As a parent I find volunteering for other troops as they come thu our town a great help. Helping them makes me feel like I’m loving my kid that much more. Being a parent is difficult; it’s hard to know where & how to fit in during deployment.

You might consider adding this to the list…our son made sure he and his wife got passports for the kids as well before he left on his IA to Afghanistan. They also had a paper drawn up and notarized that gave his wife permission to fly with the kids anywhere inside and outside the US. With ever changing security rules and airline rules they didn’t want to take the chance that she would not be able to take the kids where ever they need to travel to. The youngest was 6 wks old for his passport photo but he has already racked up some air miles.

To Hope: This may be hard to put together on short notice, but I’m a big Disney fan and visit their theme parks often—they have a “Goofy” burger–it’s gummy candy (which won’t melt!) shaped like a hamburger…..on a “bun,” with “cheese” “lettuce” and “tomato”! I don’t know if the local Disney stores (in the malls) carry these treats any more, but I think they still do at Disney World and Disneyland….I’m betting if you called WDW someone could put you in touch with one of their stores and then you could send “burgers” to the guys!!! You can always buy from Disney over the phone, you just have to know what to ask for—-

On the second deployment, we invested in a DVD camera. It wasn’t cheap, but it turned out to be well worth the investment. Every week, I would make make an unedited video of things going on around the house - mostly the dogs acting silly. They are easy to use: point, shoot and when you are done just push a button and it’s ready to go.
