Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers. He will be there for 6 months, back in the US for 6, then deployed again. When they left the dock, (in Norfolk, VA) they had a band play the Star Spangled Banner and they lined the flight deck. Blew the whistle and took off waving to everyone on the dock. You can't see the crowd because I held my camera through the gate. Lots of cheers and tears! It was an amazing sight.
Pam, I'll ask him if there is a general addy. I'm sure with 6,000 in his strike group that it will be appreciated!
Crankin - my thoughts are with you! I told Justin the night before he left to NOT VOLUNTEER FOR ANYTHING! He just laughed at me. We toured the ship on Friday and those guys are so young!
Gingerale - where is your dh?
