Uncle Richie

As most of you know my brother a ssgt in the marine corp is currently over in Iraq. Well Michael is very proud to talk about Uncle Richie the marine every chance he gets, so when he was assigned to draw a picture and write about someone who is currently doing something to change history he choose Uncle Richie. He drew a picture of him and his reason was because he is fighting for our freedom. He did this all on his own with no help from me. It amazes me sometimes to hear how much he knows. He is a very smart kid! It has been over two years since he has seen his uncle and he misses him alot. He keeps asking me when do we get to go see him or when does he get to come home from war. And I have to tell him I don't know which gets to be very hard, but I think he understands a little more now. So please keep Richard in your prayers all long with all the other men and women over their and for their families. Richard has a wife and two young boys at home. They seem to be doing well but I know they are all ready for him to come home!
