He said he just wanted to thank me (and everyone else at HH)for taking care of E (and you & EG too). I was in tears when we got off the phone. Here he was so many miles from home protecting our freedom & he was thinking of others at the same time. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much Derek! You have no idea how much that phone call meant to me & how much I love your family.tondayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088944855247526807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760284705417192775.post-62815087372226122532008-09-07T20:22:00.000-07:002008-09-07T20:22:00.000-07:00Wow, those are great pictures but I'm glad he is n...Wow, those are great pictures but I'm glad he is not there. 130 degrees?
