"Just A little Update"

January 22, 2009

I talked to Zach last night, he is still at Ft. Dix until the end of the month. He seems in good spirits, anxious to get on with his call to duty in Iraq. We can talk on the phone only if he goes outside, in the cold (12 degrees) stands between two trailers with the wind whipping thru just to get a phone signal. Ha ha. We also use AOL instant messenger.

The last couple of weeks in Ft. Dix he will be spending 9 days in the field, day and night. Very cold. Funny though in just a couple of weeks he will be in the desert heat. Although at night in the winter it gets down to the 30's. They have all the equipment and training necessary to endure either situation.

I am always amazed at how much he does not complain about anything. He has gained alot of endurance while in the military. I am so very proud of him, for who he is and what he stands for.
