My friend (1LT Pete Woreck, the one who was recently in the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen) in Afghanistan goes about keeping people informed a little bit different. Instead of a blog, periodically, he will send out an update of what is happening in his deployment. Of course, you have to be on his e-mail list, which I am fortunate enough to be a part of. Well, today I received an update from him that I thought was awesome.
While it is his words, I echo a lot of what he has said. You can substitute Marcia for Jaime of course! ha ha Seriously though, I will add, that it would be impossible to do what I am doing, were it not for someone on the other end who is anchoring down the “frenzy of life” back home. Thanks Marcia. It gives great insight on the challenges of being away, of being a soldier, and serving our country. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Bill-
I just got back to Waupun from the National FFA Convention and a bus load of 48 students from the area! I just wanted to let you know that we had the opportunity to see a Toby Keith concert while we were there. He ended his show with the songs “American Soldier” and “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”. The entire group of people(including me) filling Lucas Oil Stadium were on their feet and few, if any, had dry eyes! It was a fantastic performance and means more every time I hear it on the radio – but to see and hear him sing it was almost too much!!! Just wanted to let you know that we think about you on a daily basis – even at the convention! Thank you for all that you and your family are doing for all of us! Look forward to seeing you soon! Take care!
