I'm sure some of you remember about a half-year ago I posted this same message, and i'm here again to ask for your thoughts and prayers. My dad is in the Army Reserve, 31 years now, a Sargent Major rank given to him just last year. With the new ranking, instead of his monthly trips to South Korea, he is now stationed back in Japan. Sunday morning he will be heading out to KCI and then MSP, and flying a 14 hour trip to Japan. With the heightened alerts and all the international flight contraversy and possible terrorism, i'm a little shaky about this flight. He got back Sept. 3rd, 2001... not as close as it could of been, but still scary.

Thanks all.. I really appreciate it. :)

David
