out. Paul Stamm and his family live close to my mother. My brother Curtis is married and has a little girl who is 8. In 2005 I was activated for Hurrican Katrina and spent a month at Camp Shelby, Mississippi running a medical clinic for soldiers. My husband and I deployed to Irag from July 2009 to April 2010. Gavin ran a hotel on Victory Base cmplex and I was a Battle Captain for 1/82 CAV. I was responsible for base security. The base was home to about 40,000 military personnel, civilian contractors, third country nationals, and local Iraqi workers. It was a great experience and a highlight to my military career. I was promoted to Captain and Gavin is now a Sargent Major. He will be retiring soon. I went on a medical mission to Cap Haitian, Haiti in 2011 and will be going to an Indian Reservation in Southern California next month. Gavin just returned home from a 10 month tour in Vicenza Italy where we was part of Africa Command. They go to African countries and train African soldiers in military skills before they go to the Sudan or Somalia. We stay very busy with out 2 dogs Selena (a Jack Russell/Australian Cattle dog mix) and Chubbs (a Pit Bull/Boxer) mix, and all of our various projects. I hope all of you are doing well and that your families are well. Drop me an email some time.
