Brother in Iraq with Bagpipes

[79thReproductions]

On put the proper Velcro on the side of the cover where he has his name tape, unit patch, rank, and blood type. (All Velcro patches)

Im putting the Velcro on the glengarry and jacket too so we can put his unit patch for his "hackle"

I am making a ACU ripstop kilt modeled after the 79th New York kilt, competele with Velcro on the lower right front apron for his unit patch. Its nice to have a sister that sews sometimesith:

All in all hes doing well! Hes with the 4th ID in the 1/10 Cav out of Colorado. His wife gave birth to their 2nd child on the 18 of this month which he was able to be there because of leave. But unfortunately, he had to return to Iraq on Christmas eve.

Here are some pictures of his leave here at home and exploits with piping and Iraq and such.

Ah anywho. I got into proud sister mode! He has going through a rough time recently missing his new family, his wife and feeling like no one cares. Its really nice to hear that people still support soldiers and families.
