thanks

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the emails today. To be honest I had no idea it was even a holiday but I and everyone over here does appreciate the thoughts. Really nothing new or exciting going on over here. I'll try to call on Thanksgiving but for anyone I don't get to talk to HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Wish i could be there and i'm sure i don't have to say this but have a drink for me. oh the one exciting thing i did find out is that apprently the army has adopted a new policy where if you have deployed more than once withotu being home for two years you get a bunch of extra vacation time. i know its still kinda worthless but when i finally make it home i'll have almost a full month of free vacation. normally when we get back from deployment the unit gets 3o days where people can use thier vacation so with this i might be able to take an entire month off work. i mean just think a whole month i can spend with my mom and grandmom just working in the yard and sewing. if however they get a little bored with me plan on me randomly showing up at some ofyour places. ok well thanks again for everything. You all really are the family there is....or at least according to ben we are the best looking

Yes, Matt, we, too, have been thinking about you today. A big thank you to you and all your buddies for taking care of us back here at home. If not for all your dedication, who knows where we all would be right now. It's always good to hear from you. Hopefully, you can enjoy all the banter that has been going on in this blog -- it certainly is entertaining for me! Take care and stay safe!
Love, Aunt Paula
