Dear Friends,
Sherry and I had anticipated attending the class reunion, but we will be unable to because of an upcoming job relocation within the next 30-45 days. My contract here in Germany is expiring and I'm not sure whether my job will be in Europe or the States. I'm in a great situation because it's not whether I will have a job, it's where my job will be so I'm blessed. We were looking forward to celebrating our 34th anniversary with all of you it also happens to be on 4 September. Since we're unable to attend we decided to spend the weekend in London. We are enjoying our stay and at 7:30pm tomorrow your time I will extend a toast to all of you although it will be 12:30am here. I probably won't be feeling much pain after sipping on several glasses of cognac :-) It seems as though whenever there was a class reunion I was either deployed or training for a deployment. As you all celebrate the class reunion please remember the men and women most of them young who are serving in our armed forces. Many are finding themselves in harms way either in Iraq or Afghanistan, or waiting for deployment to either one of those locations. In honor of them I ask you keep them and their families in your prayers. Unfortunately war is ugly and painful resulting in many injuries. As I mentioned in my profile I see many of the wounded and every now and then glimpse a a plane on the flight line at Ramstein Air Base carring the remains of a service member who lost his/her life. Our country has been involved in the longest war in it's history, I pray one day soon our fighting warriors will return home. Some of you have served, or are serving or have children who are serving in the armed I salute you. I hope all of you enjoy yourselves, be safe and hopefully I will see many of you when I return.
