Home from Mississippi

[Sir Robert]

I am in the US Army in Europe and my wife and daughter are a stone's throw from New Orleans. Thankfully we lost nothing but the flip side is that because I personally lost nothing, the Army will not let me go home to help. I want to help so bad I can't stand it.

Thank you and all the others so much for helping!

Just to make this kilt related, my closets in Louisiana are full of kilts and the water in my yard goes up and down with the tides which means the the dykes between my home and the sea are gone.

Robert, I know this doesn't help you much but part of our group went down to work on a roof for the son of one of our members. He is a captain in the USAF, stationed somewhere around Gulfport. When they finished that job, the captain had a buddy down the road who had some bad damage and no one had as of yet come to provide relief. So, on the last day some of the group diverted from our regular schedule to go and help him with his needs. I think we all felt it was the least we could do for a member of our armed forces. I think one of the reasons I felt so strongly about going was that I never served in the military and I wanted to do something for my country. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you guys who go and do what you do. Thank you for your dedication and the rest of us will try to hold it in the road while you're gone. I pray your family (and your kilts) will be safe.

GOOD on ya, Mate. Kilted, in the pink tu-tu, it don't matter. You did a good thing, and that's what counts.

GOOD on ya.

Okay, before this goes too far I DID NOT WEAR A PINK TU-TU! I prefer an original black Utilitutu.
