Thanks for all you guys are doing for us just stay safe, my nephew is getting ready to go back over for his 3rd tour and we always worry about him. I hope you get your dream 5er when you come back.
Now I am still jealous about your first camping trip my camper is still buried in snow.
Wow, 3rd tour, makes it tough on the family. Tell him to be safe. If he is the Camp Liberty, Slayer, Stryker, area, Coffee is on me! My dream 5er, with the help of all of you, you know I will get one.

My son is currently in Basic Training at Ft.Benning. All of you guys have a special place in my heart. Thank you for what all of you are doing. Without guys like you, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the simple freedom of camping. Be safe, and hope to see that you are soon back in the good ole USA enjoying your family. God Bless you!
Cindi & David - Have you been able to talk with your son? How is he doing? Tell him we are very proud of him, from all the Men & Women that are currently over here! I have shared the information from this forum with everyone here.

Although they aren't being shot at, they give up a lot so that you can be there protecting us. Would love to be camped next to you and yours down the road. Thanks again. Guess I'll quit complaining about the cold too. Sharon
Sharon,
Thank you and no need to quit complaining about the cold. I talked to my wife this a.m. and she did the same. She said it snowed last night, as they are in Germany right now. Ten more days and I should there also. Thanks for remembering my family, as yes, like all family's that have ones deployed, they do give up a lot. I will be going from one extreme to another, although temperatures have been very mild here. 90's for the high, and down in the 50's at night. Now, Kuwait, wow, last August when I was there, Temperatures reached 130 degrees, add 30mph winds, feels like an oven.
Take care, hope things warm up enough to make your camping enjoyable.

Dogs wandering aimlessly in the snow banks...........YES!!!!!
Hey! Our dogs are wandering and slipping on the icy snowbanks too! Whitewater, WI is south of me yet.... we are freezing our butts in Northern Wisconsin--- where they just predicted MORE snow tomorrow!
And to you Refloyd: THANK YOU!!!! What you and your family so selflessly give up, it's soooo wonderful that you are giving for us folks who sit and complain! If you and your family ever get up in the Wisconsin neck of the woods, we know lots of good camping places.... and would be honored to share a campfire with ya!

Karen,
Thanks and my family thanks you. We have camped all over the Northwest, never have we camped up in your part of the world. We will bring the Marshmallows and hot chocolate.

Hey,
Thanks, I would enjoy shaking your hand! My family and I are looking forward to returning to the USA, the fall of 2009. We plan on moving back to Walla Walla, WA. Keep those camp fires going!
JohnG3, we know the feeling. Paid for a seasonal site last summer-fron sunday night until Friday afternoon we were the only ones in the CG. We just went home on the weekends. I echo what's been said about refloyd. THANKS. Hope when you get ready to buy your 5er that the dealer recognizes what you've done for us(and him) and gives you a TREMENDOUS buy on one.Gary
So,
I made it back to my home away from home (Germany) last Saturday. It was quite a trip, not for sure if the Blackhawk ride to Balad or the trip down the autobahn was more exciting. But what really got me, and I know this will be something that I will never forget. Was coming back from Balad Iraq, I caught a Medi-flight to Ramstein Germany. There was an America Flag hanging in the back of the C17. After we landed, each soldier that was on a stretcher had the soldiers that were carrying them pause as they were being carried out, so that they could reach up and touch the flag. I couldn’t move, tears streaming down my face. And now when ever I see Old Glory flying, I remember that moment. What bravery, courage, and sacrifice, all captured in a memory that I have, of heroes touching a piece of cloth…..
