(And yes, non-believers, even with a name like mine we're friends {8^P.) We took care of them last year through the holidays (and by that i mean from before Thanksgiving until the mail cut off end of Feb) and we're adopting again this year. Yep ~ you heard that right ~ SAME Marines, same station. They run the unmanned drones and, since there's only two units PERIOD, they rotate in and out of country <em>every 6 months</em>. (one of their young captains is on his FOURTH tour.) So they left Iraq in March and got back there mid-September. That's a LOT to ask of anybody, but they just pack up and go, bless their hearts. Like I wrote you, taking care of our little unit is for the folks who remember what getting YOUR name called at mail time is all about. If it's just a note for one Marine every couple weeks to packages ~ whatever one can do ~ we are so tickled and grateful for every last thing that heads overseas to them. Thanks hugely for the post, big guy. <em>HUGE</em> ly. Oh, BD, thank you so much! (And yes, non-believers, even with a name like mine we’re friends {8^P.)
