Thank youA very warm, sincere and truly appreciated THANK

YOU.This is to the many people who helped support the

soldiers of the 1133rd TC/3368th HET Company thispast year.

Starting with Mason City High School for a send offlocation. To the community members, attending thesend off, who placed patriotic signs in their yards andmagnets on their autos! The folks who wrapped Christ-mas gifts, those who donated cookie dough and cookies,and the many schools who gathered candy for the Easterbags. From the businesses who gave us discounts. Forproducts such as soda, pizza, and the use of a big screenTV. The business, that ordered and prepared the yellowroses for the homecoming event. To the businesses whodonated money. This paid for refreshments at differentevents, decorations, and the yellow roses for homecom-ing. To the fairgrounds personnel for their help, inpreparing for this homecoming event. To the peoplewho helped at the FRG meetings with child care. For theguests, at our FRG meetings, during different deploy-ment phases. Employers who allowed the time for familymembers when their soldier was home on leave. To indi-viduals who helped family members, while their soldierwas gone! The Project Linus, where blankets were pro-vided to each child who had a deployed parent. Thenon-deployed soldiers, for your help in setting up andtearing down for FRG meetings. Then back to the com-munity for their support, in attending the homecomingceremony in receiving our soldiers home.

My SPECIAL THANKS to SFC Gary Reinholdt of the1133rd TC Iowa National Guard, and State personnel,DJ, Gina, Dan and Capt. Sickles for your help in guid-ing me through this deployment. To be strong for thesoldiers and their families here back home. To familymembers who supported me! THANK YOU! EVERY-ONE!

God saw you getting tired,

A cure was not to be,So he put his arms

around you,And whispered

“Come With Me.”With tearful eyes we watched you

And saw you fade away.Although we loved

you dearly,We could not

make you stay.A golden heart

stopped beating,Your tender hands at rest,

God took you home to prove to us,

He only takes the best.
