a lot of us have had a tough year. losing pets and loved ones, and other assorted catastrophies. i hope everybody gets threw with the least amount of hurt.

my s-i-l is in iraq, he was offered a pass home for the holidays, but gave it to somebody with kids, then flew an american flag over bagdad, then had it folded and framed, sent it to me for christmas.....

while i'm here with my new shop vac, and misc. nicities, i want to let anybody who has family away for the holidays, you and yours are in my thoughts, and i wish you all health, wealth and happiness for the coming year.....

Bill, your son-in-law is a stand-up guy for what he did for one of his buddies. I worked with a few guys like that in my Navy career. No better guys than those, and they'll have a friend for life like that. He'll also get the respect of everyone in the command. He'll get his reward tenfold. You must've taught him well, congratulations for a great job. :thumbsup:

You got one heck of a present Bill. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the good thoughts, the best to you and your's this coming year.

Sounds like you got a heck of a Christmas present. You must be awful proud of him and please tell him thanks for keeping us safe.

Thank your son-in-law for his service to us, and tell him we're praying for his safety.

Sounds like your S-I-L is an awsome guy.I appreciate the sacrifice he makes for all of us tell him thank you when you get the chance. And what a cool meaningful present. He sounds like a keeper Bill.

Tell him thanks for my family and we wish him a speedy return and a job well done!
