Norfolk

Hello!

I made it to Norfolk. One step closer. Leaving was VERY hard this time - as you can imagine. There are some GREAT photos here:

It was a very emotional goodbye, but all I can say now is I so look forward to the return! In between, it will be mission focused and I couldn't be prouder to be with the men and women from the 94th CES.

My next post will probably not be until I am situated in Bagram. It will likely be a few days and they will be long hard days, but I promise to post as soon as possible.

Enjoy the pics - the media from WSB was there - may of you may have seen the coverage on Channel 2.

Thanks to all for all your support - it means the world to me.

Mark.

    Mark, be cool and stay focused. Kim and I will be thinking of you and your family. A C130 to Norfolk? That can be a bumpy ride, hopefully they got you a better ride across the pond. Happy Birthday!!!!! Posted some pics to Picassa, if you get a chance.

    Hi Mark, I didn't realize I was missing your birthday! Hope it was happy! Hope you are staying safe. I saw the pictures when you left... I got a little teary. Big hugs to you and Pam -- we are thinking and praying for you both every day. God bless you and keep you all safe.

    Hi Mark, The pics shook me into reality that you are really gone. How much we wish we could have been there. Al is making great progress.

    Take care Mark. We think of you often and pray that you and your troop are well. Will see you in Sept. God Bless, Love Mom/Dad
