[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 461475, member: 1664"] My brother joined in 65' at the age of 18. He lived in villages in the Indian country of Nam northwest of DaNang. I have no wisdom, except to relate what my parents did. They worried, they prayed, they wrote weekly letters. One thing that my bro told me that meant so much to him was receiving a coffee can full of my mothers homemade chocolate chip cookies. I helped my mother to bake and pack them very carefully in an old Folgers coffee can, so that they would arrive in perfect condition. By the time he got them, they were a month old and nothing but crumbs. He told me it was just like being home when he opened that can. Times have changed since then, email, video links, ect...., but one thing never changes, and that is the knowledge that Home is still there for him and waiting for his return. So, pray, support and be proud. I will do all three for him. [/QUOTE]
