Kathe asked me to post the following: Brett is with Christian as we speak at Bagram Air Force Base....yeah yeahYEAH He goes to Italy sometime soon I think she said the 19th of Aug.
She wants me to thank ALL of you who have been keeping him in your prayers and giving her such great support during the last 15 months..She will get on here I hope and add more but she had no way of using the HEADLINES so this is a great BLOG to print up! Love for now p
Thanks, Peggy, for posting the good
ReplyDeletenews that Brett has left the "damn
valley" (as the soldiers nicknamed
their location). Such a weight has been lifted!! It has been a long,
stressful year, and I'd like to thank all of you for your thoughts, prayers, packages, emails, and cards/letters for Brett. I'd also like to thank you for keeping my girls and I in your thoughts and prayers as we struggled with his
absence, knowing the danger he
was constantly in.
He was so looking forward to meeting Christian, realizing that
the likelihood that his cousin
would be only an hour and a half
from him in Afghanistan was pretty
unique. I can't wait to hear more
details of their reunion.
Mary and Ed, I'm so looking
forward to your big shindig!
Mike, thank you so much for
offering to pick Peg and I up at
the airport.
I can't wait to see everybody
next week. Don't forget our
party for Jo and Bob on Sunday.
May everybody have a safe journey
up north, and I'll see you then.
Love, Kathe
Oh, by the way, just a correction
ReplyDeleteon Peg's entry as to Brett's
timeline for his journey out of
Afghanistan: He is expected
to arrive in Italy on July 27 and
then Chicago on August 18.
