Better than going to Needles

[Snowboat]

is having a friend tell us that they saw our son, in Fallujah, on a website. He is safe, as of the 15th of April. Click on April 15, 2004 to see Justin Mendenhall. If you want to see the Marine's perspective, view these slideshows. http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/channel.php?GQID=show
Still going to Needles, just a little more at ease, for now. Heading south, out of the icecap, in seven days. I'm bringing the butt ugly OT Flowmasters in case the cops are going to be out. Don't know what to expect.
Spam: I'll have an 8-71 and a 6-71 if anyone is interested.
If you've got some gears in the 20's bring 'em along.

Glad to hear that. Been wondering what his situation was.
Snowboat: Check your Pm for tuneup.

That's cool.
bet that was a big relief to see him.
That slide show is pretty intense.
Do you get to keep in contact via e mail very often?

That's awesome Snowboat, glad to hear it.

We try and make sure he receives a letter a day, usually more. My wife sends a package twice a week, usually toiletries and candy. We have not received any letters from him, since the attacks on Fallujah began, because the mail has been taking three weeks.

Snow,
I just wan't you to know that I am one American who has just looked at that picture of you son & brought my family in to see the reason why we live in the greatest country in the world.
Words can never be enough, but thank you & thank you to your son.

Talk about an Awesome Paint Job! Check out what some of our boys across the
water did to their helicopter. Some Afghan is probably freaking out right
about now. The story is: This very special Mi-24 helicopter is presently
flying in Afghanistan, where it is no doubt causing quite a stir.

Ken, I could not even imagine having a son or daughter over there. Glad to hear that everything is all right. Have a safe trip and we'll see you when you get to Needles.;)
