Our son Pat (just returned from Iraq) was down the Phillies game tonite on the field for the opening ceremony. He is one of the soldiers that went to Iraq with the Stryker Brigade from Pa. Shame it was so rainy becaue the military was going to do a little more on the field. We are happy he is home after his second tour of the big sandbox!

That was a tough time around here. Elizabeth MacDonald was right,You did'nt have to look far for a shoulder to cry on. Rockville Centre is a great town with alot of great people.

In remembrance, I humbly thank all who are keeping us safe and able to do what we do in this great country.

As it's been said before, "All gave some, some gave all". God bless America.

Just got off the phone with a young E-5 from Ft. Drum, NY...he was wounded in Afghanistan. He is currently in a rehabilitation battalion attached to the 10th Mt. Division. He is one of the guys going into the woods next week with me...there are 3 from Ft. Drum and one from NYC.

We talked a little about his combat expereinces...these guys are something else...real heros. They are all excited about the trip...he said he won't sleep between now and Thursday.
