News from Trey...

Trey was able to call yesterday and sounded in good spirits! He said the chow hall was 'awesome' and the gym was 'sweet'. He seems enamored with the landscape - it is lush and exotic. They are still getting settled and he has not yet received any of his mail.

I am passing along some websites that have been suggested for us to use:
*For info on what is happening at the base (CA) http://www.mccs29palms.com/
*For MOTOMAIL www.motomail.us
*A great family support website is www.marineparents.com (please follow OPSEC rules). Click on the link above then click on Marine parents, 1st Mar Division, 7th Regiment, 1/7.

For mailing packages, make sure you get a flat rate box from the post office and a customs form. You will need an itemized list of the contents of the box. Do not pay for package insurance. Allow 2 to 3 weeks for packages to arrive.

Please keep writing and praying.

  2. Hi Trey!

    We have not met, but I am your grandfather's cousin, Joan Ghirardini Satter, who also grew up in Winchester. I just connected with your Mom and Aunt Kathy on Face Book. I think this blog is a great idea. Love the pictures! You are just as handsome as your grandfather! :-) Good luck over there and thank you for your unselfish service. You are making the world a better place. I will be praying for your safe return. Be well.
