That unit was so hard hit, I'll never forget them, and I pray their families are finding peace someway to continue their lives with some degree of peace. 

Blessings to all our Gold Star families. Thanks for sharing TNM.

I am always missing my Sailor while he is in the sandpit but especially at this time of the year. Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Heart breaking news to read of 16 dead in the crash of a Marine plane in Mississippi. My heart and prayers for all those who lost their lives and their families who were waiting at home for them, as well as those with whom they served.

With 4,000 troops headed to Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan, we need to fire up this board again. I hate that. But...if you know moms or family members of those folks deploying to combat zones, please share this group with them. We do not care with whom they serve...Navy, Army, Marine, Air Force...we're here for the support of the families and loved ones. We've been there, some are still there...and we are here to make sure no one feels alone in this frightening journey.

This is so heartbreaking, I cannot imagine the pain these families are in. 

More info on donations here, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Yokosuka, Japan. When I was a child, when my dad died, Navy Relief helped us out so much, they are really there to serve our sailors and families in need. 

DONATING TO NMCRS: The Yokosuka community, as well as the global USS FITZGERALD family, is generously pouring support to the Sailors. NMCRS Yokosuka is directing donated goods through Command Leaders to get the donated goods directly to the Sailors; and is also providing financial assistance to Sailors.

NMCRS accepts cash, check, and credit card donations at any time. Donations in cash or check that are donated locally will be marked for the Fitzgerald Disaster and receipts provided, and donations made online by credit or debit card can be marked the same way with a note in the box provided. We cannot track the funds after that point. NMCRS provides the support needed by the Sailors regardless of the funds raised locally; all funds donated help our organization provide the support here and in future times of need. NMCRS is 100% funded by donations.

LOCAL: Locally, we can take donations at our office from 0900-1500 this week, 3rd Floor of the Community Readiness Center (AOB, Library).

TennMom,

May your son's friend, HM Long, and all those who have died in defense of our country, never be forgotten. I think seeing HM Long's face and reading his obituary makes it even more personal. Only 19 and his high school sweetheart became a widow.

I copied Marcy's two care package lists last night and sent them to my son. He said the only thing he wanted was drink mixes so we set off for Dick's and found three flavors. Sent him text asking which flavor he wanted and included a pic of slingshot on sale as a joke. Should have known he was serious when he said he wanted it since he had me ship him Nerf guns and darts on his last deployment. Think he is bored. Only thing he has been treating is Strep and diarrhea. I like it calm like that.

It has taken the care package we sent him on March 3rd from Pensacola to get to Chicago and sit there until the 8th. I assumed the overseas part of the mailing journey would be the slow part, not getting it out of the US. BUT, I assume this will be quicker than when I had to mail things to a guy in another State to put in a crate that was then shipped to his location. Life of a Navy Mom.

Tenn Mom, I know exactly how you feel with your tiny grandson so far away! I'm hoping my daughter-in-law will brings the kids to for the summer and pray my first granddaughter's mom is too busy at her new billet to have her daughter for the summer.

Jersey Susan, is your AF son in Germany? On way to deployment location, my son's group spent a week in Germany. We lived there a total of 12 years there so he still thinks of it as home.

I love a man in blue, whether Navy or Air Force since I am an Air Force brat and a Navy Mom.
