Got some bad news tonight, and got some good news tonight. My brother Jon, one of my three brothers, was been told he will be deployed in September. All three of my brothers have been or are currently enlisted in the armed forces. My brother David was in the Army and spent over a year in Iraq, and my brothers Justin and Jon are both currently enlisted in the Air Force. The good news is that Jon will be deployed in a small country on the eastern side of the Saudi peninsula called Qatar. According to Jon, this is a good thing, as these people have friendly sentiments toward the American troops stationed there. Regardless, another brother is entering a hostile foreign country, with another potentially going there as well. I really hope that any of my family reading this has already heard, but if not, I'm sure Jon will be calling you soon. Everyone please remember our brothers and sisters, daughters and sons who are risking their lives daily fighting this senseless war.

Qatar ("Cutter") is actually a REALLY good thing. It's where all the dignitaries are. He must be a pretty hot air force guy to be going there! He'll probably be driving around Chiefs of Staff & stuff (I must tell him about the time I got LOST in Greece in the middle of the night driving a Chief of Staff to the base- Ugh!!). Anyway, I feel much better about this as an alternative to Iraq! MUCH better. XXXOOO, Kath
