Tell my wife, Mandy, I love her and miss her and that I wish I could be home to see our baby girl to be born on May 7. I should be coming home in June. I'm looking forward to just being able to hold her. To my family, everything's going good so far … The majority of people that we've dealt with are actually grateful for us being here. This has been a really good experience and hopefully I'll be able to appreciate my country more.
