Hi Addie!
My name is Jenniffer Harris.
First, can I just tell you I think you are an amazing woman!
I was cleaning my closet out today, and I found a bunch of shoes that don't fit my kids anymore.
I hate the idea of throwing them away, and I don't think that the Thrift store would really want them.
I remembered a long time ago, a man in my town who was collecting shoes for kids in Iraq. I thought to myself, I am going to look online and see if I find another organization who may do that.
Well, I was surfing the web and came across an artical about you from 2005. I wasnt sure about whether the same address could be used for sending shoes, so I started looking for more information online, with your name, and came across your blog, then your myspace.
I think you are awesome!
I would love to send shoes anywhere! So I didnt know if you could help me there, plus I think you are awesome for supporting our country.
I love our country, and I came from a military family, so does my husband. Neither one of us decided to go that way, although I almost did twice. But God had other plans for me!
We support our troops and our country 199%!!!
Anyway, I know this is all over the place. I just was really excited when I found this.
I wish you all the best! Let me know where I could send shoes! And if you need anything over there! Let me know!!!
You and the rest of the troops are awesome! I have the utmost respect for anyone in our military, especially those in war torned countries!
I hope to hear from you soon!
Jenniffer
ugh, that stuff looks heavy...you do kind of look like a Ninja Turtle...I hope you're doing OK out there.
Hey - the teenage mutant ninja turtles were born in Bayonne, NJ!!!! Watch the opening of the cartoon and you will see - poor little turtles were playin in the toxic substances all alone with no one watchin over them. And just think they got superpowers for not listening to their mommy and daddy turtles when they told them to be careful walkin around the streets of Bayonne. This should be a lesson to all you baby turtles out there - if you swim in toxic waste when your parents tell you not to you will one day be standing in front of an ASV with a M16, a tripod, a camera yelling "waaaaaa waaaaaa look at me I'm a 'one man band' at war in heavy military duds holdin lots-o-stuff waaaaaa waaaaa"!
I love modern technology!!!!! Without it we wouldn't be able to see what you go thru everyday. I love the pictures!!! Keep them coming.
Thank you again for everything you do for the love of your country!!
your cuz,
Nellie
I was going to comment on what a nice guy you are(the Mt Dew thing)..until I read this ninja turtle from Jersey whining...sounds like a big waaa.. waaa.. waaa.. to me....that's my little girl you are talking about...and I KNOW SHE'S YOUR WIFE!!!
Your mother in law
Love you both...
I hate when other people mouth off but they don't put action to their words.
What are you doing????? She is out there putting her life on the line and all you can say is waaaaaa waaaaaa look at me I'm a 'one man band' at war in heavy military duds holdin lots-o-stuff waaaaaa waaaaa"!
Grow up!!!
Hey Mr/Mrs "Anonymous" this is for you...hold on...TAKE THAT!!! I just did a ninja spin and super duper power kick just for you! Now you can take back your whole "don't put action to their words" comment!!!!
Go 302nd !!! Sorry you guys all got split up..what's up with Rob at the FOB? Looking forward to you all coming home in the Spring...I'm recruiting for the PA MTT. Keep your head down and your eyes open! Be safe and I'll see you when you demob at Ft. Dix.

Anonymous, is that like Dear Abby? This is for you. That comment about the Ninja turtles was a funny story between a husband and his wife. To lighten things up and to make his wife laugh. Not written to be taken the way you did. Maybe the comment above yours got you in a twizzel, but if you read it through, you would have seen it said Love you both. This is my son you are talking to and the husband of this brave soldier. In the future, NO mouthing off, as you put it, unless you really know what your saying and to whom. And if you are following this soldiers blog, you would see how "me" loves his wife and how humor makes their realationship work even during this terrible time for both of them.
Get em mama Gail. By the way your newest grandson is so handsome.
Addie's cuz,
Nellie
Of course there's nothing easy about it! You're doing a great job, in very difficult circumstances.

Addie,
