Cookies to Qatar

My husband wears a blue star service pin on his business suit. He is always asked what it represents. What is represents is very important to him because he wears it to honor the 22 year old son, Scott, who is serving in the United States Air Force.  My husband wears the pin with great pride because Scott is carrying on his dad's family tradition of serving in the Armed Forces.

Scott is stationed in Germany but since last October he has been deployed to Qatar. On our Skype call at Christmas we were able to get a small view of the base he is making his home for six months. It didn't look like anywhere I would want to be, considering the barracks look like cinderblock fraternity dorm rooms, but I'm very thankful there are kids out there who are willing to make the sacrafice to live like that in service to our country.

This week a phone arrived on our doorstep. Scott had ordered it for himself but the company he purchased it from would not mail it to his military APO address so he had it sent to us. I remailed his phone along with some beef jerky sticks his dad wanted  him to have and a few dozen of our favorite Chewy Ginger cookies. Thank you for serving, Scott. Enjoy the cookies!
