Michael emailed us again

[Mari333]

said he got the 3 stooges video we sent him. said he watched it "with a small audience of homesick soldiers"
I want to thank all the people on here who have been sending him snacks.
He shares them, wants to come home. They all do.
He sounded okay, just wants to come home.
I feel a little better tonight, but I know theres itchy finger troops about to attack Fallujah, and Nasra, and its a clusterf*ck over there now
I am hoping the next few days, cool diplomatic heads prevail, instead of Bush idiots who think forcing things makes things work
In the meantime, we are in the middle of a mess.
I just hope it doesnt all come down, and Michael and his unit get caught in the middle of hell.

1. Glad to hear he's doing better

Hang in there! We'll all be praying for ya!

[Mikimouse]

2. I think about it daily..

Every passing day brings him one day closer to home. Godspeed Michael!

[MuseRider]

3. Glad to hear that

he is feeling better and that for a few moments in time you feel a little better. I worry so about you and Michael. I would love to send some goodies to him to have and to share. PM me an address and a list, if you have one, of things he might need or want and I will get on it tomorrow. Take care Mari, sleep well tonight.

4. Glad you heard from him

And that he's ok, relatively. Is there an addy to send stuff for their whole group, or is it better to send something to him directly, to share with everyone? I know I'd bake for these guys!

6. May the Great Kahuna send Mikey home safe and sound once this mess is over

Sending him some Hula Girls, Kona Gold, and McNuts.

7. I PMed all of you snack ladies

Ive been sending him a lot of beef jerky, salt, chips, candy, gum, and tons of stuff that he misses..he tells me all the time hes hungry, and when I heard the supply lines were in jeapordy and they were cutting back on supplies because of roadside bombs, I figured I would send him as much food as I could
and the other guys too
He said he needs white socks!
I guess thats what we need to send him next because its like 120 degrees there and he said all he has is black sox which are hot as hell
we fill packages every day, and send 4 a week
It feels like we are doing something if we do. Otherwise we feel sort of helpless, except for kicking Bush out of office, which we must do or there will be a hell of a lot more parents and loved ones on here freaking out because of the Draft.

8. We are not forgetting Michael

We remember him daily, and My Jon prays for Michael's safe return!

[Djinn]

9. I can't say I really pray as such

being a fairly entrenched atheist, but maybe good wishes mean as much.

Hoping he's home soon

[Mari333]

10. Ill sleep better tonight

knowing hes alive and watched the 3 stooges
Knowing he is eating the junk food we sent
I wish I could send food to the kids in Iraq, the families whose country we are occupying
I wish I could help one mother or father over there who are terrified because we attacked their country for no reason
I wish I could undo all the damage we have done to that country, and undo the sanctions that we imposed on all their children in the 1990's
I wish I could throw George Bush out of office with my bare hands for hurting so many people, for out and out genocide and murder of civilians and kids in uniform who are in a war that should have
never been.
