EVERYONE WANTS TO HELP. That was the subject line of a note I got from a long time dear friend whom we shall refer to as Defense Contractor Guy. Having noted that wide athletic tape is one of the things CPT Patti always needs since she has some trouble with her feet...well, you read it.

"I was at physical therapy (turns out I have the back of a 70 yr old) and mentioned that I have a friend in Iraq. They just kicked in 4 very large rolls of atheletic tape for Patti - I'll be putting a package together to send off this week."

Folks, I cant begin to adequately express my gratitude to the friends and family and strangers who continue to step forward for our girl, her troops, and the people learning to be free. God bless you all.
