I know more about the soldier

Well I got the email for the soldier "adoption" program sponsored by operationac.com It's a great program where you can adopt a soldier in Iraq or Afganistan and send them stuff they need; correspond with them; and hopefully brighten their day.

I applied and yesterday I learned who my soldier is. His name is Lt. Yarber. That's all I know other than his address which is..."any doctor or any nurse-31st Combat Support Hospital." :o(
He's hurt. Now I am really worried. I am sending off my first package today and hope to learn more soon.

God acts in strange ways I guess. While I thought I would end up sending stuff to a tank somewhere in Iraq, I am sending stuff to a hospital--a MASH unit if you will. We have a lot in common already. I have more stitches in me than a cheap Sears suit. Heck, I have had a few big hills to climb because of polio. Hopefully I can hold his pack as he starts his climb. I will let you know what I hear.

If you have a second, say a prayer for Lt. Yarber and all of the others in the 31st Combat Support Hospital. Doctors and nurses, too.

They are our very best and they are paying a great price. The least we can do is make sure they get good value for their investment.

God speed Lt. Yarber. God knows we are thinking about you.
