To Sgt. Royce Scott & The 115th

The Other Side 

Our  perception of something can often blind us though our eyes are open wide;          Then something happens that forces us to see things from the other side.                     Being in the National  Guard was perceived by some a week-end, a month of fun for pay; We never thought that they would actually go to war to fight for peace and freedom one day.  Two weeks a year they would go to camp  "playing war games " we would say with a grin;   The other side is now they are fighting for real a war they must surely win. To some the guards was a group of friends  buddies with whom thay could pass the time;  The other side is they trust each other with  there lives  "I watch your back and you watch mine".    They are courageous men and women bound together for a comman cause;   When ask to fight for peace on earth they done so without even a pause.          We are honored just to know you all  and you fill our hearts with such pride;               And we thank you for letting us look through your eyes so we could see the other side.                                             by Doris Channell    

To the 115th:
 
I wanted to let you all know that we are all very proud of you! This has been a long and for some of us, hard year. Before you all know it, you will be back home with your families. Everyone here at home really appreciates everything you guys have done! You are all very special to us all! I pray that everyone has a safe trip home.
 
God Bless You All,

David,
    Hi baby! I want you to hurry home so that we can take a nice break together and get away from everything. We can both use a break....that is for sure. I know I can. Things have been really challenging this year. I have found out though, that family can really make these kind of situations a whole lot worse if you know what I mean!!!!! I just thank God that this is all almost over! I love you so much David and I will forever! When you come home, things will be a whole lot better! Trust me!
 
love your baby girl,
Amy Joe Smith

TO PHILLIP AND SHERRY AND ALL THE SOLDIER’S AND THEIR LOVED ONES!!!!

Spoken or unspoken, love is the greatest, most compelling of all human emotions.To me, loving is a total commitment; a complete surrender of the heart, the mind and the soul. Loving is one’s deep and intense concern for the life, well-being and security of another.

If perhaps, you have some special needs, both of you should make every effort to achieve the others fulfillment.

If, at times, you feel lonely, cheer each other and dispel your loneliness to the other.

If you ever need to share your innermost thoughts, you may pour your heart out, and the other should listen.

If you ever need sympathy, try to comfort each other with words, touch and your presence.

If your needs are understandably intimate and human, share your sleep and be together in the intimacy of your dreams.

But only the commitment of your love will make this possible.

I have lived by this for over thirty years of marriage to a wonderful soldier, whom is now a retired First Sergeant, U.S. Army. Throughout his active duty and even now, I supported him and the military in every way and I think, no I know by doing this and living by love’s commitment, we have been together for thirty years and he is still a GREAT SOLDIER, and most of all a wonderful person. I will ALWAYS love and support our soldiers and family members, please live by love’s commitment and support each other.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

TOP’S WIFE, Kathy

Susan,

14 years ago you stole my heart, you made me want you like I have never wanted anything in my life and I want you even more today. I never knew I could love anything or anyone as much as I love you, it amazes me sometimes. You have brought me more happiness than one man ever deserves and I will spend the rest of my life trying to repay you for that. Today is our special day and even though we are not together in body we are in spirit and you are holding my heart in you hands. You are my gift from God and I thank him everyday for giving me the privilege to share your life. There is no gift that could ever express just how much I love you and words never seem to be enough, but I hope you feel it with each beat of your heart that no one could ever love you as much as I do.......For this Anniversary and many more to come "THANK YOU FOR BEING MY WIFE" I love you baby

SGT. Royce B. Scott

You have brought so much love and joy to my life, I never want to be without you again. I Thank God every day for bringing you into my life.
Always remember how much I Love You and How Proud I am of You. Loving You now and Forever !!!!!!!

To Sgt. Randy Lyons:

I just wanted you to know how much I LOVE YOU and how much you mean to me. The time we have been apart has been difficult, and the things we have missed doing by not being together have been tough. Megan and Nicholas are doing fine and we talk about you everyday. It is amazing, but I see you every time I look into Nick's eyes and imagine that you are here with us. I know this year has been hard for you and all the other soldiers, but the end is drawing near. I am sending you all my love, hope and strength and pray everyday for your safety. Never forget how much I love you always and forever and thank God everyday for bringing us together. We have been blessed with 11 1/2 wonderful years together and 2 beautiful children who are very proud of their "papafamilious". Stay safe and take care of yourself and remember that your family is waiting for you with open arms.

All our love,

Teresa, Megan & Nicholas

To SGT Aaron Parris (The Greatest Husband and Father anyone could ask for)
 
Hey Baby!  I just want you to know that I am very, very proud of you.  I know our son is proud of you too.  He may not be old enough to understand what is going on, but when he is older he will hear about how his daddy helped alot of people.  We can't wait till you come home to us.  The day that you walk through the doors of that airport will be so great!  I get more and more excited about it everyday. Everyone is thinking about you and we all love you very much. We are going on our 4th year of marriage and I have loved every minute of it. The time that you have been gone has been hard on us, but with love as strong as ours, it will see us through. Michael and I love and miss you very much and we can't wait till you come home. John, Rita, Angie, Brian, Mike, Mary, Lesa, Grandma, and Patty love and miss you too. They all ask about you all the time. It is getting closer and closer for time to come home. We will all be there for you baby. WE LO VE YOU!!!
 
Love Always,
Darcie and Michael Parris

Hey Honey, just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and love you more now than ever. I can't wait to see you and hold you again.  You are the love of my life and I look forward to seeing you at home again everyday. Take care and I'll see you soon. All my love, forever and ever yours, Beverly

David,
   This is all almost over! It has been a very long and hard year without you. I remember when you left, I kept thinking to myself that I wasn't going to be able to handle all of this. I have realized though that God can "really" get you through anything! I know that this has been a hard year for you, also. A lot of things have happened this past year; good and bad. This deployment has showed me that I have the best life and the best husband I could ever dream of having. Baby, I can't wait till you get home so I can show you how much I love you and appreciate everything you have done. I love you so much baby and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I will always love you, even when you are a grumpy old man! Hurry home soon baby! Remember baby that I am VERY PROUD OF YOU!
 
love your Baby Girl,
Amy Joe Smith

TO MY LOVING WIFE

It will not be long till we are back together again. This year will bring joy back into our lifes.

2005 will be a good year for many reason, but the one thing it brings is me and you being us again.

I have really been awaiting the day to hold you again, you are my life and without you there has been a big void in my life. We are going to fill that void with happiness and joy. Its going to be you and me against the world. This long nightmare will finally come to its end. We can go on with our lifes together knowing we will never have to go thur it again. I just want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR because thats what its going to be.

I cant wait to spend our time together in the mountains, its been a long awaited vacation for you and me both. So get to packing baby.

With all my heart I love you,

PHILLIP

SSG. Eddy Colburn,
Happy Anniversary my Love. Even though we're miles apart, god knows your always in my heart. So on our Special Day, imagine the Lord stretching his hand from mine to yours and feel how much I Love You.    
Over the last year I have learned we shouldn't take anything for granted. Maybe I did for 19 years, but if the Lord will watch over you and bring you home to me, I never will again. Guess it is true, we have to go through something bad to make us a better person.
Happy 20th Anniversary !!!
 
Love Forever and Always
Your Wife and Bestest Friend,
Peggy Colburn
