Not sure why the blog below turned out the way it did...It didn't look that way when I previewed it and I can't seem to fix it to get it right! Sorry!

A View from Iraq

Kuwait- where they all slept...Dusty took the picture from his sleeping cot

Stopped to give local children soccer balls and to speak with the locals...Dusty is taking the picture

Please continue to keep Dusty and all the other soldiers in your thoughts and prayers. They are doing an outstanding job in Iraq. Thanks to everyone for your support, letters, cards, packages, prayers and endless love.

Dusty at work...Enjoy!!!

New Zip Code

Dusty has a new mailing address zip code. I sent it out in an email, but if I left you off, please let me know. Also, if you need his whole address again, let me know. Thanks!

Thank You!

Dusty received his packages and letters today and he wanted me to tell you all thank you for thinking of him and sending him stuff! He really enjoyed each package and letter/card. He is finally settled at his mailing address FOB, where he'll be for a while. He is doing well, misses everyone, and says Hey and Love!

Here are a few pictures of Dusty. The first picture is of him in Kuwait. The two smaller pictures, sorry they won't get bigger, are of Dusty and his good friend Brandon traveling and hanging out. The last picture is the most recent. He is traveling from the Baghdad International Airport. Dusty is doing well...we get to talk everyday and I love getting to hear from him. He tells everyone Hi! Please keep him in your prayers. He has been traveling quite a bit. He is not at his final FOB yet, but will be hopefully around the 14th/15th. Thank you so much for the prayers, support, and letters and packages to him. He will be surprised once he gets to his FOB and sees his mail. Love to all!

FREE Mailing boxes

The post office has free boxes for shipping items to the military...you should check them out! You only pay for the postage. Also, my friend Amanda informed me that you can order boxes from USPS and have them mailed to your house, and they send you the flat rate boxes, the customs forms, mailing labels, and tape, all for free! When you call to order boxes, they give you a customer number so every time you call back you just give them that and they will mail you more boxes. The number is 1-800-610-8734. Just thought I would let you all know if you are interested in sending a package to Dusty! Thanks again!
