Mike, buddy how I wish I could have been there with you! I cried when I read your post. That Colleen is some kind of lady! Please give her a huge soldier's hug from me. My heart is bursting with joy and pride over those children. I know all of our fallen comrades would be very proud of Colleen, you and those great kids!

I have to tell you that the folks on this site are no doubt the salt of the earth. I salute you and may "God Bless you Everyone"!
Have a great holiday compliments of those who gave the last full measure of devotion.

If I could show you a picture of the best part of being a soldier this would be the photo: [url=http://www.shadetreemechanic.com/images/mil%20gi%20me%20Five.jpg:20a20]http://www.shadetreemechanic.com/images/mil%20gi%20me%20Five.jpg[/url:20a20]
