A special request



I interrupt this food blog to bring you a special request...

My son's friend Tyson Serles, a Private First Class in the US Army was critically injured in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan and is now recovering in a hospital in Iraq. You can read more about his story here.

He is there without familiar faces or family, and not only is physically injured, but is mourning the loss of many of his fellow soldiers in the explosion.

His father has asked for cards and letters of encouragement to be sent to his son, so I thought I would pass along the address for those who would be willing to take 5 minutes to lighten this 19 year old boy's load.

Small sacrifice on our part, for one who has already sacrificed so much.

Would you be willing to help?

Here is his address:

PFC Serles, Tyson
FOBTF Sparta
HHT, 1-40 CAV (ABN)
FOB HEIRERA
APO AE 09354


Feel free to pass along this post or info on your blogs, or through emails, or prayer chains, etc.

We are trying to fill his room with cards and letters from people all over the world! Will you help?

Start your weekend off the best way you can...by reaching out to someone in need.

I promise you, you'll be glad you did!
