First of all, we would like thank our daughter Jasmine and the rest of the soldiers of the 952nd En. Co. who recently packed up and deployed to Iraq. Believe me, we appreciate your service and have nothing but respect for the job you're doing. LeiLani and I were both serving in the Marine Corps when G.W.'s daddy kicked Sadaam out of Kuwait, the first time. Until Jasmine told us about deploying, we hadn't thought twice about answering the call of duty. But; when it's your child or loved one, and the Army won't let you come along to protect them, it really hits home what it means to "answer the call."

Updates

• The Galleries: I have gotten complaints about the degree of difficulty involved in finding the old galleries, so... click here to be taken to the old gallery main page.

• We hope you like the new layout. I finally put something together that LeiLani and I both like. This design and layout may stay with us.

• The galleries are going to be purged today! We are getting rid of 2005 and most of what's in from 2006. If there is something you'd like to have; you'd better get it quick!
