He's a Star!!

If you didn't know already, this is Mark. Emily Reynolds' brother. He is currently deployed to Iraq (Baghdad). We THINK he will be home before Thanksgiving. We will get a 24 to 48 hour notice that he is almost home.

So, for now, we can enjoy seeing him for a couple of seconds on the goarmy.com website. You can, too.

Go to: www.goarmy.com; click on Soldier Life. When the picture of a soldier talking to a little girl comes up, hit "click to play." Mark will be the first one you see and hear. Watch closely. It only last a second.

Thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers during this past year. It has meant a lot to us.

At Thu Oct 12, 05:56:00 PM EDT, Anonymous said...: Glad to know he is coming home. I know you're happy.
At Fri Oct 13, 05:22:00 AM EDT, Anonymous said...: I did see it Marla after your email! I am glad it is almost time for him to come home. He is a hero and star now!
