Hi Molly, I really like it. M.A.A.S Operation Handle with Care. I'm headed to pick up some cards now. Thanks Brenda Sue! This will be a fantastic addition. As much as we wish we didn't have to do it, we'll do a heck of a job with it, and we'll help ease some of the strife that they are going through in their life. Thank you. Thank you!

Molly and Brenda, Thank you so much for getting this together. I wish there was not a need for it but there is. I hope to get some cards in the mail by Tuesday. Of course my prayers are with these families. Just so tragic.

Just dropped cards in the mail for each of the above... thanks to each and every mom that reaches out! While this page is filled with heartbreaking stories, I am warmed to my very core knowing how much love and prayer is being sent their way!

Hello everyone. There is a young man that passed away that lived close to where I live. I have been able to find out the family address and phone number from America Supports You Texas. I have called but haven't gotten an answer yet. If I can't get an answer tomorrow, I will be willing to put my name and address here so that you can send cards c/o me and I will make sure they get them. Here is a link to a little of the information.

Wow, I may have to take a break every once in awhile as this gets a little emotional.

Navy sailor dies of pneumonia in Afghanistan

12:51 PM EDT on Thursday, July 9, 2009

NORFOLK -- A sailor initially based on the Norfolk-based USS Iwo Jima died in Afghanistan.

Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Darren Ethan Tate, 21, of Canyon, Texas, contracted pneumonia while part of a training team in Afghanistan.

He was taken to Bagram Air Base, where he died July 8.

He was originally assigned to USS Iwo Jima, but he left the ship in August 2008 to begin training for Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan. The team does training of host nation military and civilian.

Tate joined the Navy in June 2006; went from recruit training to technical traning command. He arrived aboard USS Iwo Jima in December 2006.

The ship is planning memorial service aboard USS Iwo Jima. She's overseas left in June.

Tate's body is expected to arrive at Dover Air Force Base Thursday evening, a federal government source tells 13News.
