Katie,

I'm so glad to hear from you, I always worry about our troops and when you have someone you care about over ther it makes it so hard to hear the news of losses and always wonder if you knew them.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friends, I am sure that they were wondeful people and feel the sadness that their passing has left for so many.

Please stay safe and do come back to us.

Post us when ever you can and remember we all love you and are praying for your safe return.

Love ya,

Sally

Katie glad to hear that you are doing okay and that you are safe. I am sorry to hear that you lost 5 friends, I know how it is because I lost people I knew and considered friends when I was over there. It is always hard to hear about any of our brothers or sisters giving the full sacrifice and they will always be remembered. I know that you and everyone else over there is still making a difference :D . Stay safe girl and keep us updated with how you are doing.

Hi Katie,

Stay safe over there and come home safely. I am sorry about your friends. I will keep them as well as you in my thoughts. My brother completed two tours of duty in Iraq and is being deployed for a third. I have so much respect and appreciation for all that you and our troops do and have had to sacrifice. Thank you! Please stay safe!

Be sure you let me know when you are coming back, I'll reserve the members lounge and we'll have a big Texas B-B-Q beef dinner with all of the trimmings and some tacos and of course cake and lots of cold drinks (if someone will volunteer to gaurd it from the youngsters we might just find a bottle of Champaign somewhere!). :)

That is the best news that I have heard - I wish it was tonight but at least you know it is coming.

Love ya,

Sally

Katie....

I'm overjoyed that you will be home in a few months.....will you also be close to being out altogether? In 'Nam we all talked about the day that we would go back to "The Real World", home, the States...That's where you will be headed, too.....The Real World....

I'll help Sally with that B-B-Q and we'll have a real time, Katie!

Waiting......

donna jean...

im only out to my friends, im going to try to see a therapist when i get back, but im not going to actually make any physical changes till im out. im trying to play it safe. when i get out i'll be free as a bird, im opening my own tattoo shop, and one of my best friends (he's in iraq with me) inherited alot of money from his grandfather who died(he's now one of the richest people from iowa). he's going to help open the shop with me and help pay for my transition. i've had a long time to think of my master plan, and backup plans. so im really excited.

Well I thought that coming home was the best news I had ever heard, but now I realize that coming home to a bright future is even better! :)

My day started going bad yesterday at about 2:45 and just kept getting worse until I got to this post!

I can't wait for you to get home and get your start on a real life!

Love ya,

Sally
