've spent many a night listening to Jake and Cory ask me if I was smoking crack, or mainling heroin when I was with "it." They are sooooo happy I stoped riding the white trash bandwagon!! Jake said that going to OSU to get the last year of your chemistry degree would be so easy...he's checked into seeing about transfering to some school out west. Bill is working at some Firm in Oregon, and said he could get me a foot in the door at KU Law if I wanted it. I think Law School is going to a great move! I am looking into getting the imformation gathered for some Law Schools in Ohio though. I will keep my mind open. I love you Babydoll! ```````` Sweet Pea

Hi John Doles Your Dad still in OK working in Chelsea on property. We got Skyler & Chris Monday to help dig for water breaks, found 2or 3 fixed them. Now we have water. Wed to windy to burn branches will try Thurs. then get bulldozer guy out. We got out mortgage papers done and jobs verified yesterday. This is for the construction loan on foundation part. We got a good interest rate so glad to get it before it goes up, It won't go down any lower that is. Your Dad should be back up here in Wichita Sat or Sunday. He needs to get things done down there while has time off. We saw Curtis & family & Skyler & Kodiak boy he is a big boy. Spent Easter with Lee & Jeremy at his Moms house, then visited my Sons family at his wifes Moms home all in Broken Arrow. Had Stacey with us so back to Bixby with her. I drove back up here Tues afternoon had to work. Chris I think got charges dropped for the domestic violence and his DUI may be changed to DWI, doesn't go back to court until August. Still no ID trying to get one Tag agency won't accept his copy of birth certificate. So he can't get a decent job with out proper ID. Well take care Love Sonja & Your Dad

Still working on your scrapbook. Have also saved many newspapers and magazines. Did you get my box of goodies? Talked to Jen this past Sun. She was having the girls over for dinner. She'll be coming home for a visit on May 5th. Not much new here. Shelly, Kim and I are going to work on the nursery this weekend. Carl will be away on a canoe trip, Fred on a fishing trip.

Glenn Bolland {medic} Glenn, I miss you so much! I hear the 173rd might be returning home soon. Recieved your MRE Sat. I loved the contents. I'll cherish this for a long time to come. Still working on your scrapbook. Have also saved many newspapers and magazines. Did you get my box of goodies? Talked to Jen this past Sun. She was having the girls over for dinner. She'll be coming home for a visit on May 5th. Not much new here. Shelly, Kim and I are going to work on the nursery this weekend. Carl will be away on a canoe trip, Fred on a fishing trip. I see alot of Catherine. She is very active in the Boonsboro Support Group. I invited her over after the last meeting to see Shelly and Carl who were dying easter eggs with Donovan. All went well. I'm very pleased about that. I hope you are doing well. Fred bought you your new combat jump wings on the net. I think I'll mail them to Jen. Love YOU Take care of yourself.

Glen Rice....Hey Muck! I talked to the whole crew tonight and everyone says "hi" Chrissie says you might be back by july! That gives us all a ray of hope. Are you receiving any of the packages we are sending? Again... if you have to carry all of it I'm so sorry. It all seemed important at the time :o) I talked to Chrissy and she sounds good. She misses you but we all do that. The kids are getting big and bad. They got new bike helmets for Easter they didn't need all that candy! Sheila is going to try and come home around mother's day, that should really stir the town up! You know how reserved she is. I hope all is going well over there. We are so proud of you! And we miss you terribly. when you got to call it was all everyone could do to wait until 8am to pass the word. I wouldn't have cared if they had called at 2! Take care of yourself and we'll keep sending stuff. I've got a Daffin's bunny here with your name on it! It will still be here when you get back! Love Ya Sandi

Hey ADAM ESPENHOVER - I bet you are getting real sick of hearing from me by now aren't you? I keep writing in hopes that these messages are getting to you. It's pretty frustrating not knowing how things are going with you or being able to communicate in any way other than letters that take weeks to go back and forth. Your letter said you wanted some Copenhagen but when I went to the store last night I found out it's not that simple. I am sending a couple different kinds to you and somehow you will have to let me know what kind is your favorite. Although I am sure you can find someone to share the unwanteds with!! The last couple of days have been really nice but supposed to rain tomorrow and next few days. Getting pretty dreary and windy right now. Well, time to go check out today's paper and see if you made the news. Still searching websites to see your cute little mug but no luck so far. Take care and write to your family when you have a chance. Love, Diane.

BRYAN SCHULTZ: Just another post. Feel like all these posts are somewhere in cyberspace (along with all the letters sent). Found a post from your CSM saying you guys would be getting mail soon. By the time you get it, you'll all have to carry around 25 pounds of letters each. Also got a letter from the Family affairs office of your BG CDR providing info on what company you're assigned to. No info on what platoon. That ltr also says nothing over 13 oz. or packages can be sent. Somewhere there's a helluva pile of baby wipes. By the time you get them you'll have hot running showers, toilets and a room of your own. HA. I guess, just leave the baby wipes with Iraqi moms for their babies; leave the condoms. If they figure out how to use them...it may help control a future reginme population. (no slur intended there...right!) Keep safe. Love, mom and dad.

JJ- I can't wait until you come home. I have so much gossip for you. Things are out of control. I would write you a letter and fill you in but I'm too lazy. If you need anything sent to you let me know and I'll send it. I talk to your mom and try to keep her updated. She's hilarious. B-Co was all over tv right after you guys left. You guys looked great. I'm sure the company store has been making money and you will have one huge party when you get back. I've stocked up on Hoegarden. Hopefully you've had time to work on your rap album, "Down With the Freaky Sh**" I know you were hoping to become a big star and maybe you still will once this is all over. If Eminem can do it.... E-mail me and let me know if you read this. Tell Mel and the rest of the guys hi for me. Things aren't the same without you. Ciao

John B. Pellett Able Co.2/503rd. I am sure I saw your picture guarding the city hall in Kirkirk, but I could not get anyone to believe me. I copied it and to it to Greenville but the printing was not a clear as on the computer. I talked to your folks while we were in Greenville, they were doing well in Memphis. Everybody is anxious to get some word from you. I hope they will hear from you soon. We had fun visiting the Grandparents. Frank and Scott took the kids to the farm for fishing, walking, fire building and general fun. It was too cold to spend the night, but they are going to try again for that. They really want to sleep in the cabin. I suppose you could really tell them a thing or two about "cambing out". We can't wait to hear the details. It looks like we have accomplished our goals over there so maybe you will get a little vacation. Hope it will be soon. Don't forget as soon as you come home we are going to have a really big party. Matt wants it to be during school because I have promised to take him out of school to go to wherever the party is. Well take care and remember we are praying for you and your companies safety. Love you so much, your Aunt Joan and family

Firstable, let me tell you that Mari came and she's spending two weeks with us in FL and mami Coco is here too, but she got sick in PR and I picked her up over there since she wasn't feeling good, she had like a mine stroke and right now she is in the hospital but she's getting better every day. Soon she'll be home againg. She's going to stay with us for ever, since she needs attention and Samuel can't take care of her any more. Anyway, she really need a woman to take care of her, so I've decided to get in charge of her. We all miss you and everybody asking for you, praying for your prompt return.

I've written you three letters but I don't know the number of company where you are, so it will take a lot of time before you get it, but you have to know that I just want to spend my whole life next to you because I love you more than I can say in this small messagge. If you don't come back soon, I will go in Mesopotamia to find you, I still don't know how, but I can assure you I will do because I'm really dying without you, I need you more and more each day and I need to adore you as my God you are. I need all your kisses, all your caresses and all your love (and also I need so much my Airbone). But most of all I miss this wonderfull man that for me is already my husband, I need him more than the air I'm breathing, and that man is you, my only love. I always have your ring in my finger, and I found in your house an identification medal with your name that's always in my neck. There's no one man in this stupid and human world who can takes you away my love, please, trust in my words because they say my most real truth: I will love you for all my life and ther's nobody who merit that love more than you, my God, my Supreme Been, my love.

HEY ADAM ESPENHOVER-1/508th --I'm back to work-it is so beautiful out today--of course all weekend while we were on break it was damp and chilly!! Whine whine..I'm sure to get alot of sympathy from someone who has to put up with your living conditions...sorry!Duane is in the hospital and had surgery but he is doing fine now. I went to Walmart to buy lightbulbs yesterday and came home with a cart load of stuff to send off to you!! We are probably overdoing it with all of the stuff being sent but you can give to others of course. Just wanted to say hi again-love you, miss you, hope to hear from you VERY soon. And I don't carry your letter around like a purse--Diane must of had a high temp and was delusional!!! But the duct tape job and envelope was pretty unique! Heard the 4th Division was heading up north. Will you be rotated out like some of the soldiers down south are now, or is the 173rd there to stay for duration of the humanitarian aid? They aren't reporting much on the news regarding that.I am looking forward to opening up my email someday and seeing your name on mail sent!!! That would be very sweet! Love you always, Mom

She carries the little photo album with her everywhere pointing to your picture & saying DaDa & Daddy. Tara came over to visit & she couldn't believe how much Layla still looks like you. You sounded like you are ready to come home!! We cn't wait till you come home. Your brother said he hopes you can be home by the end of summer because he needs your help putting a deck at his house. I told him i'm sure you'd be happy to help but to remember that when we decide we want to put one in. Hope this gets to you soon. Try to be safe, remeber how much we love & miss you & can't live without you. Talk to you soon. All our love Nicki & Layla

Hi ADAM ESPENHOVER--Been thinking of you even more today. I was sick all weekend and laid in bed--no shower, no shampoo, no toothpaste--and felt absolutely horrible. Then I thought of how you much feel after sleeping in mud and on cement and no shower. That is almost inhumane!!! Yuck!! But you're tough and I'm a wuss right? Your mom read your letter to me and then brought it to me yesterday so I could read it myself. Your little homemade envelope works pretty well. Where she tore the tape off it kinda formed a handle so it looks like a purse now and she can carry it with her wherever she goes! Ash stopped in at the office today for a few minutes. She dyed her hair again so now she is dark with light streaks. I'm sure it will be different the next time I see her. Well, just wanted to say hi and, as usual, hope you are safe and taking care of yourself. And I'm really hoping the webmaster is delivering these messages to you!! Until next time...Love, Diane P.S. I promise Copenhagen to follow soon.

Paul Huser called his mom Friday--she wrote me an email this morning telling me that he had called for a few minutes. I now have your address, so I will send you a care package this week. I don't know what you need, but I will just put a lot of different things in there. I know you could probably use something to clean up with. I have heard that ya'll haven't been able to shower. That has to be horrible for as long as you have been there. I'll send a phone card and maybe you will find a place that you can use it to call home. I hope you can find a phone somewhere to use. I really would like to hear your voice and know that you are ok. Well, we're getting close to May 10th. Eric and I went and got our marriage license Friday. We had Friday off which was nice, but the weekend seemed really short. I didn't talk to Sarah over the weekend. I called yesterday to wish her a happy Easter, but I got her voicemail and I never heard from her. Eddie and the kids came over to get their Easter bunnies yesterday. We went to see Eric's grandson. He's still on oxygen and is very yellow. The poor little thing has had such a hard time. He's about the size Eddie was when he was born now. He's 5 lbs. 8 oz. He's still so tiny. I hope he will be ok. They still don't know if he will be able to hear or see. Carley is doing good. She's sending you a letter this week. I'll try to call Uncle Woody tonight and give him your address and I'll give it to Grandpa too. Lindsey said she was going to send you a care package this week also. I don't know how long it will take you to get it. Well, better go. You take care! Love you much, MOM

Your sister called early this a.m. She tells me that she is still going to be deployed though she does not know exactly when. Maybe she will be close to you and the two of you can look out for each other. There are rumors that you might be coming home soon or not so soon (maybe September). Have your heard anything?

You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. I think God he is taking care of you. We have been scouring the news everyday for anything about the 173rd; there hasn't been hardly anything lately. All I can figure is that you are either in Mosul or Kirkuk. We miss you so much and can't wait to hear from you.

Gina and her family and Scott and his family came over for dinner around 2. Had a nice time. Randy,Nancy,Cole,and Ceith were over at your grandmas for dinner;also your dad. Cole stopped over later to visit with Uncle Ronnie and I. He said he has nine days left of college. The Notre Dame Glee Club is going to Rome to sing for the pope. What an awesome experience. Well, must go to laundromat and get things washed. Have a good day and we are praying for your safe return plus all the men and women over serving their country. thank you all for giving us a great America. God bless!

Message for SGT Will Williams 173rd CSC. Good Morning Hon. This is Easter Monday and suprise! it is going to rain...again! Oh well. Well painted Jamie's room this weekend so when you and Sara come for a visit you will have a nice freshly painted bedroom. Yellow with white trim...pretty. I know, not really a guy color but it look a lot better! You, of course, have been in my thoughts the hold weekend. Ben and I took the motorcyle out Sun for about five hours. Boy! Was my butt tired. You would think as much as I ride Hawk the bike would not bother me, huh??? Go figure. I plan to get your package into the mail today. Hopefully it will follow you back to Vincenza! I will cut this short. I know you have so-o-o-o much mail from Sara. Tell your soldiers the flags are flying high. The POWs have made it home and will begin dealing with their ordeals. I love you, Mom

SSGT. JEREMY BAUM~ Happy Easter! You are going to love all the pictures we are sending you, we threw her birthday party today also, so I am sending too many boxes home! I wish with all my heart that you could be here to share all of this with us, but your name was mentioned so many times I felt as if you were in the room. I know its hard being away so many holidays, but you are doing what you love so much. Phenix got this shirt that made me cry, it's white and on the front it says "one proud kid" and on the back of it it says "my daddy's got your back.... support our soldiers!" My cousin Crystal and her family got it for her. Ok... I am about to print off all the pictures for you, we just wanted to say Happy Easter and let you know that we love you very much, be good and "no free rides"~~~Caryn and Phenix

To Pvt.JOHN PELLETT----Dear John, We are still keeping up with Able Co. through Ken Dilanian. We think you may have received some mail by now, but the packages may be on hold somewhere in APO land. Today is Easter, and Alex is working. Great weather here and the garden looks good. I went to the middle of nowhere in Mississippi to interview an AFS host family yesterday. They have a horse ranch where both parents work 4 days a week, so they can have long weekends with the family. The father likes to travel, the more exotic location, the better. He was in the Army, and that probably has something to do with his wanderlust. Each week that goes by has GOT to be one week closer to your R & R in some lovely place that is not in chaos. We love you and will see when you are receiving visitors, or when you can get to Memphis, whichever comes first. Love from all 3 of us, Mom, Dad and Alex

Chuck and Ashley had fun playing, she liked jumping on his stomach and laughing. Jessica and I had a good visit and she really appreciated us coming. We only stayed about two hours, but it was nice. I left a disposable camera with her, after I had pictures taken of me and Jessica with the kids. The kids enjoyed playing with our dog, Lady. You have a wonderful family.

To Roberto C. Sandifer, B Co 2/503rd. Happy Easter Dusty!! All is well on the homefront. We are doing the usual routine on this Easter morning: sunrise service, visit grandmother and then off to breakfast. One thing we miss is you showing up late for breakfast (you know what that mean)and missing out on a good meal. Thanks for e-mailing mother and daddy. She has printed off five copies of that e-mail and you know by now everybody and town has a copy of it. One thing that puzzles me?? In the e-mail you said that everybody was okay (I am happy for you and your Bde), but you had a lot of misspelled words, which leads to two things. Either someone wrote it on your behalf or the war has deteriorated your brain(smile). We know both are strong possiblities, so please clearify your point. In short it means give us a call or e-mail us again with something only we will wknow about. The question is what was the last vehicle you totalled? We mailed serveral packages to you, please share them with your friends. "Of the troops for the troops"

Sgt Ben Keener, C/1-508th. Hey babe just talked to Erin. She said Jaime just called home and that you had just arrived. Hope you'll get to spend a little time catching up. Erin sounds great. Talking to her really does make me feel better. I guess the mail is pretty slow. Watching the POWs arrive in Texas right now. I just don't have the words to express how happy I am for them and their families.There are guys hanging out of the top of the plane with a large American flag as it taxis to a stop. Quite a picture. I love you, keep your head down and be careful. What a way to spend Easter... We love you MOM & Clay

This message is for Sgt. Robert J. Anderson, 173rd, 2/503rd. Hi there son. We've been thinking about you constantly and wondering exactly where you are. It would sure be nice to hear your voice or to at least hear from you. I try to keep up on what's going on through this website. I look at the pictures all the time to see if I see you in one. At work, they are putting up a board in the lobby of City Hall with pictures and a brief narrative of troops of employees of the City and residents of SB who are serving over there. Mexico Restaurant also has a couple boards with the same. I submitted a picture and narrative of you and one of the attorney's whose son is over there did the same. The Clerk's office is sending a copy of the pictures over to the Mexico, so you will be in both places. I just wanted to make sure you were recognized in some way. Everyone at work says hi and they thank you all for what you are doing. Wish you were here for Easter. We miss you so very much. Just wanted to write you a short note and tell you we LOVE YOU and MISS YOU. HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER. Please know that you are always in our thoughts, our prayers and in our hearts, along with all the other wonderful, brave troops. We are so very proud of all of you. Please be safe and hurry home. All our love, hugs and kisses, Mom and Joe

Dearest Jon: Happy Easter and Happy Patriot's Day. Two years ago, at this time, you were gearing up to do one of the most difficult things you had ever faced- The Boston Marathon. Remember? That must seem like thousands of miles and years away. But I can still remember (with tears even now) how thrilled, how moved, how inspired Dad and I were as you took those heartbreak hills with a vengeance! And I shouted as you ran past to look at the rest of the race as of there's only one 10K race ahead of you. I pray you have just one more 10K to go. Draw on that experience now. Remember how dog tired you were but you made it. What a feat, what an accomplishment. It was all you....With Love and Pride......MOM

SGT. JOEL BEDNAR. Hey since this is a family affair now I wanted to get my word in too! For being an Insurance salesman Cory is a lot more wordier than me the guy with the English Degree now isn't he! I'm still waiting on that war loot! I told Cory that you are a good guy. Much better than that other thing she brought home! I have no idea what kind of drugs she was on when she thought that was a good idea. We hated him from the minute we met him. We did over protect Wendy, and maybe that first one was our fault. we never let her date anyone we didn't approve of. Then she goes off to the Army where we couldn't watch over her choices and choose what ever that was! Welcome to the family my man. We're disfunctional, but we're one hell of a great bunch of people to know. Hey heard you weren't getting mail for a while, so my dad is friends with a general in the pentagon who in charge of Logistics. He called him, and he returned saying you would get some soon now if he had to fly the damn plane himself. Keep the faith. You watch your back, and we'll watch your girl! If you need anymore let us know! I'm like Klinger, I can get you anything, anywhere!

JOEL BEDNAR (Wendy's husband). Wendy just let me on here. Megan and I want to tell you how proud we are to have you join our "Family." When you married Wendy, you married us. We are also proud of the job you and your fellow soldiers are doing down there. I did read what your wife just wrote and I don't think the people of Iraq would know what to do with her. She's always been this way, ever since we were small children! What would they do with an educated woman with her spunk and drive! She'd be deported in hours of her arrival I'm willing to wager. She is doing well here at home, so no need to worry about her or your son. We are very happy to take care of them, and spend time with our godson. He is a boy's boy for certain! Megan now thinks we should consider having children after spending the day with Cesar. Thanks man! Now look where you have me! When can we expect another god child from you and Wendy? I hope you come home as soon as possible. I can see the happiness in Wendy's eyes when she talks about you, so I know you're a good man. Take care of my best friend, because Jake and I love her a lot! She probably already told you that we've all been friends since "Sperm" as we've always put it. So she means the world to us, as I am sure she does to you! Good Luck, Cory & Megan Seaton

SGT. JOEL BEDNAR, Hey babydoll! Well, I saw your photo on the site today:) It was so good to see that you're looking well. I couldn't mistake those cheeks, and that adorable nose anywhere!!! I printed off a few copies..one for Cesar since he was very happy to see daddy in uniform and of course with your SAW! You know that child, and weapons. Anyhow...You're an UNCLE today:) DiAnna had Jacob Joseph Olson at 0912 this morning! He's 7 lbs. 11 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long. He is adorable. Other than that I have found my calling in life! I read an article where a solider in Baghdad interviened in a man beating a woman on the street. when he was told that it was ok that the woman was the man's property..the soldier made my day! He explained that "NO! not any more...you're laws are gone along with your regiem...our laws stand here now. which means you cannot beat a woman, not in my sight and get away with it! This is Martial law, and I AM the LAW!" Soooo I've decided that I will start a Women's Outreach Program! With my militray training and background I will teach those women to reach right out and throw those men a beating if they lay a hand on them!! To top it off after law school I will be more than rich as I become a divorce lawyer down there! Afterall isn't democracy great! I will make sure to leave those guys with as much as I left Spc. Meza with...their underwear! See if they like hitting women then:) Jake still thinks I'd be happier as a Mercenary, but agrees there's less legal hang-up's with this calling:) I love you whole buchies babydoll!~~~~~Princess PS. I liked what one of the parents on here told thier son.."Stay away from those who use bad language, and read those 'girlie" magazines:)", but I know that would leave you with no one to associate with!! To include yourself!

Hi ADAM ESPENHOVER. I don't know if you are getting these messages but I'm sure not going to take the chance that they are delivering messages to all you guys and you will be without one for the day. Talked to your mom today and she was thrilled because she got your letter. I sent a package off to you today as well now that it appears the mail service is up and running between here and there. We are not doing a family Easter this Sunday--waiting until May 4 when Pam returns from Miami. Will be going to Storm Lake for brunch at the college I guess. Scott and I are going to Des Moines with his family. I had a cute little Easter card with a pair of bunnies (wink, wink) that I was going to send to you in your package but found it still on my desk when I got back from the post office. Well, better not take up all the space on this board. Will send you a real letter one of these days. I know, I've said that before but I really will sometime. Take care and stay safe. Love you, Diane.

The good news is that everything is OK here. Weather's fine.Going to B'ville for Easter:Leg od Lamb & all the trimmings but I imagine that you can get all the lamb or mutton you want in Iraq. Now the bad news! Felicia is to be married on June 22nd.She said that her heart was saved for you but since she had not heard from you in over 10 years she figured that it was all over between the two of you and that her biological clock is clicking off the hours. I told her that you have been busy but she didn't think that anyone could be THAT BUSY! At any rate, you still have two months to make it back and show up at the church and when the preacher asks is there anyone who objects to these two to be wed in Holy Matrimony you can jump up & say, "I Do"! Afterall, those are the only words she has wanted to hear from you! We hope that otherwise all is well with you. Your mother has been on the horn to the Chief of Staff to tell him that you like a hot breakfast every morning and a hot shower every night and for him to tell you the next time he talks to you to be sure that you change your socks every day as that is what Van Johnson did in "Battleground" and he was still alive at the end of the movie! She also told him to tell you not to associate with anyone who uses bad language or reads those "girlie" magazines. Well, between you & me it sounds like you will be friendless were you to take those admonitions too seriously. Oh Yes, Happy Easter! Dad

Message for SGT Will Williams, 173rd, CSC. Hey Sweetie. Well it is Easter, Good Friday. My boss will give us off at noon. Kinda nice, This is a makeup day for me. I did not have enough leave for Pa's funeral so I traded one of my Fridays off. Just happens to be today. I have your voice on my answering machine from when you called to say bye, so I listen when I really miss you! Sara has today and Monday off. Love you, ya know? You and all the Wolverines, and the rest of the Sky Soldiers, are in my prayers. I know you guys are making the best of a bad situation, but still miss the comforts of home. I remember my days with REFORGER (REturn of FORces to GERmany). Especially with the porta potties (you should be so lucky) and the two inches of frozen urine on the seat, and trying to monuver my NBC suit to between me and the seat so I could us the thing. AH-H-H the good ol days! Or being in the BOX and trying to wash my hair in my "steel pot", or being one of the women in the tent and the respect the guys gave us for our privacy when we needed it. You guys will remember these days, no matter how tough or uncomfortable they are, with smiles and warm fuzzies in the future. I know the soldiers have received good training, and it will kick in when needed. I have never seen actual war, but I have trained and used that training in mock wars as you guys. Team work does work and you will make the team work. I am so proud of all of you. This is getting too long, better go. I love you very much. I am SO proud of you. You have met, jumped and stumbled over life's hurddles. Look at you now...you shine! All my love to my son, "Lead By Example" Mom.

Fred and Gail just returned from a wonderful trip to Florence to visit David. Lovely spring -- and now we are tearing up the house again -- doing the kitchen over -- just for YOU! David counts on your being back in time for a trip to see Manchester United play in Seattle -- all the "guys" are flying down for it. John Oliver broke his back last weekend at Alyeska -- coaching Bartlett, but won't be able to for a while -- he was ski racing with Chad snowboarding -- they won the race, but he lost basically in that he fell ass-over-teakettle. Love you, my son -- pray for you, think of you, dream of you constantly. Ma

So if a C-130 Loadmaster by the name of SSG. Don Rowland comes by your neck of the country...say hello:) I told him to grab some babywipes and stuff to take with him if he does go your way, so he may arrive with goodies:) I really pray for all of your saftey and quick return. I cannot afford to lose one more friend like this. Bobby was too young, and I know Don is feeling his mortality...I just wish he'd more positive! I guess lossing so many of our friends makes you kinda gun shy. Do me a favor and if you do see Don let him know how missed, and loved he is by all of his friends, and if we had a full address for him we'd send him packages too! He only left us the APO AE and the zip, but he is not with his squadron...tell him we need a full address! Also that Joyce and her children miss thier Uncle Don-don too:) I love you so much Babydoll! You guys have to come home...I realized the other day that almost everyone I know is deployed. Those of us back here are bored without you all:) WHOLE BUNCHIES BABYDOLL ----- Princess (Sweet Pea)

PAUL GONZOPOLIS!!! THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME!!! Things are going well up in AK, it is staying light out a lot longer and it is getting warmer. Dimond soccer is doing well, 2-0. Dave said it is going to be a rebuilding year...but they are doing well. We need to go and get some Wendy's and watch the game vs Service tonight! All the ladies, Kara, Renee, Justina, Nicole, Jane, Nicky, Sara, Megan, Amy, Cindi, Kennasue, Erin...all send their best.

This is for PFC Joshua C. Blaney,508/173rd -- Hey Josh, it's mom again. Just want you to know I think about you all the time and I look at all the pictures posted on the 173rd link looking for you, but have not seen you yet. I still haven't had a call or letter from you. I hope we'll hear from you soon. We all miss you so much and are so proud of you and all the soldiers. Ya'll all have done such a great job over there. I hope you are safe and able to get some sleep. The weather here has been so nice--all the spring flowers are blooming. Just wish you were here. I hope you got my Easter card. I want to send you a care package, but I need to know what company you are in. I'm not sure, but I think it's C Company, but I don't want to send it without knowing for sure. I hope you've gotten my emails. I've been sending one just about everyday. Several other mothers have emailed me too. It's nice having a little support group of ladies that are going through the same thing with their loved ones. The wedding is only 3 wks away--it's hard to believe it's almost here. I just wish you could be here, but as soon as you get back to Italy I will send you a video of it. We already have about 125 people coming and still have 75-100 more that haven't responded yet. It should be fun. I hope you are getting some rest and I hope you are feeling ok. Please take care of yourself and know that we all love you very much and miss you. Carley has a letter to send you as soon as we get a definite address. Take care, son. Maybe you all will be home soon. Love you bunches, MOM PS HAPPY EASTER!

Hi John Doles Saw some more pictures on web site none of you. Hope you are doing OK. I told you we are going to OK this weekend. Your Dad got a special rate with ATT on overseas calls so we can call Italy at least once a month to check on Heather & kids and her news. You Dad bought a 20ft trailer for when we do work at shop after retiring, he plans on making a box to slide on to take to air shows & sell stuff. This weekend we will load my car on it with tiedowns and see how it does. Then we will store in Claremore near Racenes area. It is supposed to rain Friday & Sat but clear up Sunday. So I guess our digging the hole to find leak will wait until Monday. The redbud trees are blooming now and the crab apples look nice. Spiffie is healing up from her surgery for kidney stones vet said she look good now. She gave him a scare for few days. Kim,Lee & rest say hi from Bixby, OK. Well Take Care Love Sonja & your Dad

I wonder if you need brown t-shirts, socks or something because laundry is so hard to do. I wish I could talk personally with someone over there to find out. The 173rd webpage said you would get mail today. I had a dream I got to talk to you on the phone. I woke up so happy. You are so wonderful. I saved the message you left and I can't thank you enough for it. You are the best platoon leader ever and I can tell by the message you care about those guys a lot. I'm sort of jealous that they get to be around you so much. I fixed my computer all by myself :)! It works faster and makes no noise! I was at the hospital all night yesterday (Liz broke her hip :( Nothing else is new... I'm still not making plans for summer because I'll see what you are doing... :) Hey, Ahuv (first day of Pesach) ;) -Alex

As he was >sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his >bunk. > >Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why aren't you with the rest of >the platoon?" > >The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with >the Lord." > >The sergeant said, "Looks like you're going to play cards." > >The soldier said, "No sir, you see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or >other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by >studying this deck of cards." > >The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?" > >"You see the Ace, Sergeant, it reminds that there is only one God. > >The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments. > >The Three represents the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. > >The Four stands for the Four Apostles: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. > >The Five is for the five virgins that were ten but only five of them were >glorified. > >The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth. > >The Seven is for the day God rested after working the six days. > >The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their >wives, in which God saved the eight people from the flood that destroyed the >earth for the first time. > >The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy. He cleansed ten but >nine never thanked Him. > >The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on >tablets made of stone. > >The Jack is a reminder of Satan. One of God's first angels, but he got kicked >out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal >hell. > >The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary. > >The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings. > >When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for >every day of the year. > >There are a total of 52 cards in a deck, each is a week, 52 weeks in a year. > >The four suits represents the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. > >Each suit has thirteen cards, there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter. > >So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old >deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for." > >The sergeant just stood there and after a minute, with tears in his eyes and >pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?" > >--Originator Unknown > I thought this was cool, hope you enjoy it too. Stay strong and look out for a couple of packages sent from various people. This weekend is also Mom's recognition celebration @ NAU, but not graduation yet. That'll be until May 09. So we'll be over there. Other then that alls well. Hvae you heard from Gabbie yet? Well take care, you are always in our prayers and thoughts...miss you....Love, Sis. Bea > >

SGT. JOEL BEDNAR, HHC.....BABYDOLL! I wanted to tell you some good news...I got a letter from a publishing house who wants to print a few of my poems. I then went to see one of my old profressors at KU about PFC Brandon Arid...your PAO photographer. He likes his works too. OK Back to the poems:) When I arrived here Jake and I were talking about all the talent we "used to have, " and how we were feeling old! He gave me some places to submit my words to, and I recieved a letter today:) Remember when I told you that every creative person needs a MUSE, and that you were mine...I was right! I called Jake and told him, and he laughed that I hadn't done one creative thing the whole time I was with Meza, and how he was like artistic kryptonite:) He said I should tell you also that the poems were ones I had written for you babydoll! It feels weird that now everyone will be able to read my sappy love thoughts about you. I still don't know about that!! Our love is so real, and deep that I don't know if I want to parade my private thoughts of you in public. Jake said we should use any monies gained to buy our house. You know him..always tries to put capitalisim in there somewhere:) Well, that's all for now Sweetie. I love you WHOLE BUNCHIES BABYDOLL!=====Joel's Princess (Sweet Pea)

PFC BRANDON ARID, PAO....Brandon, You don't know me, but my husband is Sgt. Joel Bednar, HHC. I have been looking at the photos you've taken, and wanted to let you know that the talent you've displayed is tremendous! I took a small sample to an old photo journalism professor of mine from college. He thinks you should really consider publishing an anthology of photos from your time in Iraq. It's been years since I've seen talent like yours with a camera..most people don't understand that it takes a "natural eye" to produce the images that last a lifetime! Anyone can take a snap shot...you have an eye that sees beyond the surface. Mark has several publishing friends, and if you'd like I could see if there is an avenue for you to pursue. I don't know how much traing you've had in the area, but you sure shoot like a pro!! From one artist to another... GREAT WORK!!! I just wanted to let you know that...I hate letting talent go unappriciated:) I really enjoy your work, and keep it up! I still enjoy your work even if I haven't seen a pic of my husband amoungst the peices..hehehe! J/K! ---Wendy K. Damman-Bednar

Hi Zach, I was so glad to get your phone call yesterday! I could'nt believe it was really you. I have to confess that after we hung up I had to run down the hall to the restroom and have a good cry. All my co-workers knew something was up. I said tears of joy to finally hear from you, and sad to have to hang up. I did call Alice and she was so glad that I heard from you. She said she could go to sleep now and not worry. I have been seeing some of your buddies getting e-mail, like Jason Bateman, Paul Huser and some others. Son, I miss you like crazy, I am so proud of you, and I always keep you and all your buddies in my prayers. You will all be just fine! I love you bunches and bunches!!!!!!!!!!!!Love, Mom

Hello from Southern California...with rain predicted during our Easter Break! This a message for PFC BRIAN J. CORBITT 2/B/1-508 Infantry of the 173rd. We have carefully planned out sending packages with hopes you will receive one, once a week for the past 3 weeks. Unfortunately, you will now be bombarded with packages arriving at one time...like tomorrow. Geez, don't know what you are going to do with the coalition of American and British products, of Altoids mints, Girl Scout cookies,and Easter candy. The post office worker said more packages are being sent during this war. I do see many proud parents, family members and friends sending packages off to Iraq. Hope all is well with you, Brian, and all of your fellow soldiers. You are in our thoughts daily and know you will return with interesting stories and life experiences. Take care...and be safe..

I like that you can just type in your name and do a search now for all of your messages...Gee, whoever suggested that idea must be a genius!! :) I showed my 5th graders the pictures on this website today--the boys of course think you are all so awesome jumping out of planes and all, they were drinking it up--the girls think you are all so brave and all that...yadee,yadee, yadee...men in uniforms always melt the girls hearts! Then the boys went back to their desks and started drawing planes and paratroopers with 173rd Airborne Brigade ROCKS on the parachute! TO funny! Seriously tho, we all here think the 173rd is awesome and very brave. Sent another letter off to you-but better yet would be getting a letter from you!! Hope to see one soon.Sent your new field address off to the family with the news you called last Friday telling your dad you are "hanging out with the Kurds, keeping the peace." We pray you are doing well,take care of yourself. Call, email, write. Send a homing pigeon. Just keep in touch however you can!! Love you lots, Mom

You are awesome!! I have 100 letters from my students that I am sending your way. Pass them around, so everyone knows what strong support you have back home. The letters speak straight from their 12 year- old hearts- honest and very touching (and laced with humor, as you will see). You also have a number of care packages coming your way- with plenty to share. I am sending one every couple days. And, You will probably get 15 at once, I understand that there is quite a mail back-up. I am SO sorry that we missed your call. We all want so much to talk to you! Please try to call again very soon!

1LT David Bernstein (2nd pltn, B-company, 1-508 Infantry) I'm so sorry I missed your call. I went out on a long run and I had no idea you would call me. I guess after you called your parents I didn't expect you to be able to make another call. It was wonderful to hear your voice, but I was so sad I wasn't there to receive your call. I feel so selfish and horrible :( I hope you are getting these messages. I guess you are leaving for another 10 days. You sound exhausted.. but the sound of your voice made my day, week, month. I know you probably waited so long to make that call and I can't believe you thought of me. I'm so sorry :( I wasn't there. I feel like a failure. not to be melodramatic, but geez...I am horrible! You are perfect and keep being a great PL. You are the best (Sec Army told me that one :P haha) from now on I'm going to think of workouts I can do in my room...I love you David.

I think because she was happy to know you were ok and because she didn't get to talk to you. I don't think there is one person I know who I didn't tell about you calling. I even called and woke up Alan to tell him. haha I sure hope you get your mail soon. I love you sooooooooooooo much!!!! Be safe hunny! Love always and forever, Rach

School is just dragging on and on and on. Tell Pino that I still have the scar he gave me. Tell Bateman that I won't get mean when we have a couple for old times sake. Your mom had a really long break from work. She put up a flag pole and ordered buttons with your picture on them. I have mine on my purse so you can go with me wherever I do. I wear a little red, white, blue,and yellow pin grandma made for me. A lot of people ask if I have someone overseas and I say "yes, my husband". I love you but have to go. I will write you later today. Love you like the flowers love the sun. Molly

"THE STAND" I read in the news, how you made a stand, you marched in the streets of our country's land, trying to say who is wrong or right, telling our country they should not fight; Marching against Marines, like me, here, defending the rights you hold so dear, assuming I love to kill and maim, acting like this is some sort of game; You call yourselves experts on what we should do, on September eleventh, where were you, while thousands of Americans suffered and died, are you trying to say this is something you can abide? Were you at the funerals as they lowered the caskets, maybe you should remove your rose colored glasses? I so, want to feel the comforts of my home, where recently I left! my family alone, yet I'll do my duty in this far off land, so you can march on Washington and make your stand; Do not despise me for what I do, because truth be known, I do it for you, to hopefully free you from terror's arm, so you can have your freedoms, free from harm; What is the price, for the life you live? What is the payment you have to give? Is it starring in a movie, or singing a good song, that has kept you free for all this long? It is men like me, and others too, doing what our country calls us to do, sailing the seas to this far off land, while you stay at home and make your stand; I am not bitter, this is the life I choose, So the rights you express so freely, you will not lose, You may not support me for what I do, But you need to know, I do it for you; When this is over, when we are through, I would rather you just say, thank you, for giving you, the time you had, to march in our streets and make your stand. © 2003 Billy F Dial all rights reserved Used by permission from Billy F Dial 3/25/03

Sounds like Phoenix and Karyn are busy at Grandmas house and having a good time. Rich called last weekend and said to say "hi" and they think of you often. He's on the "hot shot" fire force right now for 6 months fighting to real major fires in the United States. He'll get home(Washington) in the end of September. Anyway, we are sending all of our love and prayers to you, and hope to here from you soon. Love Uncle Fran and Aunt Di

I hope all is well over there and you are safe. I know there are still some small battles going on, so please be careful. I hope you are able to get some rest. Where do you sleep? In a tent? Please let us hear from you as soon as you can. Uncle Woody called and we talked last night--he's really concerned about you too. He said to let him know as soon as I hear from you. He wants to send you something too. I'm inviting him to the wedding too. I haven't seen him in a long time and it will be nice to see him and Stephanie.

Hi SGT Thomas Williams, I'm a friend of your Mom's and Ben and I thought that you could use some encouragement while your there in Iraq. I pray that you return safely to Italy and back to the US soon. I'm glad to hear that your spirits are raised because your beginning to see more of the action. I don't know if I would want to be in your shoes, but I applaud you. If you get a chance when you return I want you to listen to this song by R.Kelly (I'm not sure if you like the guy), but listen to the song it's called "A Soldiers Heart". You guys are all the epitome of this song and I hope that each and everyone of you will be able to appreciate it when you return to your respective duty stations. Your hard work and dedication to the 173rd Airborne Division will be a rewarding experience for you and your family, I trust that God will bring you back to them safely and in one peace. Good Luck and I look forward to being at your coming home party! Courtney L. Whyms

James, Toby, and a guy people call Babbo and I took our last APFT here today together. I was James' partner and he was surprised a girl could hold his feet. (He is engaged now BTW)It was so funny cause he made me actually practice holding them 3 times before we did sit ups. Classes are going by quickly. Things are starting to get busy helping to organize the Orange County Special Olympics. 46 days till graduation with too much stuff to do in too little time. I look at this website every day just hoping to see a picture of you or your platoon. I know you are working hard... instead of writing me, take a nap and rest a little bit. I am so worried you are forgetting to eat or sleep. You are the best PL..! just don't forget you are human sometimes. I'm proud of you. I Love You w/ amh, Alex

Yo Bro, pakages are on the way. Although, if it takes as long as it did for the drum to get to you, you'll be shit out of luck,the war will be officially over and you may even be retired!! The schools did a collection for care packages and I had ours sent through them. The two boxes are the same,share if someone hasn't gotten anything.We'll get together another one soon, maybe you'll be able to let us know of any special requests for you and /or your comrades.I wish we could package a full course Easter dinner for you, I guess Jean's cooking would taste good about now, shit, mine might even be pretty tasty,huh? Your knucklehead brother-in-law sliced his thumb with a utility knife last Sun. I had to take him to ER , ended up with 8 stitches and almost 2 weeks off from golf. He his miserable ,but he can still ride the FAT BOY. The girls are doing O.K.,although Samantha got some sort of virus, will probably end up at the Dr. I'm busy running around like a nut, I thought housewives were supposed to work in the house?!Well soon time for bed although since the war started, I get the girls settled then go on the computer while listening to CNN and end up in bed late anyway.Everyone sends their love. With love and support, The Smith's P.S.- I accept collect phone calls!

Another message for my son, PFC BRANDON ALTEMUELLER. I am kicking myself that I missed your phone call this morning. Was it really 7:00am my time? I was here....but may have had the shower running or using my blow dryer. There is a 9 hour difference between us now (I think). I was here until around 8:15am, then left....darn!! I wish I could have talked with you. I have mailed you a care package every week. I know mail is slow, but you should start getting them sooner or later. I started including disposable cameras 2 packages ago. There are a total of 4 on the way to you. It is just taking a long time to get there, but that is to be expected. I just put 2 more cameras in the mail today. Take lots of pictures. I see on the news, pictures/video of the Iraqi people and the Kurdish people celebrating and dancing in the streets. It is heartbreaking to see how impoverished they have lived for so long. There is enough oil coming out of that country for all of them to be millionaires.....what a shame..... I read a story about the 173rd that said the Kurds lined the streets of Irbil as you guys were leaving and gave the soldiers a "ticker tape parade" of sorts. It brought tears to my eyes.....I am proud that you were one of the heroes that helped save them. You are making a difference.....giving something back and making the world a better place. I hope I am here next time you call. I love you, and I am proud of you. Stay safe.....and come home soon.....we have that heroes welcome home party and will need an honored guest. Love, Mom :-)

If you are getting mail, you should get a care package from us and one from Erica and one from some friends of mine that knew you were there. Also letters. Mom and Erica have been in touch with Sara a few times, and we are looking forward to meeting her. Hope they bring your outfit back to Vicenza soon for a break. We have yellow ribbons around the trees in the front yard, and they can't come off until you get back to your base. Oh yeah, sorry you missed the Mardi Gras Ball - I will send you a video after you get home. Praying for you and the rest of the troops, Dad

I saw Sarah at the mall today. I went at lunchtime and she was there with her girlfriend and the girl's boyfriend. Sarah had her hair cut and it looks really cute. It just touches her shoulders. She's out on spring break this week. This is the week ya'll meet wasn't it. I hope I hear something from you by this weekend. Hope all is well over there and you are in a safe place. Can't wait to talk to you and hopefully see you soon. Take care. We all love you and are praying for you daily. Love, MOM

I'm glad you had the opportunity to call and chat with her, even if it was short'n sweet. We are so proud of you -- you are our own special hero! The Austin American-Statesman called last week to get info about you -- it should be interesting to see if your photo shows up in the paper eventually. Be careful, be vigilant, be safe! In other words, keep that bean and butt of yours out of harm's way! Much love, Mom :-D PS: I hope your mail will catch up with you soon!!!!!

I hope you get my cards, and packages soon...they're filled with tons of great stuff! Cesar misses you so much, he prays for you everynight. He always asks "When I wake up will my daddy be home..like Christmas?" I wish it were that easy! He did mention dumbass the other day, but it brought a smile to my face when he did...he said "Big Cesar can stay in Iraq mommy...I will trade him for my daddy. Can I trade?" I couldn't help but smile! As they say "From the mouths of babes..." He is learning to ride horses very well. He is still hesitant to rock, but does well at posting. Although Autumn is doing very well at all of the tasks given her. She received two 3rd, and two 4th place ribbions in her horse show! Cesar will be to big of a child to teach jumping to, so we'll stick with the basics:) As for you my love, I just can't wait to see that addorable face, and look into those beautiful eyes that speak my name! I am so happy I married the most wonderful man in the world! Hurry home to my arms! Soon all this will be over, and we can build our own world away from the Army.

To all the soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. Greetings from Tennessee! I wanted to give a SHOUT out to the 501st Forward Support Company, especially my fellow MEDICS! Y'all are the best, and once again have proved it. SSG Nesmith, thanks for everything. You are one of the best NCO's a soldier could have, and you prove it time and time again. If I could name everyone, I would, because everyone deserves recognition. Seeing as how the photos don't include the support companies, and we all know they couldn't do much without you. The soldiers of 173rd Combat Support Company, under CPT Walters. (GREAT PICTURE!) Especially SPC Cesareo Meza, my hero. You are the BEST man I know, and I wish you all the best. D/319, awesome 1SG and great medics, Ferrin and Barreca. You are all on my mind and in my prayers constantly! Take care, and come home safe!

SPC Todd Noland 1/508 173 ABN BDE--Hey Todd, its me again. Your wonderful sister. I haven't posted a message in a couple of days so I thought I had better do so. Not much else goes on here except waiting to hear from you and watching the news. Are you able to call? The news reports say that the mail hasn't got to you all over there and that you haven't been able to receive packages. Well when you get your mail expect lots because I know of at least six packages that were sent in the past two weeks. Lots of food and other goodies that you should be able to use. I have a package in my car ready to send and mom packed up another yesterday. We love and miss you terribly and can't wait to hear from you. Need to know that you are OK. Take care of your self and watch your back. MISS YA and Waiting to here from you.--Lisa :) :)

To 1LT David Bernstein, I was really happy/relieved when your mom told me you were fine. I know you are probably working extremely hard and not getting enough sleep. It would be the greatest present to use the time instead of writing me, to sleep instead. We are always fine and I will see you as soon as this situation allows (I will plan everything too). Please take care of yourself!! Your body lasts a lifetime! If you need something, let me know somehow (a list in an envelope will do) and as long as it is not contraband, I can send it. It would make me feel better if I got at least a few requests. Love, Alex

Em and I are off to Miami on Thursday for 5 days of fun in the sun..........am still keeping August open for a visit to Italy........that is if I'm not laid off by then....there's a possibility of it since Northwest is laying off now. I'll just have to wait and see. You know we're all still thinking of you and praying for your safe return and for all the rest of you guys and gals over there. Stay tough! Love, PAM

173rd AIRBORNE BRIGADE---I just called Congressman Harold Ford's office in DC about your mail situation. The Pentagon is aware that some units have not received any mail. Word is that since the situation is calming down somewhat in many areas, the mail should start to reach all units. Please know that the American public is grateful to you as service people, and I personally hope that when the mail start flowing, you all have so much mail that you won't even have time to read it all. Take care of each other---we are all looking forward to your safe return. Sincerely, Margaret Pellett If you are reading this and know Pvt. PELLETT of Able Co., 2/503rd, please tell him his mom says "Hi".

Sgt. JOEL BEDNAR. ok ok she's a sneak! I just saw her writing on this message board. I saw what she said! We're using the same computer! Just wanted to let you know I am gonna get her at the gym today. See if I spot for her! How are things hanging down south? You loot me some of that good war booty yet? if not get a step on it man! I'm thinking a nice gold guilded Koran:) You know your wife has no buisness talking about "Self-absorbed Marines" she's in that tanning booth and the gym all the time! You must really be hooked on her because I saw that ROCK you gave her. She must have to work out to have enough muscles to lift her hand! You need to get back here soon if I have to go shopping with her one more time I'll lose it! You owe me big time for that torture alone! does this remind you of someone "How about this color? Does that fabric feel breezy?" Who the hell knows if fabric is breezy?!Fabric's breezy when you have a hole in it! I can't handle much more. It was great when we were in college and all she asked of me was to go get the liquor! ok Kick some ass - and get back home SOON! JAKE

to Pvt. JOHN PELLETT----Dear John, We hope things are going relatively well for you and Able Company. Alex is starting to experience the spring rush at Dan West. He has already gotten his first sunburn at work. Daddy has been giving nature tours of the forest to movie club members every Sunday morning, and yesterday he tidied up in his garden and showed them around out there before we watched a very strange W.C.Fields movie from 1933 or so. I am still doing AFS interviews, and this weekend, I will interview a family that lives on a horse farm in Mississippi---should be nice for an exchange student. Take care of yourself out there. Guarding the Kirkuk City Hall? We love you, Mom, Dad, Alex

SGT. JOEL BEDNAR, HHC 1/508th. Hi Babydoll! I wanted to let you know your mother received a letter from you in the mail, so she is happy now. Derek sends his support, and says after you're done with this war...he's holding a spot for you in the Corps. He thinks you'll be a fine Drill Instructor. Personally I don't think you're as self-absorbed as most of his Marine buddies:)Aside from that I couldn't afford the up keep and maitnence if you went that route:) Jake also says hello...I read his little post on here, and he's wrong...I am not mean to the guys when we go out and party. They're just all stupid, and you know how I hate ignorant men! He is right though..he tried to marry me off to someone in 8th grade! Thank god Cory was my rock of sanity, and told Jake that 8th graders DO NOT GET MARRIED! Hehehe! Afterall I finally married the bestest man in the whole world! I love you vary vary much sweetie! Everyone else send their love, and affections to you as well. Hurry home! Oh by the way Cesar learned to Fish yesterday. Tracy, Greg and I took him. He caught 4 fish! He wanted to send you one, but I told him no way:) Love U whole bunchies!-----------Your Sweet Pea

You just worry about getting back here for them. I will be here when your ready to talk. You are my brother and love shall hold strong the distance put between us.

I recently read that in Ken the reporters journal that is stationed with them. Does anyone know if that has changed? If they are not receiving their mail that's BS! Who can I tell that cares? I think it's very important that our soldiers know we love and support them. JASAN WEAVER (1/508th) I LOVE YOU! I am sending you letters and packages. I hope and pray you guys start receiving them.

I feel bad for perhaps letting you down. At least you are around your wonderful platoon and maybe Tom is making you laugh more than I can :) I am so thankful you are ok. I am guessing you didn't get any of the mail I sent to the normal address. Perhaps they will forward it all! :) Today I am sending off the first things to your address in the desert. I hope you get it soon. I think of you always, even in my sleep. "Tread softly because you tread on my dreams"- W.B.

Daniel Bartlett 427 BOX2637 APO AE09630 1/508 SETAF (IRAQ) DAN, I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU! It is a selfless mission that you and all of your fellow soldiers undertake for your country, the Iraqis and the people of the free world. Even if you never fire a shot, I know that you have to consider your mortality, and the possible consequences of facing the enemy, and the prosecution of this war. I am sure that you are going through a metamorphous, and will come back home a man who has faced himself during this time, and understand the value of life, as few 19-year-old young men know. We never stop watching the news, so that we can stay in touch with as many of the actions that the 173rd AIRBORNE may be involved in. I know we only have limited knowledge of all of the activities, and whenever I hear about those actions I have a great sense of pride that you may be helping us all, mixed with an overwhelming fear that you should somehow be injured. It's a Dads curse! Joyce says that she is getting too many gray hairs while you are over there, so please come home soon, and in one piece so that she can give you some noogies on your head. Savannah, and Marina never stop asking if you are Okay. We assure them that you are. By the way, We have you on many prayer lists in the Melbourne Area. I hope you feel them lift you up. Remember the three rules we discussed? 1) Keep your head down. 2) Follow your Sergeant's orders. 3) Don't be a hero. Don't worry about number three anymore. You are already my hero!!! Come home soon, or at least back to your favorite person in Italy. Both are safe. Call if you can. I love you very much, approve of the man I know as my son, and am extremely proud of you!!! Dad

Dear One, You don't know me, but I know you. You and all of your buddies are someone's child. I feel as if you are my child. I cry for you often, I yearn to hold you. I pray many times each and every day for your safety.I want you to be warm when its cold, I want you to have something to drink when you are hot and thirsty. I pray for all that miss you and hope that God has enough time to listen to all of our prayers to keep you safe, until you return home to your loved ones. No, you don't know me, but I know who you are, a very young person. But a man or woman you are today. I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you and your comrades are doing for me and my loved ones. And all of America. I am a widowed mother of three, and a grandmother of seven. And I want you to know ... I care, I cry , I pray and I do love you, even though you don't know me."

At home the flags are flying; yellow bows are up in your honor; scrapbooks are being made; your picture on buttons and keychains are proudly flashed by your family and friends! You're constantly in our thoughts and prayers as we wait for your safe return. Expect a homecoming event you'll never forget! We're keeping up with the 173rd's whereabouts via news and internet--we even saw you in some pictures! You should be getting mail and packages by now. We're very proud of you and hope that you're okay. Be safe! Love you, "Mom" and Dad (PS... we're taking care of Brandi!)

I try to picture where you are and what you are doing. Still watching alot of CNN and FOX news hoping to catch a glimpse of you. Dad teases me because everytime I see someone on tv that resembles you, I'm the first to say, "That looks like Andrew" So that's the saying around here! We love you and miss you. Take care of yourself and your battle buddies. Love, Dad, Kim, Brian, & Nicollette

Hey BJ, (aka SPC Hartley Gilbert, A Co. 1/508th) Good thing you started training for this with Ben, way back when you were 6! Bet you never thought it would come in so handy did you? Hope your receiving your mail, esp. the boxes. There's more on the way, use / eat what you can and pass the rest around. Take lots of pictures, more camera's are coming too. Speaking of which, it was nice to find a couple of them on the web with your mug in them. If you bump into one of the media guys embedded with your unit, tell them your Dad wants them to write more articles and stores. Speaking of writing, use the paper and envelopes I sent to write you mom. As always, stay safe, Love Dad

To Pvt. John PELLETT: Dear John, We spent the afternoon at Dr. Tonkin's son's wedding reception, in the garden. The garden was spectacular and we walked around the lake with a friend of mine who happened to be a friend of the bride. Then we went to Eleanor Baer's garden to check on the stone folly. Eleanor and her son asked how you are doing. Jan Condren called this morning to ask about you also. We heard from Eleanor that Ferd has noticed that you and Alex are not exactly interchangeable. Whatever he said to her, he said it with a smile. We hear they sent a work order to you in Iraq---a couple of bags of fertilizer, etc. We all love you and are anxious to see you. Take good care of yourself. Mom and Co. in Memphis

However, as the big sister of another army brat, keep this in mind. You are one of the only people I have ever heard my brother say he had to keep up with or challenged him to do better. As the big sister who has lost the height advantage, no longer can out run him, and can't in any way, shape, or form physically out perform the younger sibling, I need someone here to keep him in check. Therefore, you must keep yourself safe. What - you wanted serious? :-) O.k. Don't loot.

Been keeping up with what you are doing. Not much news on the northern front that talks about the 173rd. Only brief items here and there on the cable news channels. We are all very proud of you present-day HERD troopers. It warms our hearts to see you gathering such honor for the Brigade. The few views of your jump that were shown on the news has brought back many memories. We are behind you "all the way." I put many suggested items for soldiers in a large container at a local supermarket. We're not getting any info on where to send items for the 173rd. I'd much prefer to send items to all of you . . . instead of some unknown soldier or marine. I guess it works out in the end. Others are sending things that make it to you. The support at home is amazing. I don't think they're even giving much air time to protesters and demonstrators. The media realizes that the VAST majority of Americans don't want to hear that silliness. The really great thing is that people realize we have men and women on the ground . . . it's no time for dissention. Take care, and be safe. Airborne!, Jerry

Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters His voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Come, behold the works of the LORD, how He has wrought desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, He burns the chariots with fire! Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

SSG JON CHANCE We just wanted to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Your mom is keeping me somewhat informed...just knowing that you are safe is assuring! There is an outpouring of support here in New Orleans for all of you. Blenk High School is covered with American flags as well as yellow ribbons and Kristen's religion class wrote letters to you guys. Hopefully you got yours. The radio station WNOE plays "a red white & blue" song each hour, and supporters are always expressing their love and gratitude for all you are doing for us. Personally, I am so proud of you, and I feel very secure in knowing that we have dedicated servicemen like you fighting for freedom. Please pass on the message to everyone in your unit that we support you and thank you for risking your lives to bring peace to our world. GOD BLESS & KEEP YOU ALL... Love always, Mrs. Beth

It was good to hear that you are okay. Not the most favorable conditions, but okay! I will be sending you a package soon. We went shopping for it a few days ago, but N. said it has to be shoebox size or smaller, so we'll have to break it into a few boxes. We are making a HUGE sand box for the girls tomorrow. Some people are coming to help, Maybe Pop & C., Brian and Lane, etc. We still miss you so much, and you are the topic of most conversations.

Your wife thinks you need to get in front of one of those embedded freaks with a camera. I say you start looting! It's all tax free! Make sure to gank some good shit for us, and you can sell that stuff on E-Bay and roll bank! Not that I am all about the pillaging of some poor suffering peoples so far away..oh wait a mintue YES I AM!! Also don't worry about your girl I am keeping the men away from her, just like when we were younger. But when you get back she's your job! She sits around all sad thinking of you and when we can pull her to go out she is such a bitch to guys hitting on her. I hear you fell for that so I'll let it drop man. No really you lucked out like a fat rat when you hook my best friend. I've been trying to give her away since 8th grade. You do my a favor and kick some serious ass! It's great to be a civilain again. You should see this hair! Watch your back man, and I'll watch your girl! Jake

Sgt Ben Keener B/1-508th,You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I finally applied for a passport so if you don't come back state side soon after you get back I will be visiting you in Italy. So other's have received phone calls from their kids...I still seem to be waiting. Poor Clay didn't answer the phone the other day. Needless to say he won't make that choice again. Hell hath no wrath like a really desparate worried MOM. Looks like we may get snow again this weekend. Normal weather for spring here, you wouldn't know it to hear people talk. Please call night or day, leave a message at least so I can hear your voice. Love Mom & Clay... PS Chris is so jealous your going to have the medal for a combat jump, says he would reenlist if they could guarantee he would be shipped out. I do not understand, but thank God for those of you that feel that way and follow your hearts. Where would this world be, if we all chose to let someone else do the dirty work and fight our battle? We would be giving up our strength, our power and most importantly our duty as a large powerful county to help those who are unable to help themselves.I love you and am so proud of you and all those that fight this battle with you.

If you could see the news and the living hell the people of Iraq have had to endure under Saddam you would be 100%sure your mission there is worth every minute of adversity you all have had to endure the past two weeks. Know in your heart you are doing the right thing. If you get a chance to meet a local citizen then take the time to get to know them get an address so 20 years from now you can communicate with them. You all should be proud of the great service you are doing for your country,yourselves,your future, and the future of Iraq. We here are so very proud of you. I hope you are out of there soon.

ADAM ESPENHOVER-B.Co-508th----Dear Adam, Your dad just called and told me you had just called him. We were looking so forward to your call but knew it would be bittersweet. I am so so sorry Adam about Steiny. You dad felt he had to tell you now knowing you were ok and safe, and it gives me comfort to know a chaplain is coming to talk to you too. I know it is such a numbing shock.We felt it to when we got the news. I wish I could be there to hug you and help console you and just be there to listen to you talk about him. I know you probably have so many great memories and pictures in your mind of him, and most likely alot you don't even want me to know about! This is so hard for us to know you are in pain and feeling so helpless for you right now.Steiny loved you like a brother Adam, and he would watch your back for you like you are doing for the other soldiers there. We are grieving for your loss and for such a good guy we will miss. He called here after you were deployed to see how I was doing. What an awesome kind thing to do. He called Ash and said he was suppose to watch out for her now! I debated putting this on a message board ..this isn't the way I wanted to extend my sympathy and my love for you, but your dad said you had gotten our other messages from here, and I want you to know how much we love you, miss you and care for your wellbeing and a regular letter from us may be weeks for you. We still have not gotten your letter about being deployed to Iraq. Adam's family knows you are there with them in your thoughts and love for him in spirit. It has to give them some peace to know Adam touched so many lives and he was a good friend, a good person to others. Come home safe hon.They need to hear from you too, you were so close to Adam, it will give them some closeness to him. I can't tell you enough how much we love you and hurt for you and for his mom and dad right now. Please talk to others and the chaplain to help you through this and take care of yourself. You have so much to come home for and Steiny is looking out for you now. I know he is there watching over you, he loved you Adam. Our special prayers for you and Steiny, Love, Mom

This is for Pfc. Josh Blaney with 1/508,173rd Airborne. Hey, Josh it's mom again. It's Friday morning here and I just wanted to take a minute to email you. Hopefully, I'll hear from you soon. Another mom with a son in 508/173, Paul Huser's mom, Mary, has been emailing me. She said two other moms whose sons are in the 508/173 have received phone calls. I really wish we could get a call from you or letter or even email to know you are ok and where you are. As soon as you get a chance, please get in touch with me or Sarah. We are all so worried about you and concerned about what is going on. Sounds like things are on the downside now from what we hear on TV. I really hope so. We all miss you and pray for you everyday. You and all the soldiers are on lots of prayer lists here in North Carolina and South Carolina. Eric and I watch CNN every night in hopes of getting a glimpse of you, but so far I haven't seen you. Amy thought she saw you a week or so ago. Please take care and call or write when you can. We all love you and miss you so much--please take care and BE SAFE! LOVE YOU LOTS, MOM PS--IF ANYONE HAS A SON IN THE 508/173RD AND HAS GOTTEN ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM HIM, PLEASE EMAIL ME. THANKS!

To: Specialist Adam Mason Hi'ya Beamer, I hope you are well, we are all thinking of you. Thought you might enjoy this article. Love ya buddy. Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 9:43 PM Subject: Fw: Article from England An Article from England. No matter what your views on President Bush's statement of upcoming war, this, from an English journalist, is very interesting. Just a word of background, for those of you who aren't familiar with the UK's Daily Mirror. This is a notoriously left-wing daily that is normally not supportive of the Colonials across the Atlantic. ********************************************************************** Tony Parsons Daily Mirror September 11, 2002 One year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of broadcasting - - the mass murder of thousands, live on television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty of the human race, September 11 was up there with Pol Pot's Mountain of Skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal bodies stacked like garbage in the Nazi concentration camps. An unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and so utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing - nobody deserves this fate. Surely there could be consensus: The victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil. But to the world's eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as America's comeuppance. Incredibly, anti-Americanism has increased over the last year. There has always been a simmering resentment to the USA in this country; too loud, too rich, too full of themselves, and so much happier than Europeans - but it has become an epidemic. And it seems incredible to me. More than that, it turns my stomach. America is this country's greatest friend and our staunchest ally. We are bonded to the US by culture, language and blood. A little over half a century ago, around half a million Americans died for our freedoms, as well as their own. Have we forgotten so soon? And exactly a year ago, thousands of ordinary men, women and children - not just Americans, but from dozens of countries, were butchered by a small group of religious fanatics. Are we so quick to betray them? What touched the heart about those who died in the Twin Towers and on the planes, was that we recognized them. Young fathers and mothers, somebody's son and somebody's daughter, husbands, wives, and children, some unborn. And these people brought it on themselves? Their nation is to blame for their meticulously planned slaughter? These days you don't have to be some dust-encrusted nut job in Kabul or Karachi or Finsbury Park to see America as the Great Satan. The anti-American alliance is made up of self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter that the world's only superpower can do what it likes without having to ask permission. The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11. Remember, remember - Remember the gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say, "I love you," before they were burned alive. Remember those people leaping to their deaths from the top of burning skyscrapers. Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive. Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who was on one of the planes with her mum. Remember, remember - And realize that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have. So a few al-Qaeda tourists got locked up without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the Kleenex. So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semi-automatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti. AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking lot. That it didn't is a sign of strength. American voices are already being raised against attacking Iraq - that's what a democracy is for. How many in the Islamic world will have a minute's silence for the slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination? When the news of 9/11 broke on the West Bank, those freedom- loving Palestinians were dancing in the street. America watched all of that - and didn't push the button. We should thank the stars that America is the most powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a "war on terrorism." A real war. The fundamentalist dudes are talking about "opening the gates of hell," if America attacks Iraq. Well, America could have opened the gates of hell like you wouldn't believe. The US is the most militarily powerful nation that ever strode the face of the earth. The campaign in Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and the planned war on Iraq may be misconceived. But don't blame America for not bringing peace and light to these wretched countries. How many democracies are there in the Middle East, or in the Muslim world? You can count them on the fingers of one hand - assuming you haven't had any chopped off for minor shoplifting. I love America, yet America is hated. I guess that makes me Bush's poodle. But I would rather be a dog in New York City than a Prince in Riyadh. Above all, America is hated because it is what every country wants to be - rich, free, strong, open, optimistic. Not ground down by the past, or religion, or some caste system. America is the best friend this country ever had and we should start remembering that. Or do you really think the USA is the root of all evil? Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women who leaped to their death from the burning towers. Tell it to the nursing mothers whose husbands died on one of the hijacked planes, or were ripped apart in a collapsing skyscraper. And tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose husbands worked for the New York Fire Department. To our shame, George Bush gets a worse press than Saddam Hussein. Once we were told that Saddam gassed the Kurds, tortured his own people and set up rape-camps in Kuwait. Now we are told he likes Quality Street. Save me the range center, Oh Mighty One! Remember, remember, September 11 - One of the greatest atrocities in human history was committed against America. No, do more than remember. Never forget. Do consider passing this on. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Support for you guys is unlike any I've ever seen, now that Saddam's regime has fallen. Still a dangerous time with the mopping-up operations which will take some time. Perhaps France and Germany will provide some troops to assist in this. As an old combat blaster from Nam, very proud of you guys and the job you're doing. Here in Nashville, at the CMT awards this past week, all the country music stars applauded you guys and booed the Dixie Chicks. In my time, the country rooted for the bad guys and booed us.

I see your Mom wrote a note today also. I can't believe the way ypu and the rest of the Military are KICKING some Iraqi BUTT. I am so proud to be your Aunt, Kris you are a HERO and I love you very much. I hope your doing well and that you stay safe. I like the idea of patting your chest 3 times so we know your safe. I watch MSNBC almost all day in the hopes of catching a glimpse of you. The news here is so vivid of what is going on over there. I can't imagine the things you are seeing. I can't wait till you bring yourself home safe and sound. I want to hear the stories, keep a journal if you can. You are history in the making and its just amazing. I pray for you and all of the troops everyday. I check on your Mom often to let her know I love her too. She is staying strong, but you know Moms, we have to worry its our job. I know the Leo in you will bring you home safe and sound in one piece. Stay safe and keep you head down. Love you lots. Hugs to you.............Love Aunt Kerry and Girls

We told you she is just too smart. She is America's Bravest Little Girl. Lots of friends and family have been mailing packages to you with plenty to share with the guys. Kris, Dad & I are so proud of you, we cannot find the words that would honor you and the rest of the 173rd. Now that Baghdad is free, I'm sure the evil force will come your way. Remember your training and you will be safe. By the way Dad has had 2 fires in the last 3 shifts, you know how those firecats are. We have found tons of pictures of Iraq. God bless you son, God bless your friends, God bless American. We miss you so, if you see a camera, get in front of it and tap your chest 3 times so we know you are safe and warm. xoxoxoxofrom Jacenya, she has mailed you a package of art work.

The Greatest Love The greatest love I was ever shown, Was given me by those unknown. Whose love for all of those like me, Was given without vanity, Was given freely without remorse, Free-flying into the battle course. With courage fighting our enemy, So our land would always home the free. So my own children can live and grow, My children that they did not know. Those brave warriors, Whose lives were lost. All paying the terrible, ultimate cost. The greatest heroes, woman and man, Who gave their lives in a foreign land, Whose last sight was the desert sand, All led to glory by God's tender hand. Never again to see this sweet land, That they so loved, that they made their stand. Never again, to take a breath free, Or to feel the touch of family, They gave up their lives so that it remained free, For they so loved this great country. With pride we stand and voice what we want, While overlooking soldier souls haunt, Smiling while children laugh and play, In freedom growing day by day. All because of those unknown, Who's greatest wish was to just come home. I pray that maybe, when they take their last breath, That they closed their eyes, And just before death, Took the vision to glory, Of America green, And smiled when thinking of those unseen. The greatest love I was ever shown, Was given me by those unknown. THANK YOU!

Hi ADAM ESPENHOVER. I wrote you a note yesterday right after this board was turned back on but I see it didn't post. Your area is a little more in the news today. I don't know if that is good or bad. We certainly want to get a glimpse of you but also, no news is good news. We have been seeing pictures on the internet of the various sleeping arrangements for some of the troops, everything from dust storms to mud puddles. I bet that hard old cot won't seem so bad once you get back to base. I think of you everyday. Keep safe and remember how much everybody misses, loves and supports you. Hope you can call or write home soon--I know it will bring much relief to your mom, dad and sister. Take care. Love, Diane

Hello this April day from BOISE CITY, OKLAHOMA for AUSTIN FRENCH. We have you in our thoughts and prayers on this day of celebration in Baghdad, though it sounds more unsettled in the northern part of Iraq. It is good to see the citizens welcome you and thank you for their liberation, and I am sure that it is good for all of the troops morale. There was a big celebration for the support of our troops today at Ground Zero in New York City, the place where so much of this started. Be well, be safe, be strong.

This is for my precious son, PFC Daniel Bartlett, II Hi Babe! We miss you. I've sent a few letters and so have Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa says he writes you letters every day and sends them. I hope you are getting all the mail. I can't tell you how proud I am of you and your fellow soldiers. When I watched the first night on the news of all of you jumping out of the airplane into northern Iraq, well, not only did the tears flow, but my heart filled with such pride. All week they talked about you and all the training you have had. I'm very proud of you. Shane is down in Baghdad in the 3rd ID in an Abrahms tank (sorry about the spelling if it's wrong). Nick is in the 101st Airborne and, from what Aunt Cathy says, was one of them at the airport in Baghdad. Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma Kay, Aunt Cathy, Clint, Aunt Cher, Jessica, Randi, Hailey all send their love to you. Terry told me about this website. I hope you have the capabilities to read the messages from us while you are in Iraq. We love you and miss you something fierce. Love you!!!!! Ma, Gary, Michael, Terry, Jamie PS Rocky sends his love and says he may or may not be coming there. He hasn't heard for 100% sure yet. That was as of last night. Talked with him after I got home from work. - Love Ma!

Another message for my son, PFC BRANDON ALTEMUELLER. Sending my love and encouragement. You guys are making history....stay strong and be proud. I have a new address to send you mail. The only thing I am not certain is what unit you are in (the 1st/508th or the 2nd/503rd)....I am guessing the 1st/508th. I hope you get my letters and packages. Love, Mom :-)

Pvt. JOHN PELLETT---Dear John, We read you are probably on your way to Kirkuk. We hope you all are well and that Iraqi resistance continues to fade away as you move forward. We read that US forces are going to have to be present in Kirkuk, so maybe you will get some peacekeeping duty there. We are thinking about all of you and keeping up with Able Company and the 173rd each day through Ken Dilanian at philly.com Looking forward to hearing that you all are getting a much-deserved break from this combat zone. We love you and are praying for all of you every day. Much love from all of us in Memphis, Mom, Dad, Alex, Honey and Pup :>)

SSG Jeremy Baum- Thought we'd write again to tell you that we pray for you, our troops, and our nation every day. We are so proud of all of our servicemen and want everyone to know it. It warms our hearts to see the liberation of Iraq and all the happy people cheering for the American troops and the fall of the Iraqi regime. Though I'm sure there is much work left to accomplish, it is still bittersweet. Seeing all of the statues and paintings being destroyed brings us happiness. This man was egotistical and the people that supported him idolic. How could a man make so much money off of his country while leaving 99% of the country in poverty. Not to mention the executions and sick torturing that prisoners received under his leadership. What a sick individual to have his face strewn everywhere as if he were God. We serve the only God and this God wants to silence this evil man and bring his regime to an end. Gavin and Jenna are getting big!! Gavin is 2 1/2 and he is 38 inches tall (I believe) and he weighs 30 lbs. Jenna is 5 months old and she weighed in yesterday at 15 lbs at the doctor's office, and she is 26 inches long. She is the smilest, cheeriest baby ever! We will talk to you soon and pray that you can go home and see your family soon--THEY NEED YOU TOO!! We pray that you get out of there soon and that we will be able to see you soon as well. Take care and GOD BLESS!! Matt, Michelle, Gavin & Jenna Wallmow

FOR ADAM ESPENHOVER: Hi Adam-I am glad this post never got terminated-it helps to be able to type a message to you hoping you will see it soon. I sent a long letter off yesterday. I just talked to Jenny B. and told her about this site and also gave her the new field address. I see there is alot of celebrating in the southern part of Iraq today. I have to say it makes me somewhat nervous what is happening up north because the focus has been so much on Baghdad; other than your jump and the few days after that, there hasn't been alot of northern front news. I type it in for a search but it is mostly the same. But they say no news is good news. We still have not gotten your letter.Tomorrow!!??? I got a neat letter from one of the mothers of a soldier in the 508th-his picture is online and was in the DSM paper too...he was having a smoke right after the jump-Rodney Cameron-do you know him by any wild chance?I emailed his mom to say it was a great picture. I hope to hear from you soon..I got the pictures in the mail today from your dad that were taken when we picked you up in DSM this summer after boot camp.It was so good to see those! There is a great one of you and Ash.I am going to put your picture and address in the Carroll paper too.By the way, it sounds like your dad is getting a different computer so you should get messages from him soon. That will be so nice when you finally have email access. I love you and miss hearing from you. Be safe.I know you are a well trained intelligent soldier,and with the best, but I am looking forward to the huge hug (and party!)you are going to get when you get back to the states! Please come home safe and write or email ASAP!! Love, Mom

I sent you off a care package today, it's small--not sure if you can even receive mail at all yet, especially packages. Hopefully, it will get to you at some point. I'm checking the website photos daily, hoping for a glimpse of your gorgeous face! There's a great photo of Sgt.Hilla. There's a couple that we think might be you, but hard to tell. I wish I knew if you were ever going to see this message, if it's actually printed and passed on to you...I know you don't have access to a computer. Anyway, we miss you, and love you very, very much. We're so proud of you. Be careful!!!!! Say Hi to Nicholas and the guys! When can I buy a ticket to Italy? Love, Mom

Sorry for the delay, but I found out about this site only a few days ago...Wish I had seen you before you all left, but, oh well, I'm sure there'll be another chance soon. It's kinda weird to write msgs here 'cause it seems to be on the Big Brother, where everyone can read other people's notes, but it's also a great chance to give you guys all of our support. We obviously can just somehow immagine what you guys have been going through, since the war of who's fighting is a lot different from the one of who's at home watching the news and listening only to what the medias allow you to know. All I know is that I really hope you're all ok and, no matter how long it's gonna take (hopefully not too long), you'd better get your butts back alright, ok? Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hugs and kisses to Freeborn, Fabion and Jason (I certainly spelled it all wrong). Your friend always, Connie

Message: Sarah had her forth chemo threatment monday. On tuesday she goes in for a shot. The shot cost approximately $2500. Since I am retired and have no money I am forwarding the bill to Italy for payment. If this treatment is typical of the other three, she will be sick for seven to ten days. After that she will bug me for all the undone projects of the past ten years. Some things never change.
Phil I am very proud of having you as a son-in-law. I know that my daughter will always be loved and respected. I know that my three grands will never want for love and attention. In these days of child abuse and neglect, Sarah and I have no fear. We love you both and expect that you will pay all of our bills as we reach mid-age and beyond.
In recent days I have talked with both Lee and Linda. They are proud of you and your accompishments (one being marrying a wonderful girl-my only daughter).
Now the bad news. The lawn-mover which I restored. It has died! I have taken it apart, a new transmission will be needed. This will cost you approximately $325.00. You can pay when you return home.
Eric is nagging me about repairs needed at his house. He wants me to rebuild his chimney, replace rotten siding, and replace his deck rail. Since I have nothing to do, (all of Sarah's projects) he wants it done NOW! He will probably want me to pay for the materials. Speaking of Sarah's projects, do you remember the azalea bed in front of the house? It is now in the back yard. These plants have been there for the better part of twenty five years. Transplanting each plant required better than 1.5 hours. Now back to the lawn mover. My Snapper blew an engine! As usual Sarah wants to buy a new one ($2350), I want to replace the engine as I did for your mover. Hopefully, I will finally win a battle for the first time in my married life.
Beth called today. She has been spending your money- flowers. Beth really has surprised me with her desire to have a beautiful yard. They have had some cold night, hopefully the plants were not killed.
Sarah is up to her old habits again, saving money. Once you'all were in Italy she could not wait to purchase a computer. Look at all the money she could save, e-mails and opposed to telephone calls. To my knowledge she has not been to the basement one time since Beth set up the computer. Saving money in Georgia!
Take care of yourself and don't worry about the kids. If anyone will take care of their kids its Beth. About the money you owe me, don't loose any sleep over it, we can settle-up upon your return. My computer skills are like your math skills-they don't exist. I can not find the "spell check". As you shall see, spelling is not my game and to top that, I don't know what my game is my game. Sex!

Now the bad news. The lawn-mover which I restored. It has died! I have taken it apart, a new transmission will be needed. This will cost you approximately $325.00. You can pay when you return home.
Eric is nagging me about repairs needed at his house. He wants me to rebuild his chimney, replace rotten siding, and replace his deck rail. Since I have nothing to do, (all of Sarah's projects) he wants it done NOW! He will probably want me to pay for the materials. Speaking of Sarah's projects, do you remember the azalea bed in front of the house? It is now in the back yard. These plants have been there for the better part of twenty five years. Transplanting each plant required better than 1.5 hours. Now back to the lawn mover. My Snapper blew an engine! As usual Sarah wants to buy a new one ($2350), I want to replace the engine as I did for your mover. Hopefully, I will finally win a battle for the first time in my married life.
Beth called today. She has been spending your money- flowers. Beth really has surprised me with her desire to have a beautiful yard. They have had some cold night, hopefully the plants were not killed.
Sarah is up to her old habits again, saving money. Once you'all were in Italy she could not wait to purchase a computer. Look at all the money she could save, e-mails and opposed to telephone calls. To my knowledge she has not been to the basement one time since Beth set up the computer. Saving money in Georgia!
Take care of yourself and don't worry about the kids. If anyone will take care of their kids its Beth. About the money you owe me, don't loose any sleep over it, we can settle-up upon your return. My computer skills are like your math skills-they don't exist. I can not find the "spell check". As you shall see, spelling is not my game and to top that, I don't know what my game is my game. Sex! (Maybe)

Message: Pvt.JOHN PELLETT----Dear John, We continue to read about Able Co. in Ken Dilanian's reports to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Glen Hays is threatening to call the Commercial Appeal and send them out to do a profile of you for the local news. I have not decided whether I want to talk to a reporter or not, but I might. It would mean you would have a little newspaper article for your children and grandchildren to marvel at years from now, so I'm somewhat inclined to over let it happen. You and your buddies---please take care of yourselves up there in the north. Judging from what we see on the news, you are travelling in beautiful country. Hope you and your buddies are in good enough condition to notice the scenery every once in a while. Your presence in Iraq was announced at a local garden club recently. The thought of that should put a momentary smile on your face. Love from all of us, Mom & Co.

When the news broke about the howitzers put to very good use brought a smile to my face. My husband did 2 tours of Nam with the "Herd" he knows what you are doing feeling and experiencing. We have a candle in the window and a yellow ribbon around the tree, they stay there until all of you are home. Even at Mass on Sunday there were continued prayers for the men. On the lighter side it snowed again here hopefully this is the time it will snow for the year but this is New England so if you don't like the weather just wait it will change fast enough.

Go figure, I'm the one with the most access to news footage...and I can't seem to find you. Anyway, we all love you and are thinking about you. Take care of yourself, and your guys. We are all very proud of you. Love, Mike, Leanne & Alyssa

Dear Daddy, I hope you are safe over there in Iraq. I have been going to SAS everyday now. I can't wait to go back tomorrow. Today we had a carnival at SAS. In 2 more days, I will be in a parade. I wish you could be here to see me, but I understand why you can't. I have been earning money by doing chores. It is starting to get real warm here. But still a little chilly. Mommy tells me that it is hot where you are. Are you getting a tan? Cameron has been reading a lot of books. I love you and I wish you could come home soon. Love you lots, Frankie

SGT. JOEL BEDNAR, aka My Babydoll:) Well, honey Kansas did not win the NCAA Championship, so you can tell Cpt. Matt Holiday that the whole state is in a state of sadness. We lost it by 3 at the very last second. We just couldn't get out outside to shoot the damn ball for jack! 81-78 Syracusse won. I'm ok I guess...no partying in Lawerence for me this weekend. If you want a Final Four shirt..I bet I can get you one on Clearance..arghhh! Sorry just ticked we did win!! I want you to know how much I love you! You are my light..my heart..my world Babydoll! I hope you come back soon! If not I found a Merc school that willingly accepts females. The "Tuition" is decent...then I'd only have to get a ticket..bounce the passport, and see if I'd enjoy my new profession:) hehehe! You know I want to do it, but I won't for your sake! See how much you mean to me sweetie! I'd give up my dreams of being a Mercenary just for you! Man that's LOVE! "Whole Bunchies Babydoll"......Sweat Pea

Dear Donald Adair, I just want you to know that we're still thinking about you here. I really just want to get to talk to you more than anything just to see how you are, but this is the closest alternative that I have.Prom is this weekend, like it matters, but you always wanted to know what was going on with me and I did get a baby blue tux. Trey got a yellow one because he couldn't find an orange one. I didn't get to get the lamborghini, of course. It was too expensive and no one within 5 or 10 states had one to rent. Anyways I hope you get this, but until we talk next I just want to let you know two things 1. your still the ugly one and 2. I can still kick your ass. Peace. Steve-O P.S. don't say bullshit when you read that last part cause you know it's true. I'm Michael and you're Tito. What. If you get another chance call, we'll answer next time.peace.

Clay drug me out yesterday (sunday)for a "little" hike the man could most of your guys into the ground. We really didn't go far, but slithering down the side of a mountain to get to the The American River just about finished me off. Advil and I have been fast friends today. The soul is willing but the body complains way too loudly. I know someone is reading these messages because 173 HHQ has responded too a couple of them. Its nice too know they are out there. Have put a couple of things in the mail to you and your Aunt Sharon and Counsin Jim are sending a package. I think they mailed it today. Stay safe I love you MOM

ADAM ESPENHOVER: 1/508th BRAVO--Hi Adam,we had a spring blizzard yesterday--so no school today-I got a long letter written to you and hopefully it will get to you soon. I saw a photo of the 173rd and the mud you are dealing with. I hope you can get back to Italy ASAP! It actually looks like beautiful countryside from some of the photos we have seen...unfortunately under the conditions you are living and the wet time of the year there I am sure you are not taking this as a highlight of your many travels. Makes the Boundary Waters seem like a plush resort now? I can tell by the messages on this board there are so many proud families who believe in the 173rd's mission and just want you all back safe and very soon! You must be amongst some incredibly cool brave men and you certainly are one yourself! Tell Verbage (sp?) hello and he promised me he would watch your back. Take care of yourself-care packages and mail is on its way! Love you always, Mom

Dear Jack Due to my logistical constraints I am forced to relay this message via telephone from Katie's computer so that you can get this message. How are things? Mom and dad say hi and they are constantly watching tv to see what is going on with you. They are worried about you and pray for you every night and they love you a lot. I just reported into Ft. Bragg on Sunday. Inprocessing is going slow and it looks like I will be going 3/505. I am not sure what is going to happen with them. It looks like they may be staying here for a while. I am living with 3 of my buddies from West Point. Rent is supposed to be $275 / month. It is a brand new house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It is a really nice house in a great area. Not to mention the best part is I get paid BHA: $650 so hopefully I will be making money. Things with Katie are going great, I just wish that she was here more. So I might have to do something about that. More to follow on that later ........ Other than that Chris called mom and dad a few times to give us an update. She seems excited and worried at the same time. So overall, things are going alright. Just keep your head down and you will be alright. We all love you and we think about you all of the time. Hope all is well and hope to hear from you soon - love, Tom

We have to wait until stores order it in. Then people buy it like crazy!!! I hope you are still safe and continuing to keep your spirits up. I need to say THANK YOU to you and all your comrades for defending freedom and keeping this world a safer place to live. I mailed your package to you and a letter. I hope you get it this year. They say due to the number of packages being sent it is taking them a little longer on this end to sort though everything. Many people are praying for your safety and speedy return. You are on everyone's mind daily. Remember to take care of yourself and that your family loves you dearly. LOVE and MISS ya, Lisa

You can always bet on snow, or at least flurries, on opening day at Wrigley. Game was postponed until tomorrow, Tuesday. It is 8:13p.m. here in Chicago. We went back on daylight savings time yesterday, so it is nice to have that extra hour of daylight after work. Just wanted to say hello and let you know you are never far from our thoughts.

TO ADAM ESPENHOVER--Hey, Adam, how's it going? I noticed you were not getting too many messages (meaning NONE) from any hot babes so guess you're stuck hearing from your old fat aunt. I read that they are sending two chartered planes to Iraq for the sole purpose of delivering mailso I am hoping you get your letters and packages. I talked to your dad today and he said he thought we should back off sending any more packages because he thinks you might have to lug all the goodies on your back. I told him I was sure you would share the cookies and candies but you would probably hoard the cigarettes for yourself! We think of you constantly and even though we all worry about you, I think we're finally starting to realize "Damn, those guys know what they are doing". Even so, take care and be careful and get your little butt home safe. Love, Diane

Please let me know if there is a unit coin/association/etc. so I may show my pride in being a Sky SOLDIER. Our prayers and thoughts are for your safe return to your loved ones and a very gratfull nation. God Bless you all.

For Pvt First Class, Charles DeWitt: I just found this web site today. I was listening to CNN a minute ago. Thomas Nybo said that some of the soldiers there wanted to know what the people of America thought about this war. Most of us know that this is a neccessary war and we stand behind our troops and president Bush... There's so much support here. Brenda wants me to give her your mailing address when you get it to me or your dad - there are alot of people in her town (Holden, Missouri) who want to send care packages to your unit. I'm watching the news constantly to keep up on the war news. I got a satellite dish just so I could get CNN. I heard tonight that the 173rd was involved in some artillery fire. We are so proud of you. Don't be too concerned that I will worry too much. I'm going to anyway - I am your mom. But, I know that you are where you should be at this time. You have always been a soldier in essense. I talked to your dad last night. Either one of us hopes to hear from you if you ever get the chance. Love you... Bye for now.

To Alan Shaffer: Hey sweetie. Grandma Dorothy asked me to send you a message and let you know that you are in her thoughts and prayers. Granddad George is doing ok. They send their love. Caleb is in the Jr. Navy ROTC at school and is watching the news closely. He wishes he was there with you. He has what he calls the "Airborne Creed" memorized. He is so proud of you Alan. I gave him your website so you will probably be hearing from him. Take care of yourself, keep your head down and watch your back! We love you Alan. God Bless all of you. We miss you sweetie.

This msg. is for Cpt. Shay Howard. Just wanted to let you know I've been thinking of you and hope you are well and safe. Nobody knows more than I do how real the threat really is and I'm proud beyond words to know that you're out there risking your life for our freedoms. This also holds special meaning for me because my dad supported the 173d as a huey pilot in Vietnam. Just remember to duck and come back safe, there's so much more of Italy I've yet to show you. I've sent you a few boxes with goodies, hopefully they'll make it to you. I was talking to an ex-Marine at work and he said to send you toilet paper and hot sauce......Take care, be safe and when possible write, call, send smoke signals, let me know you're ok. XOXOXOXOXOXO your favorite "hooker"

Things on the home front are fine and the weather is one day cold and one day hot, but thats California for ya :-). All the kids went to the Angels game last weekend, it was the freeway game and darn the Angels lost :-(. Oh well it's still early in the season. Saw your unit on T.V. the other day the reporter with your unit gave an update. Its Clint and Christina's 2nd Wedding Anniversary. I told her that I couldn't believe that she has put up with him that long, Ha,Ha,Ha, poor Clint. Well better be going for now. Take care honey!!! Love U!!!!!!!!!!

Pete, You are my hero, bro. You always wanted to jump out of an airplane and now you have done it. Remember when you used to sing the airborne ranger song from The Breakfast Club? Funny how that worked out! I proudly tell all of my students and my church about you and the 173rd. We are all praying for you. I have a picture of the brigade as the wallpaper on my desktop. It caused quite a stir with the ROTC kids. They realize the importance of patriotism every time they look at it. Don't y'all listen to these fools who say you shouldn't be over there. They are morally and patriotically inept. Tell everyone that they have our prayers. I'm trying to send care packages to The Rock, but the newscasters keep telling us not to send anything because too many people are already doing it. I'm so rebellious, I'm going to do it anyway. My students have pulled together and gathered items for y'all. Enjoy and let me know if there is anything else you'd like to have. Play it as safe as you can, considering the circumstances, and write back to me if it's possible. I love you, bro. God willing I'll see you soon. The kids and Slade say "hi" and "Don't run with scissors!" All our love, Sis and Fam.

As I watch the news,I was surprised to see the images of the c130 aircraft and the newscaster stating that the 173rd.airborne Bde.was drooping into Iraq ,Guys I was elated ,the "herd"was back on it old mission ,the total defense of our nations goals,as one president said or was it an ambassador ,the might of a nation is in the quick strike force of its airborne units,we the "herd"have kept that promise,think before you commit yourself,or you will feel the wrath of the 'airborne from above,the "Herd trooper',YOu guys or on the line of defense ,and I envy you ,I wish I can be there but is your time now ,and I know you will make us all proud,Listen to your non-coms,keep your head down and become weary of all thse you dont know,remember you are only on loan ,not a permanent fixture ,do your job and come back ,so we can give ypou guys one 'hell 'of an airborne party,that I know will happen Your Big brother, Jose L Perez Ortiz SFC-RET carolina Puerto Rico

For Thomas Reyna II. Tom, I work with your dad, well actually I work and your dad watches!! Just kidding. Tom gave me this address to send a note to you. I want you and the guys to know how proud we are of you. I just can't say enough of how we swell with pride to see what all of you are doing. Finally somebody got it right. I did two tours in Nam and I know just what you are thinking and feeling. This is your proudest moment. Something you will never forget. All of us back here in the states are supporting you. If you hear about protestors just remember in this war they are a small minority. The news stations gave them some time on air at first but now it's focused on you guys. Besides the Nam vets have kicked their asses for you!!! A couple of things that I learned if I may pass them on. Keep low, keep your head down, keep your weapon cleaned and always revert to your training. It got me back in one piece. Dave Smailes Swinomish Police Department

This is a message for my son, Sargent Michael Grabski... I am sitting here son, thinking of you on a daily basis, indeed perhaps hourly is more accurate... I follow the news regularly to try to get a glimpse into where you are and how you are faring. In any sense I know that you are in a foreign country putting your life on the line for ideals we both know to be, and hold to our hearts as, true. To say that I miss you is the understatement of the decade, lets just say I am here, waiting for that celebration we promised when you get back. You are my son, and as well a strong and capable man. I am proud of you, and I will say - even to a quasi-public message board - I love you. Take the very best of care, fight well, think sharp and come back soon... Dad - "Stephan"

Thank you for the long hours, cold nights, muddy terrain, seperation from loved ones and the selfless service and sacrifice that distinguish you as fighting US Army soldiers To Bradley Neasham -- I am so proud of you. I cannot find the proper words to express how proud of you I am, or how grateful I will always be to your and your comrades for the job that you are doing in Iraq. Return to us safely, I can't wait to see you and hug my brother, my hero.

SGM MIKE CLEMENTS... Hey, bro. I hope you get some of the mail the family has sent the past two weeks. We sent enough candy for most of the 1-508th. Foot powder (and other med. supplies) is on the way, too. We heard the cry for coffee, so it will be headed your way... Everything here is fine. John and I heard the baby's heart beat last week. It's a fast little critter. The doctor had to keep moving the monitor to keep up with the baby.... I made sure that everyone got this web address and knew that everything was cool with you. I would appreciate if you'd "embed" yourself next to one of those reporters and get on TV.... The goats down the road were asleep on top of hay stacks the other day, and I wished that I could have taken a picture to send you.... Take care. Talk to you again soon. Love, Cheryl

From a fellow Airborne soldier, I say thank you. Being Airborne myself, I am honestly jealous of you, For you have had the great priveledge of caryying on a tradition To which I happen to know all too well as my father is a original sky soldier. You happen to be a rare few that finds themselves in a position to which the herd has been in war twice and has two combat jumps. I can say with very much respect, AIRBORNE!!!!!...... You uphold the very best of traditions and what it means to be airborne. Never forget you are a special breed that go faster, farther, longer and harder than the rest will do. If there was a way I could put the "herd" patch on my shoulder my career as a soldier would be forever complete. NEVER forget those that came before you or the shoes they left you to fill, for they are huge but you are already doing a great job in stepping into them. "ALL THE WAY"

Also, yesterday I was in a third grade class looking at your website. They were all so impressed that you guys jump from airplanes! They felt bad that you had to sleep in wet foxholes. They think the 173rd is pretty cool; they said to tell all of you thanks for protecting them. Keep your heads down! Be smart. We love you and think of all of you constantly. Come home soon!

Dear PFC Ryan Wilmington: My friend Patrick, whom you met a few years ago at my New Years party, his sister got married today in San Antonio, Texas. You met Vanessa at that same party. She said a prayer for you and the rest of the soldiers at her wedding ceremony. I thought that was really selfless of she and Jason to include you in their ceremony on their special day. Want you to know that we were proud of you before you became a part of Iraqi Freedom. Now the rest of the world can share in that pride that we have had all along. Like your Jeff and Karen said in their posted message earlier, keep your head down and I would like to add, keep your heart up. We know you will be home soon. It's so strange to think that just a few years ago you and Nate were sitting up in the tree in your mom's front yard on the 4th of July, smoking a cigarette (shame on you). That seems like just yesterday. Now you are both a part of this world altering event. He with the 101st and you with the 173rd. I am almost finished filming a movie here in Chicago. It is about British Intelligence operations in Germany during WWII. In the scene we filmed last week, we were trying to contact an officer behind enemy lines and as focused as I tried to be in the scene, my thoughts kept coming back to you and your bravery in this time of war. Stay in touch with your mom, dad and Karen. They have been really brave, as have all the other loved ones who have relatives and friends over there. Peace Soldier. Brett

FOR ADAM ESPENHOVER: It's 1:00 a.m. your time and I wonder how you are doing -I think that everyday, every hour. I am printing off all of the 173rd Airborne pictures on this website for you to have. It's a good website for the families. Holly called us yesterday! She said we will be getting a field address and you will have mail and packages being forwarded-didn't realize they were on hold this long, so hope Julie's cookies still taste good!! Lots of food and stuff for the other men also. Even have some Marlboro Lights coming your way!! Bet you didn't think I would ever spend $33 a carton for your smokes!! I am about ready to take it up!! Just kidding. I am so proud of you Adam, and the men and women you serve with. What a life changing experience to be a part of history and to help make a difference for others. Come home safe to us. You have touched a lot of people's lives back home and I guess something like this, is when people realize it. They are behind you all the way and looking forward to you coming home.Ashleigh sends her love too! Hope you get all the other messages everyone has been sending on this message board to you. Take care of yourself hon, Mom

To my little brother SPC Kris Knight of the 173rd, I love you and miss you. I watch the news, and go on the Internet everyday hoping to find a picture of you. Everyone we know down here in Florida is praying for you, and the rest of the troops. Even some people we don't know are praying for you. Your daughter is getting bigger everyday, and she's reading really well know. She read me a book last night, about an elephant that has the hiccups. She and I drew pictures to send to you last night, too. Please be safe,and come home soon. I trust in your training, and I know that you will be okay. I love you little brother. Jessica PS-Hey man, it's Ray, I wanted to say something to you too. Your sister misses you a lot, so does the rest of your family, and friends. I miss you too. I know that you're out there kicking some serious Iraqi ass, and you're probably pretty tired, so I'll keep this short. Ray

Prvt John B. Pelltt, Able Company 2/503rd. We were up early today to get a garage sale started. You know interesting people go garage saling. We met some who has just returned from China where they adopted a 4 year old little girl. She is now the owner of an old bike of Matts. We sold a tread mill to a cute little old couple. It is a nice way to spend a morning. I imagine at times you would rather be here doing that as well, but I know you are having a very exciting time your self. I can't really imagine what it is like. I have looked at all the pictures they have mosted. I wish you would smile for the camera so I was sure I was looking at you. All I know is ya'll look very hot in all that army wear and gear. You must be in awsome shape. Well enough rambling. Just know we are all thinking about you. I have been reading all the emails that people send and one common phrase is watch your back. Be safe and we are praying for you. love your aunt Joan and family.

Our prayers are with you. Remember Psalms 3. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that have set themselves up around about me. The LORD is my salvation...I've been playing 'sandstorm' for you- while you're in the 'sandstorm' and think of you all the time. We check the news everyday at noon our time to see what's happening. Can you tell us where you are at right now? Look forward to hearing from you if you can. We all love you so much. Caleb understands that you are a superhero who is using lasers and guns to get the bad guys.

Hi Richie Farquhar just you aunt checking in for the day. You remember the snow I told you about yesterday well it is still snowing and now over two feeet high. We couldn't get out of the doors this morning without shoveling. The snow is over the head and body of Beagle so he couldn't do his job til Uncle Gary went out and shoveled an area for him. I hear from the news that it may be over 100 there today so thought this might cool you off to hear how snowy it is here. Guess Port Huron got an ice storm instead of the snow. All is well here. I talked to Katelyn last night she was babysitting at Kelly's..she said to tell you she misses her cousin and thinks about you all the time. Well I could go on but better leave room for others who are missing their loved ones. Hurry home soldier we love and miss you!!

Message for 1SGT Tim Watson: I hope you get this eventually. I'm sure you are extremely busy. We have been watching Fox News non-stop since 9/11. Haven't seen you on camera, but you were quoted in the Columbus Dispatch, so we know you are there. Also, Tamera spoke to Marion the other day. If there is an address where we can send you mail, Camille says she wants to send you a throw away camera so you can take a picture of yourself and send it to her. Also, we want to send calling cards. We are very proud of what you are doing. We know you love jumping out of those planes and roughing it out in the field (although Tom thinks the MRE's are probably getting old). We know that you toughened up those soldiers of yours long before the war and that their parents and spouses should be confident that they have been trained by the smartest and the toughest! We'll see you when you get back to the States! Love --Tom, Candy, Camille and Brooke

I was lucky enough back in "72" that Uncle Sam never sent my dumb ass to Vietnam, and I sure as hell didnt go on my own. My greatest respect to all of you over there. My family amd I will keep you and your comrades in our daily prayors. Keep your powder dry and your head down. It hurts like hell to get shot in the ass they tell me, but you can always show off your war wound back home. In all honesty, keep up the good work and show the world what a real soldier is made of. God Bless to each and every one of you Ray& family

Cheryl told me about this site - we pray all is well with you. Not knowing when you will get mail, I thought I'd post updates here for you. Pillbug's party is tomorrow (SAT), even though she won't turn 10 until Monday. Durdle man is doing great - so very happy to only have to wear his retainer at night from now on! Boo is doing great with his reading and is growing leaps and bounds. That top front tooth STILL won't come out, though - no matter now much he wiggles and tugs at it! Macro is also doing great - he's loving school and is enjoying the dog and cat who have adopted us. Britches is almost unrecognizable -he's not much of a baby any more at all!! It's been getting warmer here, so of course I lowered everyone's ears last week. One of their new friends has a "Sgt. Mike" haircut, so now they want one too. I haven't submitted to that all the way yet - but they will all get their "styles" shorter and shorter over time. Probably by the time the temps. reach 100 on a daily basis, I'll just shave them. All, that is - except Pillbug - she'd have a FIT if I cut her hair - it's almost as long as mine now! My folks are out of town - which means that mom is well enough to travel - it's a reunion at Auburn - for Dad. Basically this means it's a fun trip for mom - there's only so much "business" dad can do at a reunion - there will be plenty of time for dancing and socializing too! AND - since they are out of town - I'll get to borrow Dad's truck - I'm getting two book cases and a rack tomorrow - YAY!! :) They all ask about you daily, and I check the news for the little people. Of course we pray for all of the US forces, but 173rd esp., and for your safety and success. We're all so proud of you - all of y'all! Stay focused. Stay safe.

I am searching for the identity of a USA solider that was deployed in Northern Iraq. He is one of the first 1000 paratroopers to be deployed to control the Harir airfield. March 27th I believe. This soliders pic. also appeared on MSNBC Exclusive content- Images of War March 27 03 pic.#9 and is still posted there today. I would really like to know who this gentleman is, as one day I would like to personally thank him for his bravery, his determination and his wisdom that will allow me, and many others, our freedom tomorrow. With many prayers and much love Sherri

Sgt. Geoff Evans 1/508 Hi Geoff!! Hope you are doing fine. The reports we hear in Indiana don't mention the north hardly at all. We hope you men have everything you need to stay comfortable and alert. Can't wait to see you again. We are talking about seeing Roberta. It would be nice to know what time to go. We got Matt's mustang running yesterday although there is no glass or front end. He was happier than he has been in a while. Emily came over and had buttons made of a picture of you that your mom made. Really nice! Your mom put a yellow ribbon on the tree in the front yard and someone at verizon made her a really beautiful quilt to hang in the window that we have someone in the service now- that practice started in WW2. I finally got ahold of Randy today and he is going to come over tomorrow. We haven't seen him for months. Your Dad gave us his number. We also placed Grandma Bak in a nursing home last Wed. It sure seems quiet around here as our family gets older and leaves. Pretty soon it will only be mom and me. Did you get any other verses memorized?? We have spent a lot of time praying for you and your guys. I wake up in the nite and pray for your safety. People at church are praying too. I'm very very proud of you. God bless you and all the guys there. Take care - we Love you Lawrence

And he talked about the burden that went along with the storied history of paratroopers. It's constantly being drummed into us-and we drum it into these guys- that you are better than regular soldiers," said Kahler "Inevitably, there is going to come a time when you have to prove that" He added: "Almost all war heroes have one thing in common.

Hey Richie Farquhar wanted to let you know it's still snowing in Northern Michigan. No splashing in Ocqueoc Falls today. We got 18 inches last night and more is on the way for tonight. Wouldn't be so bad but Gary's brother Fred took the snowplow off the truck on March 31 so Uncle Gary is out there with the John Deere moving snow with the loader. Bet you feel sorry for him.....NOT!! Your mom sent us you snail mail address last night so I'm assembling a goody box for you to mail out next week. I plan on going to Port Huron to take care of our income taxes so I'll check in with your mom and dad. God bless and protect you and your brave friends over there and get home soon and safe. We love you lots and support your efforts on our behalf and that of the whole country. What was Jamie referring to in her message about a yellow couch????? hugs Rich...love you.

We are even praying for your friends and fellow soldiers who are with you in Iraq. Everybody back home feels the same way. All of our friends ask about you every day. THEY CARE !!! Everyone cares !!!! Everyones prayers are with you and your fellow soldiers. Keep up the great work you are doing. We are watching the news daily so the updates on what is going on are pretty good. But man those reporters are nuts to be over there without a gun or some other weapon to protect themselves. Well I guess they have the best protection in the world..... our United States soldiers who are watching out for them. Be safe and God's speed son.

Subject: FW: Got Your Back I am a small and precious child, my dads been sent to fight... The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night. He will be gone too many days For my young mind to keep track. I may be sad, but I am proud. My daddy's got your back. I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war... My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black. I may be scared, but I am proud. My son has got your back. I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go. There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know. I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack... My heart may break, but I am proud. My husbands got your back... I am a soldier... Serving Proudly, standing tall. I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call. I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks. Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me who's got your back. To any who would protest the a war in Iraq, I say follow your own conscience. It is truly only you who knows how you feel. But in doing so I would urge all of you as good, godfearing, patriotic, AMERICAN citizens to "For Gods Sake" back up and stand by all of the people that are already over there preparing to give their lives for us and our way of life. Let us not have another Vietnam and all the callous hatred that our people had to come home to face. Please mail this to everyone you know regardless of how you feel about Iraq. I would love to have every American citizen stop and think about it and I know of no other way faster than this. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING WE CAN GIVE THEM!!!!! MY FAMILY AND I SUPPORT YOU!! PLEASE TRY TO COME HOME SAFE!! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! FAITH & LOVE The Hoagland's & The Mulrooney's

This message is for my husband 2Lt Perez, Ernesto 2/503rd Battle company 173rd Airborne Brigade. Your 3 beautiful children miss you very much and when we glance at the news hope to see your face or speak on CNN. Deanna cries often, Virgilio says he misses you, Salvador calls out "dada, dada" before we pray and when he wakes up because he' s used to doing those things with you. I have my OB appointment on the 8th of April. We probably won' t know our unborn baby' s sex until May or June. Our pictures turned out really great! It's the best family pix we' ve taken so far, if only we could post it online because we cannot send you mail as of yet. We hope and always pray that you will come home quickly. May God continue to bless you with wisdom, strenght, perserverance, endurance, peace in mind and good health along with your soldiers. May He bless your leadership! We love you and patiently wait for your return. God speed my love! Your wife for now and always, MARIA 04/04/03

Thank you for chivalriously putting your lives on the line for America and for the greater good of Free Iraq. Please know that me, my church and my friends are 173% behind you all. And that you all are in our prayers every week our Bible Study meets. Please allow me to pray Psalm 121 over you all. Psalm 121:5-8 The LORD watches over you-the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Godspeed, Erwin Wardojo on behalf of Heartland Community Church's FUSION Community

Capt. Jordan Becker--you don't know me, but my boss knows your Father. Your Father called me today and it was so nice to talk to him. He told me about this website and how great it is and a little about you. We talked about you and my son. I could tell from talking to him how much he and your Mother love you and how proud they are of you. I was so impressed; he even gave me his home phone number and your Mother's name. He told me I could call them any time and we both said we would call if we heard anything. It's so great to have so many people who care and are so supportive. My son had just gotten back from Afghanistan in July. I just wanted to let you know that we are all supporting each other in supporting all of you guys over there. My son is Sgt. Robert J. Anderson. He is in the 2nd 503rd also. He just went over to Italy in February. I don't really know where exactly he is and I worry so much as do his sisters. He is my only son. We worry about all of you-- are our heroes and we are so proud of what you are doing for us. May God Bless you and keep you safe. Hurry home! If you know my son, please tell him I love him and miss him.

Reading some of your exploits posted at this website. Just another message to let you know the people in the states haven't forgotten or taken for granted the sacrifice you make. Especially some old 'troopers of the HERD. Those of us from Vietnam are proud to call you our brothers. We know your actions will add another segment to our proud history. My earlier offer stands . . . a care package with essentials. Our understanding is that the Army doesn't want unsolicited packages. We're prepared to send a box of needed items. Whatis the deal with mail? Do you need stamps? It was free in our day. How about the phone card thing? Do you need cards to call home, etc.? Airborne Brother, Jerry

We will be trying to send you out some supplies or some money to help you while you are there. We have yellow ribbons up for you and all the other soldiers. We found out that Dwayne went back to Korea. We also pray for him and his family. We watched the 173rd jump out of the plane...I don't know if either of them was you, but I watched it anyway. You are on our minds every day. D.J. we are praying for your safety and for you to return home soon.

You wouldn't believe the great support I am getting from everyone at work. We are so very proud of you and all the troops who are fighting for our freedom. Do you know Capt. Jordan Becker? Mr. Penman told me his father is an attorney friend of his in SB. He told me that Mr. Becker would call me and he did today. He said his son is a Ranger and he is in the 2nd 503rd. We talked for a while and we just want to hear your voices and/or see your faces to know that you are okay. We worry so much. If you can find Capt. Becker, tell him about me. WE LOVE YOU AND ARE SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU! Take care of yourself and stay safe. Remember, we're going to have a big party when you get home.

God the Protector (Psalm 91) The words of Psalm 91 are some of the most beautiful words in the Bible. Look at them for just a moment: 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!" 3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. 5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; 6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; {But} it shall not approach you. 8 You will only look on with your eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked. 9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge, {Even} the Most High, your dwelling place. 10 No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. 12 They will bear you up in their hands, Lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the serpent you will trample down. 14 "Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him {securely} on high, because he has known My name. 15 "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and honor him. 16 "With a long life I will satisfy him, And let him behold My salvation." These are wonderful words of comfort. They speak of God as the Protector of those who trust in Him. They

LTC Randy George, Hey Randy. I emailed you this long letter on my aol.com email thing and I tried to send it, of course it wouldn't go because I got the wrong info/address. We are all thinking about you and your Troops, praying for you everyday. Of course when we are not at work we are glued to the TV. Tee and Patrick went to visit Ants and Buz 2 weeks ago to go snowboarding. The day they were scheduled to go Colorado had a blizard and the Denver Airport shut down. On the way back they missed their flight because Ants mixed up the times. They made it home safe and sound. We went to a Urology meeting in Savannah last week, it was beautiful. Everything was in bloom. We got our picture taken with Lady Chablis! (Did you read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? She used to be a He, that became famous because of the book. You'd never know she used to be a He.) The girls went to Charleston and stayed with Aunt Thelma and the boys stayed home alone. (the football coach lives next door and kept a very watchful eye on them) That's what's been going on here. I'll email you more as interesting things happen. Love, Aunt Tracey

It is a hold-your-breath day for those of us safe and staying cool in our homes in The States. We can only imagine what the deployed troops are feeling and thinking. The 173rd Airborne reminds us of the 3rd verse of AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL: "OH BEAUTIFUL FOR HEROES PROVED IN LIBERATING STRIFE, WHO MORE THAN SELF THEIR COUNTRY LOVED, AND MERCY MORE THAN LIFE. AMERICA, AMERICA, MAY GOD THY GOLD REFINE 'TIL ALL SUCCESS BE NOBLENESS, AND EVERY GAIN DIVINE." THANK YOU ALL!

SGT ADAMS,you have the eyes of my son and a twin in your unit. Your picture was posted on AOL and I thought it was SPC Gary Santiago,my son who is also in the 503rd/2nd. I have copies if you or your family would like them. Hopefully they will see my post and email me if not I will save them and send them to Italy for you. You make a handsome soldier! The only doubt I had about the picture was the ADAMS head band on the helmet. Take care of each other and kick Saddam in his nasty,no good,cowardly ass and bring our boys home safe and soon. We love you guys and are so very proud of you all. God Bless you and keep you safe,Marsha

Ya'll are doing a great job for the world and we really appreciate it. Not much going on here, but we are having some really nice weather. I am finally getting around to making the planting beds your dad designed for us. They are going to be really nice. I spoke with both your Mom and Dad last night. They are holding up very well. I read one e mail that said there would be one big Pellett party when you get home, and you can bet we will really rock. Grandmother and Granddaddy are keeping up with all your activities too. We all miss and love you! Keep your spirits up and kick some booty. Love Aunt Joan and Family P.S. Matt has decided when he grows up he wants to join the army too!!!

How awesome it was to see the 173rd on the news breaking open a new part of that P.O.S country (sorry, I get emotional). Teach them a lesson. We are all proud; so proud that Diana is making signs for the neighborhood. The flag is out everyday -if I could only find a yellow ribbon! The stores are sold out. Everyone is praying for your safe return. Be sure to pay attention. Will write again soon. Full of pride, Jim & Cinzia.

FOR ADAM ESPENHOVER, 508th Battalion-- Hey Adam--Remeber this summer when you left for Italy from JFK and that man who saw you waiting in line, asked if you were a serviceman. You said, "Yes Sir, I'm in the Army and I'm leaving for Italy." and then let you move all the way to the front. He said "You wait in line for no one, and on behalf of NYC I want to thank you for what you are doing for our country." Then he saluted you. Remember that when times are tough, because that is the way many people are feeling right now about how courageous and honorable you and your comrades are. The 173rd Brigade-the stories about you dropping from the skies into the night and the enemy forces moving back when they saw that is awesome Adam. You are a good soldier, a good man, and a wonderful son. We are planning a MOAP whe you return--the "mother of all parties!" Love, Mom

I cannot think of any greater unselfish act, than that of you and the thousands of others who have joined the different armed forces to serve your great country, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA!! I cannot even begin to know what all of you might be going thru right now, but take comfort in knowing that all of you are in our thoughts. I pray daily, as we all do, for you and all the men and women for a safe return home, and soon. I hope that when, and if, you get to see any of these messages, it brings you comfort in knowing that you are truly missed and loved very much. Please let your unit know they are all in our thoughts and prayers, and I hope that they too have messages here from their loved ones with words of encouragement, and if not, well we got enough for all of them too!! Stay warm and dry, and we hope to hear from you soon!! "Without COURAGE, we cannot practice any other virtue consistently."Maya Angelou Love You!! Aunt Pedo :)

DURING DESERT STORM IN THE EARLY 90'S I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WE STARTED WRITING TO A GROUP SO SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY. I STAYED IN TOUCH WITH THE ONE THAT I WROTE TO FOR YEARS. HE TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THE MOTIVATION AND GOOD SPIRIT THAT I GAVE TO HIM MADE HIM LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THE MAIL THAT HE RECEIVED MAYBE EVERY TWO WEEKS. HE TOLD ME ABOUT THINGS THAT HE HAD SEEN AND POURED HIS HEART OUT TO ME BECAUSE HE WAS JUST 20 YEARS OLD AND VERY SUPRISED WITH THE SITUATION THAT HE WAS PLACED INTO TO. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF WRITING WE LOST TOUCH. HE WAS MARRIED AND HAD A CHILD AND THEN THE MARRIAGE DIDNT WORK. HE FOUND THE LETTERS THAT I HAD WRITTEN TO HIM IN A BOX WHEN HE WAS MOVING AND DECIDED TO CALL INFORMATION TO GET MY PHONE NUMBER. AFTER NOT SPEAKING TO HIM FOR 8 YEARS HE CALLED ME OUT OF THE BLUE. WE MET FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME AND TWO WEEKS LATER HE MOVED TO THE CITY WHICH I LIVE. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE THEN AND ARE GETTING MARRIED IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. I KNOW THAT MY LITTLE LETTERS DID NOT HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF AMAZING INFORMATION IN THEM BUT THEY KEPT HIM THINKING ABOUT THINGS AT HOME AND MADE HIM LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK SAFTELY. BEING IN THAT SITUATION MADE HIM AN AMAZING MAN. HE IS STRONG MINDED AS WELL AS PHYSICALLY AND CAN ALMOST HANDLE ANY SITUATION THAT IS BOUGHT TO HIM. HE KEEPS ME CALM SOMETIMES WHEN I FREAK OUT. I REALLY WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU AND SUPPORT YOUR EVERY MOVE. I AM 26 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW THAT A MAJORITY OF YOUNG WOMEN MY AGE PROBABLY DONT HAVE THE SAME FEELING BUT I SUPPORT YOU GUYS AND WANT TO TELL YOU TO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU ARE AN AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE AND WE ARE PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU . I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT THINK WHY AM I HEAR BUT JUST LIKE MY FUTURE HUSBAND WAS PLACED THERE FOR A REASON MAYBE IT WAS TO COME ACROSS ME OR TO MAKE HIM A STRONGER PERSON WHICH IT DID. I AM VERY PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. OH YEAH BY THE WAY KICK SOME IRAQI ASS WHILE YOU ARE THERE GOOD LUCK LISA

For Aaron "Pretty Boy" Talley and Jonathan "Slim" Bell: We have a huge of box of stuff for you guys. SSG Gray tried to mail it but most of the stuff was violating a customs regulation and host nation sensitivities so when she gets back from the MP station we'll try to send another box. We know you asked for hair gel and some of that girly smelling soap you like, but is there anything else you want? I could send some cookies and a few Cosmo's (trust me, the guys there will LOVE it). When you're not busy could you please try to buy a rug for my living room. Angela wants one for her room. Make sure they're hand made and good quality-we don't want the cheap stuff. Also, one of those neat looking dresses that those women wear over there, but get it in blue. We wish you were here so that you could be put on the duty roster with us. Hope you get back soon because we all want to take leave. Ciao from Italy

To SSG GREGORY TRENT. Hi son, its your family in Bethlehem,PA. Just wanted to remind you that not a minute goes by that we don't pray and think about you, and all of your brigade. We promise to take care of Beth and the baby while you are away. I'll make sure if Jenn takes her shopping they go without any plastic cards so your battle pay is not completely squandered away at the mall. Meantime your father-in-law really did pass his Navy physical. Maybe they'll give him a desk job at Fort Dix. But he wants to go fight. If the Navy would let him I bet he'd be over there in a heartbeat. Anyway, we will keep posting our news on this site, and hope that you eventually see it and it cheers you up. Andy is walking around in cami 24/7. Every GI Joe he owns is fighting. Please come home soon. We love you and miss you. Mom,Dad and Andy.

Sgt. Clint Edward Mack, this is your Mother. I knew that would make your laugh. Just wanted you to know how very Proud I am of you and all the 173rd. We watch you on TV all the time. We did see you last friday night, we were so excited we could not believe it was you. We talk to Summer once a week and she is doing fine. I finally got my girlscout cookies and sent you 10 boxes. Summer said she would put them in the freezer for you. The news is saying you are all doing a wonderful job( we knew you would) There are so many people praying for you Clint! My co-workers are being so supportive, we are all wearing buttons with your picture on it with yellow ribbons (I made them) and we are now having t-shirts made up with your picture on the pocket with a yellow ribbon saying "come home safe" and the battalion number on the back I am sending one to Summer and you and Becky ect. in NC. Clint I am starting a support group for Mom's here in Gwinnett County, there is going to be an article in the paper this weekend. Well I have taken up enough of your time but wanted to get a little news in to you. I Love and miss you dearly. I know in my heart the Lord is going to bring all of the 173rd home to us safely. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand and protect and guide you all to Peace. You are my HERO CLINT. Love, Mom

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR SGT. CHRIS ERLER (1-508TH ABN "GO RED DEVILS!")- Hey Chris, this is your cousin Scott! Man, I am so darn proud of you! Me and my friends SUPPORT YOU GUYS 100% and the whole world can see that you guys are doing an awesome job and that we have the best trained military in the world. I want you to know that I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for you and your fellow troops for putting your lives on the line for the rest of the world, including me and my future family one day. I heard a quote the other day "Democracy begins in conversation". That may be true, but it is maintained through the blood, sweat, and tears of brave soldiers like you that defend that freedom with more than just words. I am glued to the tube everyday (FOX NEWS!) watching the war. It's funny, because even though I grew up in the military, the more that I watch the war, the more I appreciate you guys. I'm finishing up my 2nd yr of med-school, yet I have this deep conviction that as a physician one day, my contributions to making the world a better place shamefully shrink in comparison to the contributions that any of one of you makes on any given day. I guess the bottom line is, I don't think words do justice when it comes to explaining all the good that you guys are doing over there. I get angry when I hear people in the world, and even in America, that speak to the contrary. Then again, those types of people have pacified every dictator from Stalin to Hitler, and would be shot dead by the same people they so ignorantly defend. I guess one quote comes to mind when I think of their slimy cowardness: "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing-Edmund Burke" (..saw that quote at the end of that new movie Tears of the Sun) Well, we are keeping you, your fellow troops, and your families in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord protect you, keep you strong, and make your aim deadly and accurate. Come back soon to Frederica and Adam-I bet they miss you like crazy. God speed!-Scott

So many think of you.I know you are doing a wonderful job.Mike Kiernan and DBHS crew send love to you also.Never feel alone,our love and God's protection surround you.As soon as we have an address, we will send care packages.If you have soldiers who need anything,let us know..So many want to help and don't know how. I was in New York on the day the war began and stood at the 9/11 site at ground zero.It brought back the horror..one of the very things you are fighting to destroy.This nation, as with all wars, can never adequately express our gratitude to those of you there. I worry, as I'm sure we all do..but I have to remember you are a well trained young man who has prepared for this day for many years. May God be with you as is my love. Sherry

Hey Cesar, hows it going there? Here pretty good. I just wanted to let you and all the other airborne of the 173rd know that we are all pulling for you back here, and that you folks are the bravest people that we got. And remember that even though it seems like you don't have any backing i just want you to know that you do, you guys have the job of doing something that should have been done in 91, but thats a different story. The thing you need to know is that you are doing the right thing, just give it some time and the citizens of Iraq will follow, their just a bit uneasy bout the whole thing. So in short complete your mission w/as few a causualitys as possible and come back home and i'll buy you all a beer. Be safe, be carefull, be dilligent, and above all kick the Rigimes ass, and make sure that the citizens of Iraq are liberated once and for all. Godspeed, and good luck see ya all in a few. Your friend and companion Skip Pearson.

To Jason Johnson: Jason, Hello from Cataula, Georgia. Hope all is well with you. We have all been watching and reading, with intense interest, the happenings of the war on TV, in the newspapers and here on the internet. I talked to Lindsay yesterday and she told me about this web site where we can post messages for you. We are thinking about you and are praying for your victory and success but most importantly for your safety and eventual return to us here stateside. I just wanted you to know that Lindsay seems to be in great spirits and says the kids are doing great. Melissa is thinking about going there to visit her next month for a couple of weeks but is currently trying to figure out the logistics of traveling to Europe and taking off from her job. Hopefully all will work out for her to visit. Cathy also plans to go and visit sometime this summer and would like to go sooner, but I have her pretty locked up here chasing Emily and Austin around the great state of Georgia. Austin has been telling all of his friends about you going to Iraq and is quite proud of your work as we all are. He is certain that with only a few shoulder fired grenade launchers and an adequate supply of amunition for his assault rifle, that he could provide some assitance to you guys but I have told him that it would be quite unusual for the Army to allow an 11 year old into combat. HA! Anyway, we all support your efforts here and hope that your time in the field is limited. I asked Lindsay if there was anything that you all needed from us here and she seemed to have everything pretty well under control, which of course makes us all happy. I am sure that the press you guys have to keep in tow on your missions may be somewhat of a hindrance but you wouldn't believe the great press coverage you all are getting here. I know it is not all sugar sweet there, but the impression is that the machine is pretty well oiled. My partner here at the office, who is a former artillery guy in the Army based in Ft Knox many years ago, told me about their motto during conflict which I really liked and am sure you may have heard along the way "Plan deliberately and execute violently". I have always liked that motto and use it, certainly on a less lethal basis, during court battles and appraisals that I do HAHA! Anyway, keep working hard and know that we are thinking about you. Write us if you get any excess free time or just have some time but know that things are well here and we are praying for your safety. Adios, and keep the sand spurs out of your bdu's Rick

Another message for my son, PFC Brandon Altemueller. If only I had known when you were growing up that your constant leaping, jumping and falling when you entered a room was a mere rehearsal for all that you are doing now.....I probably would have still asked you to "stop it", but perhaps I would have been more understanding. I am proud of you honey! Get the job done and come home soon. Love, Mom :-)

JOHN PELLETT---I just caught sight of some messages for you from your Uncle Frank, on this board. Your friends from Dan West called to ask about you last night, so you may be hearing from them also. We think about you all the time. I had a long conversation with a prospective AFS student's parent last night---the family is hesitant to allow the son to go to Ecuador for the year because of some possible instability in the area. I could not get very excited about the dangers of Cuenca, Ecuador! Actually, the family seems to think AFS is a waste of their son's time, so probably they are just looking for an excuse to keep him home when he really wants to go. You and your buddies stay safe and know we care about all of you and want you all to come back safely. Lots of love, Mom, Dad, and Alex

Tanner Roy, First of all, please know everyone in the Sun River Valley continues to pray for the safety of your entire squad. We think about you daily. Talked to your mom and dad last night. Sounds like they're doing OK. I know your mom is really worried about you, but she sounded OK. Went to Emily's birthday party in town last month and I still contend she looks an awful lot like you. Not much new in Simms City. Tana Fleming will marry Trevor McGurran this August. Jake Gustafson, Ryan Leaf, Cody Skinner, and Truitt will be in the wedding. SArah, Dani Fleming, Sheena Rowley, and Simone Somebody will serve as brides maids. I hope you're home for the festivities. I promise, I won't try to line you up with anybody. Speaking of - I understand Melissa Gray is still available and there's a chance you probably won't have to convert to her religion. I better get back to work. All is well here. Mike and Bill went to Spokane to watch the first round of the NCAA men's regional games. They got to watch Conneticut, Wisconsin, Stanford, BYU, Weber and some others. Bill also got to ski in Utah in February. He got to go down the men's downhill at Snow Basin. He said that was great. Said the legs were a little wobbly and muscles burning when he reached the bottom, but said he was pretty proud of himself. I don't think he hit the course at 80 mph as the downhill racers do, but he claims it was close. Yea right - I know better. Take care and know we think of and pray for you every day. Please keep the gorillas out of your tent!! Colleen

Sgt. Chris Erler, Hey this is your cousin Shawn. How are you doing? I'm pretty well. I don't know if you got my letter that I sent you about three weeks ago or not. I really don't even know if you ever got my email I sent you a long time ago. In case you didn't I told you congratulations on your baby boy Adam. I never thought you'd be the first to have one. That's great man. First of all I just want to say that I am really proud of you and the job that you are doing. I talk about you a lot at work and about what the 173rd is doing and what is going on. I have been following all of the events going on in the war. I heard that you guys had a quick and rough landing but that you are alright. I am praying for you and your group you are with. God is with you and protecting you. I really feel that what you are all doing is important for our country and for Iraq's as well. I am praying that this war will go as quickly as possible. I look forward to seeing you again. I am still working at Gateway and am currently writing a book. Its going to be a joke book. If you want to here any of my jokes let me know. Here is a joke for you. What is the new theme song for the NHL? Take me out to the brawl game. Ha. Ha. Hope that you get this message well. If you get it could you please respond and also let me know if you got my letter. God Bless you, your group, and our great country America that you are all defending from another 9/11 happening to. Talk to you later. Your cousin, Shawn Go 173rd!

To Matt Baden: Dear Matt. Just a note to let you know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers and we love you very much. We are doing fine here. Lanny had surgery for an aortic aneurysm last week. He is doing fine and is home. Saw Jodi last week and watched the kids for her. She is tired but doing okay. Haven't seen Josh for a while, but I guess you know he bought a house several months ago. Saw Rachel this week and she is doing okay also. Erin is doing okay. Back in school. She is a senior now. We had a huge snowstorm 2 weeks ago. About 40 inches!!! I was in Grand Junction where they didn't get a flake! Had to stay over for a week because I couldn't get home. Jim says I did that intentionally so I wouldn't have to shovel snow. Hope you are doing well. Look forward to hearing from you when you can. We love you. Mom and Jim

A prayer from one dear friend for another... Heavenly Father, I come you to right now in prayer for Captain Thomas McNally. Lord I ask that you will place angels of protection around him. Father heighten his senses, and his spiritual discernment. Lord give him wisdom and let no harm come to him or those around him. I pray Lord that you will give him peace. Teach him to love you, trust you and draw closer to you than he has ever been. Lord protect his family, give them peace. I pray that you will speak assurance to their heart that you are still in control. We know that absolutely nothing can come to us without your approval. We trust you Lord and we are depending on you to answer this prayer. Father I just want to thank you for Thomas and his family. Thank you Lord for the sacrifices that they are making that I may know the freedoms that I have. Lord may I always remember those that give of themselves that I may have a better life. I ask your blessings on Captain McNally and his loved ones. In Jesus Precious Name... Amen We love you Tom and Elise, you are always in our prayers, Love, Jeanne and Tim

Dear soldiers of the 173rd: It is with great pride that I write to you today. Those of us at home watch your progress with intense interest. You are engaged in fierce conflict against an evil and heartless regime, run by a mad and ruthless dictator. Your actions are serving to rid the Iraqi people of a tyrant, whose wickedness rivals that of history’s worst despots, against whom we have fought, and eliminated, in prior wars. The Iraqis will soon be free! You serve to protect the greatest country in the world. You fight in support of our country’s sacred ideals. You fight to preserve freedom and justice. You fight to allow the rest of us to live in safety and security. You fight to rid the world of an evil man who would perpetrate acts of evil against us, and our friends, if given a chance. Well, Saddam Hussein will no longer have that chance, thanks, in great part, to you. Your commitment and sacrifice is greatly appreciated by those of us who eagerly listen to the news to hear of your exploits, to perhaps hear the mention of your name, or to get a glimpse of your face. For your name is one honored by us, and your face is that of one cherished by us. WE, at home, who love and care for you, and pray for you each minute of the night and day, wish for your safe and speedy return. We believe in what you are doing and WE BELIEVE IN YOU!

Jarod, Thank you so much for keeping my family and me safe from harm. You and all the soldiers are heros in my eyes and the eyes of others. So many at Pine Crest are constantly asking about you and have so much respect and admiration for you and all the soldiers. They keep your dad busy with updates each day. Your dad wears his pin each day to show his respect for you. His trees are surrounded with yellow ribbons and American flags and the neighborhood is following also. Your dad is so very proud of you and he glows when asked about you. Remind me to tell you how he chased down someone with an anti-war bumper sticker last week and gave him a hand signal...ha.. It is so awesome how the 173rd jumped in "because you could" as was so well explained by one of your commanders. God is with you and will keep you safe from harm. Keep your head up and remember how many people love you and are praying for you. Your Mom and Dad are to be commended for raising such a fine young man as you. They are so proud, as I am by just knowing you. To know you is my honor. Darryl, James, and Will send their love and prayers. Love Dana

I remember when I was told that you looked up to me because I was a cop. Well, the shoe is on the other foot now and I am saluting you and the fellas. I saw you on CNN the night you guys did the jump. You looked and sounded great! All of my fellow officers at work also send their regards. Stay safe and hurry home. Love your cousin, Scott

I hear Congrats are in order for you...I just scanned your military pic for msn (I think) Your parents wanted to send it in because they put up different pictures of our boys every night on the news. You and all of the guys you're with are in our thoughts and prayers every day and every night. All we do is check news to see if we can gauge when you're coming home. Patience is in order! Tim says hello, he loves you! Do what you have to do, and bring yourselves home safely! with love, Autumn

We have kept up with the movements of the 173d in northern Iraq through the news and wonder what your days are like a world away from here. You and your buddies are there on the frontline to do a job that few have the abilities or strength to perform for people whose faces you will never see many of. Please know how much you are appreciated and admired, and you and your deeds will be a part of each of our days until you are safely home again. Be well, be safe, be strong.

paul gonzalez you big stud carrie told me i could write you a message this way. how cool! well as always i just wanted to let you know that i´m thinking about you. i was looking at all the pictures posted on this website, but i couldn´t find you. hmmm, i´ll keep looking another day. things in bolivia are pretty good i guess. my work is kind of at a standstill at the moment, but i am going to begin helping train the new education volunteers in may. for some reason administration thinks i am that qualified? i have no idea why, but i will say that sexual favors had nothing to do with it. :) ok paul, i had better go. i just got a call from my roommate (yes i have a cell phone in peace corps. i´m not exactly roughing anymore!) anyway, i need to meet him for dinner. gotta feed the belly. i wonder if food in iraq is anywhere near as bad as food here in bolivia? i hope you get this message. now i will go drink a beer in your honor. take care of yourself. hugs! amy

SSg Brian D. Gemmill: Dear Brian: I'm so glad to have a way to contact you. Things are going well here. I have been getting fairly regular temp work, but no "real" job yet. GrandMom is doing OK for her condition. Last month, she called me 7 times before my birthday to wish me a "happy birthday". When the real day came, she didn't even remember it. However, she seems happy enough. Thankfully, the Alzheimers makes them forget that they forget!!! She talks of you often. She is so proud of you and that you named your son after Daddy. We still have not told her you are in Iraq. We are afraid it would upset her too much--and she would also drive us crazy calling many times a day as she wathches the news. She is still a news junkey. We may have to tell her sometime, if she connects what she hears on the news with your unit. Our kitten was nutered about 10 days ago. She has had to wear one of those plastic cones over her head to keep her from licking and infecting the wound. She walks really funny when she has it on. Maybe it disturbs the natural cat's balance. I have felt so sorry for her. But toady she is free of it. Tracy and Chris cooked me a Beef Stroganoff dinner last night for my birthday. They gave me a new FoodSaver, since I wore my old one out. I love that product so much that they think I shoud be on the infomercial for it. Keep your head up and your back covered. Granddad would be very proud of you. I am sure he is watching over your now. Love you always, Mom

Wish I was there. The last 173rd combat jump was Junction City in Vietnam, about two months after I rotated out. About the same time I had a Mae West at Fort Campbell and wound up in the hospital for three months with a fractured back. I would have rather jumped in Junction City. Best wishes.

Thomas Reyna II, I am a friend of your father's. He and my husband served together in VAQ-132 about 20 years ago. I want you to know that we at home are praying for you, and thinking of your safety and return home. My nephew is with the Marines over there. We all seem to know a family member or friend with ties to what's going on. Things in Anacortes go on as usual. At the elementary school where I work, the kids are running and playing, working hard at learning, and having fun being kids. I have a new grandson who is 2 months old now. He is the joy of my life. His father is in the Navy and isn't scheduled to go out until July. We are hoping things will be calmer by then. Keep your spirits up and keep the sand out of the 'crevices'! Cathy

...TO THE 1/508TH, SPECIALLY TO THE HHC / MAINTENANCE PLATOON; You guys have demonstrated to have real guts in front of the whole world for the mission you have just taken. I’m extremely confident you will make it happen. 12 years ago and about 40km northwest from your location (Zakho), was were I jumped during Provide Comfort Op. I assume that a lot of those young Kurdish soldiers you guys are working with and their family still had some kind of freedom thanks to the intervention of the Airborne Troopers back then. They are very nice people that have not been given the chance and freedom to succeed. Once in 1991, they felt like a legion of angels came from the skies to their rescue from an evil Dictator and again history repeats itself. I'm very proud of you guys. To the Chief!...you always taking care of the guys, so all I ask is to bring every single one of them back in one big piece. Big Daddy, keep'em together and instill on them, to look out for each other. Hopefully I'll be back soon and will join you guys…till later. Hard Rock Rodriguez.

It should air tonight. I will have a copy of it so you can see it when you have access to VHS. I'm taking good care of Margaret. She went to supper with us last night at Ween's for MacKenzie's first birthday. Everyone is asking about you. You probably will have more mail than you can handle. Everyone wants to do something for you. You are loved by many and appreciated for what you are doing. I've started "Operation Hugs from Home" and will explain more in a letter.

I am italian and I have been living in Vicenza for many many years. Now I live in Rome. So, I know Ederle and I have some good friends there, who are now in Iraq. I apreciate a lot what you are doing for everybody and for thier democracy. You are all wonderfull. I just want you to know, guys, that a lot of italian love you, eventhough they show on tv just a small part of us in stupid exibitions asking for Peace. If anyone wants to write to me, asking news, greetings (even a rock from Coliseum or Holy Pope's photo..from Rome), or anything else could make easier your hard life, I'll do what I can for making your life a little bit better. Take care, barbara
