Minnesotan's Military Appreciation Fund

A few months ago, the Minnesotan's Military Appreciation Fund (MMAF) sent out an email asking for some photos of our troops so they could put together a little multimedia presentation. I sent in a few photos of Amy and Josh. I never really thought anything of it and in fact, I forgot that I'd even emailed them some photos.

Tonight, I got an email reminder of the annual Military Appreciation Day Run/Walk that will be in Minneapolis this September. (Unfortunately, it is on a day when we have some mandatory National Guard training to attend so we won't be at the run/walk.) I decided to go to the MMAF website just to see what they've been up to and to my surprise saw a photo of Amy right on their main page! It was here: http://www.thankmntroops.org/MMAFhtmlindex.html

And if by the time you read this post they have changed the photo to something else, you can check out the multimedia presentation that includes Josh and Amy here: THANK YOU, MINNESOTA

Just thought I'd share!

We are okay

I just wanted to reassure our friends and family that we were NOT involved in the I-35W bridge collapse that happened in Minneapolis today. While it is a route that we have taken recently, we were NOT on the bridge when it fell. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who can't get ahold of their loved ones at this time.
