For most of John's deployment he has complained of being bored.

We have been VERY thankful he has been bored and have tried to convince him that bored is good.

Last week, John lost two friends from his company. Our hearts go out to their families and friends. We are thankful for their willingness to serve and for their sacrifice. We know they made an impact on John's life and he will always remember them.

While we were not able to have a real discussion, we have spoken to John by phone. We look forward to seeing him in person soon.
