Mike wrote to his sisters, and they are thrilled! They are both writing back right now.
He did send an address for us to send mail to him now. So now we can write to him!!! Woohoo!!
I also just looked up how to get there, it's only 13 hours by car. And our route goes past Stone Mountain, Nashville, and then he's close to Churchill Downs so we can go check that out. (I'm a big horse junkie).
He says graduation is in November. No date yet, but I'm ecstatic with any information at this point so we'll just go with that...

I've been wondering about those things where you can send care boxes to soldiers via these websites - do you know if that actually works and do the guys actually get the stuff?
ReplyDeleteHey cassee01!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to post a list of places I know of that you can send money to pay for care packages or even just write letters to Soldiers.
As far as I know they are run by Military family members most times and we can see the fruits of their labor via pics from the Soldiers themselves. (yeah they can be faked, but some of those are just really not worth faking for a box of deodorant and stationery) I'd not trust every site, but I do trust the ones I find associated with the parent sites I frequently visit. I'd hope if they were not legit I'd be seeing warnings on those sites as well.
I'll get those up ASAP.
Thanks for visiting!!
