In Full Dress Uniform
Here is a photo that Erik took of the Marines at TeenPact National Convention. I wrote about them a couple days ago. Tyler Stockton is from Montana and just left for Iraq for the first time. Mark Drye is from New Hampshire and just left for Iraq for the send time. Tyler’s Mom and sister were at NC. Mark spent a good portion of the weekend running the NC kitchen! He has been around TeenPact for quite a while.

It was good to have Mark & Tyler there, so that we remember what Memorial Day is all about.

[...] I posted about Tyler and Mark in a much earlier post. June, I guess. Well, my friend Suzie posts regularly on Friday’s in honor of those she knows who are serving bravely across the ocean. Today she posted Mark’s address and asked folks to write. I occured to me, that while I’ve been despondent over the fact that people I know, (besides me and the kids,) aren’t writing to him, I have been just as at fault for not writing to Mark and Tyler. So, I scribbled Mark’s address onto a post card, jotted a short note, and put a stamp on it, (ok, it was a 39 cent stamp, but I wasn’t about to let my lack of post card stamps prevent me from finally getting a note out to him…I’ll buy some post card stamps this week.) I don’t know Mark that well, but I did meet him while at National Convention, and I do think about him and pray for him. So, scribbling his address on the card was quite a feat, and I must say it was hard fitting it all neatly and clearly! So, here is my idea. I went into my software and copied his address from Suzie’s blog post and pasted it into the address box. I then printed it on 10 of the labels on a sheet of 30, (In Microsoft Picture It! you can select how many labels you want to print on to at a time.) Then I changed the address and copied Tyler’s address from Becky’s Blog post and pasted it into the address block. Then I printed off 10 of those on the same sheet. Lastly, I pasted Fran’s address in and printed off 10 copies on that same sheet of 30. Now, I can write a quick note, and the 10pt font is clear to read and fits on any postcard! [...]
