SKYPing with Joe

We have been able to “SKYPE” with Joe twice now, most recently today. For those that are unaware of SKYPE, it is a free computer to computer video and audio internet link in real time available to anyone with the program downloaded on their computer (the program is also free). Joe looks and sounds healthy and well. He has been out twice on missions in the surrounding area. The missions last 3 days and they travel and sleep in truck like vehicles (MRAP) that are resistant to IEDs. He has seen herds of camels, ancient Roman ruins and visited a number of Iraqi villages. The unit that shares their FOB is from Ft Hood and preparing to return. One of their members had returned early and was apparently wounded in the shootings there this week. Joe has enjoyed the letters and packages he has been receiving and says to keep them coming! Thanks again for your prayers and caring for Joe
