I shopped on ebay and amazon and just a few local sales myself. Sam got
back to base in NC from Iraq on the 22nd and they made him spend Cmas
there. He'll be home for a couple of weeks for furlough and then back to
NC until October. then he goes back to Iraq for another year. He'll
spend Cmas 05 in Iraq.
