LilyBeth was born Feb. 8th. Jeffery decided to get married the week before he deployed instead of waiting until he returned, which was the original plan. If he hadn't done that, I'd bet money that he would have re upped. Wifey's not having any of that though. :-) Donna In a message dated 6/14/2011 12:15:56 P.M.

We all know how hard to worked to foster a good relationship w/them over the years, but happy to hear that you're happily married and enjoying your step daughter! I've been to PH 3 times.

Granddaughter (LilyBeth) was born in Feb., and I have a Grandson (Jeffery Hans) due mid July, so I'll have one of each!

He came back from his last Afghan deployment (that was a hard one) at the end of March and he gets out in Nov.

I suspect that God forbid something should happen to him that I would probably find out in a roundabout way. :-( Oh well, not much I can do. So your son isn't a career man huh?
