My prayers go out to all those at Fort Hood during this tragedy. Being from Wisconsin, it is affected us having, I believe it was 2 or 3 brave soldiers killed or injured that are from here. I can't imagine what those families are going through, but I can only pray that they find peace and understanding (if that is possible). To all of them MY THANKS for what their loved ones gave and are still giving for us and this country. Your daughter is to be commended for her bravery, and please send holiday greetings to her from ICFN Brook's family in Wisconsin. God will keep her safe. Jan
I saw your question about mailings. My daughter Katie is in Sasebo Japan on the USS Essex. I mail all her packages with the APO/FPO Flat rate military boxes you get at the USPS - they discount the size $2 to $11.95 for the military. You can go on=line and have the boxes and forms sent to your home for free in packets of 10. Where is your daughter?
Hi Maria. My name is Susan and we are from Fort Worth. I read in the Navy Reservist forum that your daughter is in NMCB22. I've been looking for other mothers in the same unit! My son is in the NMCB22 and is a diesel mechanic. He is leaving next month for Gulf Port and seems really really sad. I am so new to all of this and didn't know if our kids would ever cross paths? How does your daughter feel about deploying? I think I feel more sad about my son feeling sad than I do about him leaving. Didn't think that was possible. Guess I need a little uplift from another mother! Have a great evening! Susan
Hi Maria. I am from Houston. My daughter is now an active reservist, stationed in Mass. She was in Gulfport before that, and 10 mnths in Okinawa. I have been to the base in Gulfport with her, and it is pretty neat. Best wishes, from Tammie in Houston (Mother of Lizzy Stamper)
My son has been in Iraq for 2 months. I signed up for facebook and i can talk to him when he is on...also, when his room is hooked up we downloaded yahoo messenger so that he can call my home phone from thaat site. He did this when he was in texas...kuwait....and when hooked up...Iraq...AT&T global is the phone card that I bought for now..$27.00 for 550 minutes which translates to around 100 minutes.....Now that my son is there the pressure seems to be gone...I pray for him...he is master at arms...but I know he is where God wants him...He's tired but would do it all again...he has made many good friends and 2 months is already almost up. I believe they come home for 2 weeks somewhere in the middle of their deployment. So my son will be home in August then finally home somewhere in December.Try not to worry...The days leading up to the deployment are much worse than the deployment itself...God Bless you all and especially our children!
Maria,
Just checking on you to see how things are going. I found another mom from Lubbock! Her name is Vicki. I will find out when the next Lubbock Marine Parent Meeting is so we can crash the party! Email me at innkeeper@woodrowhouse.com when you get the chance.
Hey thanks for the welcome. I don't know how you feel with your daughter being gone, my son has not left yet, but I find myself crying already. I had him when I was 18 and we are really close. My husband keeps telling me to quit crying, and I just can't understand how he functions everyday knowing that our son is leaving. I am proud of him, but I am sad he is leaving, I am litteraly torturing myself by counting down the days. I will be on late during the weekends, so I will look for you. Thanks again
Good Evening everyone, Just wanted to cry for a little while, I know that it has to happen and I know that God will Take Care of her for me,...but it is just so hard for me to think of having to help my 20 yr old daughter make out her will, I know that some of you have gone throug this or are going through it now,...but I know it will be okay, I just needed someone else that knows what I am going through to tell me its going to be okay...(you know)!
Hi! Maria, how are you. I agree with you I just wish that they would let the economy rest for a little while and spend more time on the military and what is happening there,..but God knows their hearts and will take care of it all.we
just have keep praying for them. God Bless !
hello everyone I am so sorry that i have not been online for sometime, she is young and did not know what to do or expect, when she came back from boot camp and had her first meeting she was like mom I don't know what to do or what questions to ask, so I just asked if she wanted me to go and she said yeah that wld be great, so I did and I sat there next to her, but I let her do the talking and if she looked at me I wld write down the question for her to ask so it was like she was doing it all and I was only there for support, so maybe your son wld like for you to go just for support, or maybe just write questions down that you think of that might be good to ask...and go from there...
hi
I read that you went with your daughter to her first meeting. I doubt my son would of wanted me there,but it sure is a good idea!!!
Well, he received some money in his account, but it is not his bonus. He questions this amount. I told him please talk to someone in finance to find out EXACTLY about his pay. and what to expect. Right now he is just guessing about everything!!!
