My son, currently deployed on the USS Carl Vinson has been extended. Seems the carrier that was to be the Vinson's relief may have been diverted to Taiwan in a show of force. My son mentioned in an e-mail that China is messing with Taiwan again. He is scheduled to arrive NORVA 31 July......MGC

Wishing him well and sorry to hear his stay is extended. My niece's ex-husband spent almost a year in Iraq. But his stay kept getting extended too. We learned nothing was for certain. My niece would send us all email updates and warn us that with the Army, things could change, at the last minute. And they did a few times. At least we prepared ourselves he'd be there maybe longer than we'd hope he'd be. But boy when Kris did make it home for good, we were all so relieved. I could sleep well at night again.

Hang in there. Lean on all of us you need to! Thank him for serving for our country.

Mary

I know how disappointed and frightened we were when my nephew was extended in Afghanastan. ((Hugs)) to you my friend. Please thank him for us for his brave service.

MGC,

The VERY best to your son and his comrades on their extended deployment.
Thank you VERY much to all of them for their service in defense of Freedom.

Indeed thank him for his service when you get the chance. And hopefully things will begin to calm and he can return home once again.

One of my employees is being deployed to Afghanistan right about now. When I saw his orders....something like 503 days, my heart just sunk for him. He has two children here in the states.

While you are praying for your son and others...drop the name of Larry Loomis in the mix. We miss him at work but we are so very proud of him, too.

Prayers are going out that your son will be protected from harm while he is serving on the USS Carl Vinson . I know what you are going through. My son serves aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt where he is a Interior Communications Petty Officer 2nd class. He was recently honored with an award for his service in finding a short in the electrical system of the ship that the electricians could not find.
