Off to Iraq

September 19th, 2008

My brother-in-law, Brian, is off to Iraq as I type this. It’s going to be a tough year for their little family, all being apart. We wish them all well, and especially send positive thoughts with Brian. As part of the 82nd Airborne, he was in the first group to go over to Afghanistan more than six years ago. He’s since moved over to the National Guard and been promoted in rank, and we’re all very proud of him. His attitude about going is this: “If I can go over there and relieve people who have been there three and four and five times already, I’m glad to be able to do it.”

    We are all proud of Brian. He has a positive attitude. He is doing what he feels is right. But like most of us, wishes we were not in Irag at all. He is going to miss his three girls, and they are going to miss him.

    Think of Brian over there and Cheri, Erica and Dani here. It is very hard on all of them.

    Our love and our prayers are with the Kresics’. One and all.
