Scott is in Iraq

[Veronica]

It's funny how many things have changed since the first Gulf War. Thom was there 8/90 - 3/91. Calls and letters were few and far between. Most of the time I had no idea where he was.

I'm not sure which is better - knowing your loved ones are in danger or not knowing.

I hope all goes well.

Yes, we've already had 3 phone calls and some IMs. I missed his first call on my cell phone because I was outside with the kids at school on a break. When I got back to my room, my phone was blinking, so I glanced at the number and almost deleted it! It was a local area code, from the next town, and I thought it was a wrong #, since I don't usually call anyone from that area code. But somehow I remembered that his calls get routed through Hanscom AFB, which is about 5 miles from where we live. At least he left a message.

My thoughts and prayers are with you for him having a safe tour of duty. My appreciation for his service.
