Steve, there's a good chance I spent a few weeks in that "Kuwait Main Area" although nobody was shooting at me. When it's over, she'll be able to tell you where she was. It doesn't help NOW though.

I used to look up at the moon - it always seemed to be a quarter moon there - and think it was the same moon as back home. I watched the transport planes come in from my home base in the US, talk to the crews, and I though of them as some sort of silver tether to home. My best wishes to you and her. I hope she comes home safely - as a SSgt.
