AJ DOMME DEPLOYMENT

Hello everyone:
Susie, Lauren, Alexis and Sarah and I spent this past weekend at San Antonio and also at Ft. Hood Texas saying our family goodbyes to our son AJ. Today was his 22nd birthday and his unit was notified today that they would all be leaving by next Tuesday for Iraq. I must confess that saying goodbye for 15 months was a very difficult thing to do but we were absolutely completely impressed with all that we saw and felt there at Ft. Hood. AJ is in the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment, which is a huge Army group (8,000 plus troops). They specialize in the Army Abrams Tank, Bradley fighting machine and armored Hum V’s, plus rocket launching Bradley type track machines and many other very modern fighting troop carriers and armored equipment. They are first setting up in Kuwait and after about a month will head north to Baghdad and all the way up to the area along the Syrian border and the nasty areas north of Baghdad.
He’s very proud of what he’s doing and has turned into a powerful, spirited, and highly motivated young man. We are super proud of him and what he’s doing.
Susie and I hope you keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
