This won't be much today. I'm out of town with the kids, seeing Mr. Assassin off on his new adventure. My husband's Reserve Unit has been called up. In two days he boards a bus to Ft. Dix in New Jersey. Then, in July, he heads off to Iraq until May 2010.
So this won't be a typical post because technically, I'm sort of on a vacation. I won't really be able to check in much since we are going to have briefings, a barbecue and the kids will get to play with real, automatic weapons.
He will be deployed with a Special Operations force as part of a Psy Ops unit. One of the crests of his units is "Win With Words." At least that makes me smile.
Until next week, when I promise, I'll be funny again.

You guys are the best. I was afraid to look at this - that I might cry - but what the hell. I'll have Mr. A post a final comment tonight. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy stepdaughter's husband will be leaving soon for his third deployment to Iraq. He's in Indiana right now waiting to leave.
ReplyDeleteLeslie, I'll pray every day for Mr. A. Please know that YOU are my hero, as well, for the sacrifices YOU are making so that your husband can protect my freedom. I'm here for you! -- Cousin Wendy
