Just had to brag a little. Our son just got promoted to Captain in the 82nd Airborne Division. The bad news is that he is in Iraq and we didn't get to see him get his bars pinned on.

    Tell him congrats from all of us. Do we need to throw together a package for him maybe? Wouldn't it be cool if we could all pitch in some magazines, books, snacks, cigars (if he likes them), etc. from all of us? Just an idea.

    I think this is an awesome idea jsnake!

    YankeeMan, would you be willing to post your son's favorites in the above categories (and any others you can think of? Would you be willing to be the collection point for the donations?

    Thank you all. I would be happy to be a collection point. As for his favorties, I know he will share them with his men, so anything would be fine.
