Thanks to all of you who have expressed an interest in helping out Paul. His mother and I appreciate your concern. This is the first time he has ever been away from home for a major Holiday and both he and his mother are bothered by missing the family celebration. I remember being on the deck of the USS Benewah in the middle of a dark brown river. Not having family around is tough the first couple of times.
Once again, thank you from his mother and I, and especially from Paul
