Chris-that was a good article. thanks for the link

As far as anti-war protests, yes they were upsetting to me. Although, from the majority of people I've spoken with and from what I've seen, anti-war protesters are not against our troops, rather they want to bring them home. That's what I told Joey when I e-mailed him about the protests. I know he and some of our friends from his Marine Corps unit were a tad upset when they heard of all the protests, said it made them question why exactly they're doing what they're doing, made them feel as if what they're doing is all for nothing. Of course, they really don't dwell on that. When I spoke with him last, they were just focused on getting the job done so he could come home.

For those looking to send care packages to troops...yes, one of the main items they need is BABY WIPES...lots and lots of baby wipes. For a list of items to send, check out :
