Just a quick note to let you all know that Jennifer has arrived back in Kuwait from Germany. Not a surprise, but she had a great time. She flew from Kuwait five hours into Ramstein AFB and then took the Autobahn to a little Army base called Vilsek. She was able to hook up with a group of soldiers and see the German countryside. Her new favorite beer is Guinness and her favorite German food was Donners, a bun filled with shaved pork they serve in the pubs. The temperatures were - 3 degrees Celsius and she did come home with a cold and sniffled through our phone conversation. She received our package and a package from Dad and Shirley that she was THRILLED with, especially the pictures of your cars and Vegas and Darryl's house. She's homesick, but determined. She said her commander is jealous of her trip and has put her on work detail tomorrow on her day off, wrapping presents.
She also had a meeting with the new Command Major Sargeant of the Army Preston, who was visiting from Washington and she was impressed with his speech. There were only thirty soldiers picked to sit in on his speech and she was one of them. It was GREAT to hear from her and she sounds hale and hearty , in spite of her cold. The weather in Kuwait has settled and it is now running in the high sixties.
