Lunch w/ MN Sen. Coleman

Adam had lunch w/ Minnesota Senator, Norm Coleman and other MN soldiers stationed in/near Ramadi, Iraq on September 5, 2007.



The picture was taken by Sen. Coleman's staff. Adam didn't get any photos of his own, but I was able to find this one on Coleman's website. (link to image source page)

If anyone has other photos of Adam in Iraq, it would be appreciated if you could email us a copy.

Adam Back to Iraq

Adam, was home for his two week leave this June and went back to Iraq on July 4th. Here are a few pics. Since the last post, he has been promoted to Specialist.

Received Adam's Address

Yesterday I received a very brief email from Adam with his new post address.
You can contact me if you would like to send him something.

He hasn't asked for anything, so here are a couple things that I can think of:

• Movies (New release DVDs - he has his laptop)
• Blank mini DVDs for his camcorder

As soon as I hear from him, I'll post a general list of things that he and his buddies would appreciate receiving.

Adam in Kuwait

On January 16, 2007 Adam was "shipped off" to the Middle East. As of now he is in Kuwait for training and such.

He's called home a few times and everything appears to be fine. Hopefully he'll get a chance to log on here soon to give everyone an update on how he's doing and post a few pictures.

Adam,
We're constantly thinking about you, and everyone asks how you're doing! Hang in there and call whenever you can. (And don't forget to get lots of video and pictures - we need some 'tough guy' pictures of you and the guys in your unit).

(here are a few pictures of the animals and Mom's new puppy, Tinker - a.k.a. Tink, Tinkler, etc...)

Kid Nailed by Paintball

Here's a video of a little kid taking a paint ball to the head...hilarious or disturbing?

Send Off Party Pics

Here are a couple pics from Adam's Send-Off Party.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and helped put it together!

Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the bingo party or decent shots out by the fire. I think those are on Adam's camera...

Letter from MN Rep. Bud Heidgerken

On Friday, Nov 27, Adam received a nice note of support from Bud Heidgerken, Member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, District 13A.
