Too bad about the dogs... Zeph, do you guys wear vests over there (you said you were bullet proof)?
Yes, we have these amazingly heavy vests, but we don't necessarily wear them 24/7... about all I can say on a public thread... They have some pretty hefty plates in them as well... not fun to wear, but better than nothing (?)
I am a small and precious child, my dad's been sent to fight. The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night. He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track. I may be sad, but I am proud. My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war. My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before. Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black. I may be scared, but I am proud. My son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go. There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know. I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack. My heart may break, but I am proud. My husband has got your back.
I am a soldier, serving proudly, standing tall. I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call. I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks. Say a prayer that I'll come home and remember who's got your back.
The times were good, the times were tough, Our love is a river, ever flowing. No matter how tough, we'll get through this stuff, Our hearts are like the gods, everknowing.
Now at home you are almost alone, I will never forget your face. I miss you so, it is well known, I am glad you are saving my place.
Downstairs I dream, we sit by the fire, In a soft and loving daze. You know it is you, that I most admire, As we keep our long embrace.
Miles apart we are separated, But we will always be together. As our love just becomes elongated, You know this will last forever.
Oh... before I forget, since our internet is so slow after they 'fixed' it, I dont wanna try and get to a better thread for this...
----I got my first package today!!! It is awesome!! Thanks to all!! I love the shirt, the watch, the paper, all of the MN stuff, the M&M's (especially hehehe), AUTOGRAPHED copies of The Treasure Hunters Guide and Treasure Hunt History books - very very cooler , CARIBOU coffee-- the best (hehe), Garrison Keillor Audio book, all of the necessities, snacks (complete with toothpaste ), and all of the other stuff that I will have to recall if I can get these homemade cookie crumbs off of my fingers...
Thank you all soooo much!! This is great!
Especially Thank you for the Zephyrus and 1954 buttons... They mean so much to me :)
It means a lot to me that you guys got together to do all of this.
I had an idea a few days ago about creating a special thread just for Zephy, where he can come and tell us what he's up to and share random thoughts, where we can talk about him behind his back...er...talk to him, and where is family members can come to give us all updates and such.
What do you guys think? Should we create a new thread, or could this thread serve that purpose? Just noodlin'.
Since this thread was designed to have a short life (just messages to be included with the cardboard cutout), why not transform it into the thread that you suggest? It already has his name in the title. When there are too many threads it tends to get hard to keep up with what is being said, especially when the forum is running slow.
That's okay. I thought I would bring it up here because this seems to be a place people come to to talk to/about Zeph. I agree, whatever he wants is cool. We'll just have to keep an eye out and, if he says no, make sure he's not just being too humble!

Zeph I made you an avatar, I see I am late.
Maisie says "HI"
that's cute.
I am a small and precious child,
my dad's been sent to fight.
The only place I'll see his face,
is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days
for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud.
My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother.
My son has gone to war.
My mind is filled with worries
that I have never known before.
Everyday I try to keep
my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I am proud.
My son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife,
with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified
in a way most never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile
as I watch my husband pack.
My heart may break,
but I am proud.
My husband has got your back.
I am a soldier, serving
proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine
by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing,
the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home
and remember who's got your back.
Happy Valentines Day

Thanks, Liquor Lady, for such a beautiful post! Is it a poem? Or is it a song? Just wondering.
:: all choked up ::Â Â Â Happy Valentines Day Zephy & Zephywife
Happy Valentines to all of you too, and thanks for everything!!
Liquor Lady... ::toughening up:: That was fantastic... where did you ever find that?
The times were good, the times were tough,
Our love is a river, ever flowing.
No matter how tough, we'll get through this stuff,
Our hearts are like the gods, everknowing.
Now at home you are almost alone,
I will never forget your face.
I miss you so, it is well known,
I am glad you are saving my place.
Downstairs I dream, we sit by the fire,
In a soft and loving daze.
You know it is you, that I most admire,
As we keep our long embrace.
Miles apart we are separated,
But we will always be together.
As our love just becomes elongated,
You know this will last forever.
Love ya Stacy!!
::kiss kiss::
Oh sorry man... I'll get the door.

It's up to him.
I wasn't ingoring you. I'm just a doofus bo bo.
I can testify to that.
[Edited by on Feb 14, 2005 at 05:28pm.]
For those who asked....I've heard that poem somewhere before, just decided to see if I could find it on the internet and there it was :)
I wonder if you can sell the doofus shirts??
I want one! (not for ME of course)
And I just know that Jake's gonna show up with a t-shirt next year with a picture of me and "Doofus Bo Bo".
[Edited by on Feb 14, 2005 at 07:24pm.]
Maybe I should make some.....
Now I'm curious...who would you have one of those shirts for, Mom?
cafepress...
could set up
