On Oct 1st, 2005 I got a letter in the mail. After 3 1/2 years out of the Army National Guard they called me back up. I had to report Oct. 30th. This is my journal from the day I reported. Hope you like it. If anyone would like to send me mail my address is: SPC Sanning, Stacy M.*next line*MNF-I STRATEFF(Press Desk)*next line*APO-AE 09316
Hello all, I love getting comments from everyone but if you would like a reply I need your email address. Alot of you write a name with no way to reply. If you mean to do this then no problem, I just didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring their comments.

I'm pretty laid back, maybe even too much so. I probably don't worry about things as much as I should. I hate stress and drama. Just let me know when it's all over and everyone is smiling again. That's what it all comes down to I guess...I work as hard as I can to be a happy person.
The military is only going to help with my first year of college so I'm going to really need some help paying for the rest. I figured if everyone who see this can toss even a dollar my way it would help tremendously.
Family and friends: Instead of birthday presents and Christmas gifts you could just take a minute to donate here and help me further myself!

Via BlackFive (voted best military blog, 2004), another version of a traditional yuletide poem. This one is set far from the madding crowd of Beltway and Mall, the foto-ops and sound bites, neo-cons and neo-coms, Mother Sheehanites and Haliburtonites, the pros, the cons, the 'he lied' and 'look who died.' This is about a man, un-sung, un-celebrated. It begins...
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MY FRIEND
‘Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney, with presents to give
and to see just who in this home did live.
As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand.
On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land.
With medals and badges, awards of all kind,
a sobering thought soon came to my mind.
For this house was different, unlike any I’d seen.
This was the home of a U.S. Marine......(full text via site......)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from dan!
