Family stuff

My little brother is in the Oregon National Guard and will go active duty in April and to Iraq in June or July. Luckily he doesn’t burn to a crisp in daylight like I do.

Well, it’s different now, but I still think we can’t leave until the job’s done–can’t create a vacuum for Iran/Syria/Al-Qaeda/etc–and I feel kinda bad that my brother is a much better person than I am. He’s under strict orders to pass along the addresses of buddies in his unit who don’t get packages/letters from home for whatever reason so I can “adopt” them (he has two other sisters who will keep him in Blistex and magazines, not to mention our mother). Maybe I can be a little less useless.

Keep your head down and your powder dry!  God watch over you!

    Aw, thank you, both. I appreciate this, and I’m sure he does, too.

    @HeatherRadish:

    I was serious about that adopting thing. You let me know, and I’ll go shopping. :) I love buying junk food I can’t eat. LOL

    Give him a hug and tell him to pass it along to the rest! :)
