My stepson is with the 428th MP CO and is being ordered out
for 4 days to Fort Shnelling in Minnesota....for processing and paperwork...they called him this morning...they NEVER have called him for a 4 day processing, and when he ASKED them "where are we going after that?" they said "we cant say"..
So, in other words, right now, NONE of the families of our soldiers are being given ANY information as to where or what will happen to them, RIGHT before Xmas and Thanksgiving, and NO one is saying a THING....there is NO one to call or find out ANYTHING..
anyone who might KNOW how we could find out ? Anyone out there who knows whats going to happen to the whole UNIT of the 428th MP CO ???? (Hes an Army Reservist)...
This is so cruel to do this to the families.

2. I am so sorry
I never know what to say when people say that their loved ones are being shipped out - I can't even begin to imagine the pain and worry that must haunt the families until they get their sons and daughters back into their arms.

I wish your entire family the very best, and, if your stepson indeed heads to Iraq, I hope that he stays safe and is back home to you soon.

5. I don't know if we can save him also
but it's worth a try. I'll start cranking out the emails today.

6. I understand your worries...
as the mother of two grown sons, I can only offer my best thoughts to you and your family. This is beyond heartless; it infuriates me so much that one spoiled, arrogant, bully-brat can cause so much pain to so many.

7. Oh, Mari, I'm sorry
The people in charge of this country are heartless bastards. We must do everything in our power to get them out of office.

In the meantime, my thoughts are with you and your step-son. Let's hope you have a happy ending to this story.

9. Call your Congressmen and Senators and ask them for their help...
If they cannot help, at least you have let them know what is going on.
