Hello All
As Kritstie said I'm stationed in Kuwait, flying C-12 Huron ( BE-200 ), for the Army. I'm normally a corporate Citation 650 Capt. and I fly the C-12 for the Army National Guard based in PA. My unit was called up to active duty with another State Flight Detachment from Minnesota. Our mission here is to support Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom up in Afghanistan. We also have a "sister" composite unit flying the C-23 Sherpas ( Shorts ) based up in Balad Iraq. While I am "enjoying" the opportunity to fly in a different part of the world and am gaining great international expereince, I can tell you as Dorathy said "There is no place like Home". I can't wait to get back to my family and to our great way of life in the USA. We got it good people!
Being part of JCs has been a positive experience for me and that this thought of sharing furthers that feeling. I've had the good fortune of meeting some of the people from the site and have always been impressed with the quality of everyone. I have to tell you its not about sharing the money or gifts its about the thoughts and prayers and support of those back home that means the most to those of us away from family and friends. If you know someone specifically, I'd encourage you to take a moment and send them a note of appreciation.

Take Care this Holiday Season and God Bless the USA!!!
