Send a card to a soldier from Xerox!!

This is s cool thing to do....you can't send it to a specific soldier, but it will be sent out with your name and town on it!  Pass this on to everyone you know!  Jack (and all of the kids in his class) did it in his computer class at school! I love it!

 Hey guys, cool article...even looks like a pic of Dave near where they have his quote!  You might have to scroll around to find things about them, just look for TF Red Horse or 1-113th out of Iowa.

Hello

Hi guys!  Dave is doing well. We haven't heard much from him, he has been very busy! (Although, he just told me that he ordered a poker chip set, so I am assuming that he is thinking he will have some spare time some time!) We get emails here and there, and they are usually short. He is a bit upset with the fact that he isn't able to go out on patrol with his men every time they go out.  Just like Dave...he wants to be out there in it too!   He hasn't been able to look into Skype yet.  ***If you guys don't know what that is, and don't have it, it is a wonderful free video/audio way of talking to people from afar!  We love it!  We chat with our friends in the Czech Republic and Greece as well as Iowa sometimes!****If he wants to do it, he may have to pay a fee of $70.....I don't remember if that was a one time fee, or what.  I will let you know if he does get it!  Although, they are 9.5 hours ahead of us, so it would take some planning to do! 
The kids and I are planning on spending a quiet Christmas here at home.  My sister Terry, (who moved in with us about 4 months ago) is braving the Illinois and Iowa winter and driving home to Spencer Iowa to be with her kids and hubby for the holiday!  We will see if she makes it back!  Any bets????
If I don't post again before hand, be sure to have a great Christmas (or what ever you celebrate) and New Year!  Think of Dave and all of the guys over there, and maybe have a toast for him while eating dinner!

Love to you all, take care!  :O)

President in Afghanistan

Hi all, in an email, Dave wrote:

"If you did not know, the President came to Bagram Airfield. As Bagram
falls in the Province of which I am the battle space owner I and my task
force were responsible for the security of the ground around the field.
We spent a few days with increased patrols and then really stepped it up
before the arrival.

Must have worked - no rockets or mortars while he was here ... of course
the fact that it was windier than heck certainly does not help the
accuracy of the incoming fire ;)"
