Almost 21 but still my baby!
It’s almost Hunter’s 21st birthday! He will be celebrating in Iraq…..Where did the last 21 years go?! I just held him closely as a newborn….now, he’s a hero across an ocean–a leader among men! I am going to write a post over the next few days with 21 facts–fun and serious–about my son! A fact for each year that I have been blessed with him…
So stay tuned, I am going to start working it out in my head in the next few days and then I will bring it on home to you all!
Oh and btw, if anyone can figure out how to get a birthday cake to FOB Camp Kasul, Iraq…..drop this Proud Army Mom a line
Thanks and see you again, REAL SOON!


My thoughts are with you! My son CJ, too, turns 21 on June 15th and is stationed in Kasul, Iraq. We haven’t seen him since 2007 but gets to come home in a few weeks (supposedly) for a 2 week leave. I know exactly what you are going through.
I wish you and your son the best. Please tell him we thank him for the service of his country. God bless him!!
