Josh,
I knew I said I wouldn't get one, but where are you after I bought a bike. Not a Harley, but I will slow down and grow up someday. Can't wait till you get back and hear some stories and go riding. Remember to duck quick. Wishing I could be there with you..

Hey dude, I wanted to say hey and tell you too stay strong. Your a good man and always remember that what you are doing is bigger that you can imagine. We serve for the future of our children. Looks like my oldest boy will be joining next summer. I'm hoping he stays on track with it. Stay safe and keep your eyes open.

Sorry I missed when you called the PD the other day. It's good to hear that you're doing well and getting a little sun! We missed you at the tournament this year although Mikey said he looks alot better on a bike than you do. Summer's in full swing here and we need you back to cover all this OT and special duty...
Keep your head down, stay safe and we'll see you back in the big "D" soon.

Hi babe!
It has been so good to hear your voice! Alot of people have called to ask about you. Everyone has told me how proud they are of you and all the Marines with you! There are alot of prayers going out for all of you. I have called everyone who called to tell them I heard from you. Everything is ok at home! I miss you and I love you so much! I can't wait to talk to you again!! - Jackie


5.14.05
Hey Joshie!
We miss you so very much!! Everyday we are thinking of you and praying for you. Jackie is preparing your home for that new little baby girl and we talk everyday about when she will be here and in your arms! Jackie is the strongest girl I have ever known-she is really holding to that promise she made to you. When she talks about you there is nothing but pride in her voice. We all know you have a hedge of protection all around you because we pray for it many times a day. We love you and can't wait for you to be home!
Love,
Nic and Erin

Hi Josh,
Just a quick note to say hello and introduce myself. I saw you are with Dublin and I am a Columbus SWAT sergeant. I totally respect you for re-enlisting and wanted to offer my support if you ever need anything. I am still in the Air National Guard and have been in the sandbox three times now - (Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Iraqi Freedom). Is Collin Brintlinger in your unit? His Dad is on my team with Columbus. Anyway, thanks for your service and I'm always available for anything you need.

Everyone is well, just thinking and praying for you and all your fellow Marines' safety. I love you and miss you so much! Your baby girl is doing great, just growing everyday! I can't wait til she arrives and you get home! Love ya! Jackie

Hey, Josh the last time I ran into you was at the Golf Club of Dublin. I really admire the fact that you re-enlisted. I'm sorry to hear about Derga. What are things like over there? Do you guys hump alot or are you mostly transported by vehicle? Little, & Devine say hello.
Day.

Hey Sarge:
Sorry I haven't written in awhile but things in the "State up North" have been very busy. Between school, Abby, and work I have been pulling 18 hour days pretty regularly. The class I'm in right now ends next week on 5-6-05. I'm done with accounting at that point. I've signed up for two classes beginning May 23rd. We will be in Ohio the weekend of May 7th. Amanda and I are seeing a show in Cincinnati on May 8th. Abby is just beginning to crawl and she has a tooth that is beginning to poke through. If you haven't heard by now there has been some interesting developments lately......
Come home soon,
Chris

Jackie gave me this email and message board. Read that Dave and Becky finished your deck. Can't wait to have some wings and Buds on it. Everyone is well. Jackie looks great even though she says she feels big. Carol is settling back in after the whole month of March being a nanny to Ryan. Cleaned out the woods to see if the real trees, not the dead ones, can grow. The mulch is next. Played golf last two Saturdays and did O.K. Moments of greatness but the usual early season screw ups. Take care. Dad
4.17.05
HEY Josh,
We spent the day at your house working on your beautiful deck. It is finished and it looks great. Speaking of looking great, your wife looks pretty great carrying that sweet baby of yours. WE miss you. We are still praying for you. Please take care. We love you. Dave and Becky
4.17.05
Hi babe! Hope you are doing well! I miss you so much. We only have 5 more days to find out if we are having a baby boy or baby girl! I can't wait! Everyone here at home is doing well. Just know that you are missed and loved by everyone! Be safe and take care! Hope to talk to you soon! I love you so much! Jackie
