Some Sad News and Some Glad News

First the sad news, here is an excerpt from an email mom received yesterday.
"Cpl Jordon Pierson of Milford, Connecticut was Killed In Action on Friday, August 25, 2006 at the age of 21. Cpl Pierson honorably served along side the Marines of Charlie Company 2nd Platoon. Cpl Pierson was said to be "a bring spot in his platoon" as well as "a leader among Marines". Cpl Pierson is undeniably sorely missed and will always hold a dear place in the hearts of those involved with Charlie Company 1/25."

Please add Cpl Pierson and his family to your prayers.

The good news is, we received word that Erick is scheduled to leave Fallujah on September 25th. We are in the last leg here and cannot wait to get him HOME! 29 days and counting.
