Request from Jeff...

Hello to all...heard from Jeff again today. He is in Afghanistan getting ready to go to another base before heading to his FOB. It was 12:30am there and he was trying to get some things in order for some of the guys to get on a flight at 4:30am...he wasn't sounding too happy. But as he was saying, it could take 2 days to get to Kandalhar (spelling???), which is a base that is used quite often. They could be there for a few more days before taking the guys by helicopter to FOB Smart (Jeff's FOB) so he is requesting that no one send any packages til he lets me know that they are getting closer to arriving at his FOB. If you have done so already, it will be ok, but Jeff would rather not have packages waiting for him. Mail will wait, so feel free to send that. I will be sure to post and let everyone know when Jeff gives us the "go ahead" for packages. Love to all!

Hi Shelly:

Next time you do talk with Jeff, let him know that I send my love and that I had a total stranger speak to me in a parking lot because she saw my magnet you sent. The lady said that she had a grandson in Iraq and that I should let Jeff know that she would "add one more brave young man" to her list of daily prayers ! Very touching and genuine - and something I think Jef will truly appreciate hearing about. I'll talk to you you soon, Honey .... Love and Prayers to you both ...
