The other day I was shocked as all get out to get a reply to an e-mail that I had sent to the 26th MEU/USS Kearsarge thanking those who facilitated the opportunity for both Sailors and Marines to be able to call home in, on, or around the Father's Day weekend. I mentioned that my Marine son had called twice but that sadly I was away from the house (and no, I do not have a cellular telephone:D ) and could not receive the call in person. I also asked if they could somehow pass the word to my son that I really appreciated his efforts to get in touch with me. Well, son of a gun if the Public Affairs Officer didn't pass on my short letter with accompanying cartoons to the Sergeant Major and then the Sergeant Major responded by ensuring that the"young Marine" would receive a copy not only of the e-mail I sent but also the cartoons that I attached with the short letter. It was getting a letter from a Supreme Being. How often does something like this happen? I tell you I damned near pizzed my pants. I'm still floating. I can rest easy now knowing that my son knows that I applauded his efforts. What a trip.
Just wanted to pass on some good news.
As a curiousity side note: I wonder how he got the word? Can you imagine being beckoned by the Sergeant Major?
