What a way to spend a birthday, today Greg gets to ride in an airplane for 20 hours! This morning, his bus from base to the airport was accompanied by a Harley Davidson motorcade with American Flags and US Navy Flags blowing in the wind. They are leaving from a private hangar and enjoying a send-off from the USO, American Legion and other civilians before actually leaving. His send-off was really impressive he said, lots of veterans there (even some WW2 ones) and family members of already deployed soldiers, too. He got a nice breakfast and some treats... even his favorite girl scout cookies from Girl Scouts! The last surprise was Newt Gingrich himself there to shake everyone's hand and wish them well.
Greg's request to you all is to enjoy a cold beer or dirty martini in his honor since he is officially "dry" (not by choice). He's convinced, by the way, that Lil'r M will share his birthday... I'm not :) Please keep his travelling safety in your prayers, we really appreciate this!
