If I have to go thru another Nebraska Winter in my soft-top, I think I will cry... QQ
Her tour over there is complete... I will be sooooooo happy to see her again... Seems like it's been forever...
I really feel for those families are dealing with the one year tours... It's tough not being with the ones you love...

Hey, Sully!!! My wife grew up in Thousand Oaks... I'm trying to remember what High School she went to... She would've graduated in 89... I think her mascot was a Warrior (or something)...
