A Message from My Daughter - Support the Troops.

Support for our troops enters the 21st century…text messaging! See the e-mail below.

In addition, if you all could keep two of my friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Capt. Jason Garneau just left for Kuwait to process in for his second tour in Iraq. He’s working with the Iraqi army on training…OJT I guess as his unit is following them around in Humvees. Jason, his wife Helen, and I are all good friends from college. Yes, there are a few of us who survived ultra-liberal UW unscathed.

Corporal Bret Freeman, brother of my friend Skyla. Bret’s a college sophomore who decided to enlist in the Marine Corps…extremely brave and totally reckless all at the same time. Skyla is extremely proud of Bret, but also extremely scared for him as he’s spending his day’s manning the gun turret on a Humvee.
