My Granddaughter is on the USS Abe Lincoln.

My DGD is aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln...one of our carriers... In an email we just recieved from her she said that CNN had been aboard and took pictures of the crew, spelling out the words "READY NOW"! She said they WERE ready too...and that the officers tell them that this is the real thing...no more games. OH...She is in the "D"....watch for her....LOL

All kidding aside...let's keep our military close in our hearts and prayers.

The picture is Amy when she made E-3...I think she is E-5 now. Proud Nana

Oh Jo, she is so pretty, and you should be proud. We will keep her in our prayers.

Wow! She looks like you!

What does she do on that carrier? (Just curious.)

More prayers going out to all the military. After the Prez's speech today I hope all goes well, with everyone.

"Shoe...thanks...she is an Aviation Tech. Which means she works on the electonic stuff in the jet planes. She is staioned on board with an Air Squadron. Her mother is my DD, weedwalker....of DG...Jo

Jo she sure is pretty. You have everyright to be proud. I will keep her in my prayers.

Roadrunner: What a nice looking young woman. These days we are asking alot of our responsible young people and we should all be keeping them in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing with us.

What are they going to do in the Persian Gulf?

Will keep her in our prayers. She'll make you proud I'm sure.

Prayers for your lovely gradndaughter and all our young men and women in uniform!!!

Jo, praying for your granddaughter's safety as well as all our military people. Your granddaughter is lovely. What a proud grandmother you are, rightly so.

Jo, She's a darling young woman. I too will keep her in my prayers. God love her and all of our wonderful young people in service.

That's my Baby Girl~! Amy works on the actual flight deck. She earned her qualification as "Trouble Shooter" last year. She, and others with this qualification, give those roaring jets the final once over before they are catapulted off the deck of the carrier. She following in her Dad's footsteps as my DH spent 20 years about decks like this one. Every milestone she crosses, he passes on his insignias to her. This year she conpleted her Air Warfare Specialist exams and earned her wings. I still don't know what that means but he was really bustin' his seams with pride because of it.
As for where she is and what they are going to do....Remember, "Loose lips, sink ships!" Maybe that means more to me because the people on those ships are not faceless to me. I wouldn't tell if I knew and she'd be busted if she told. I'll be like everyone else, just like I was during the Bombing of Libya (my DH was on board the USS America at the time).....living for any word that the ships and their crews were safe.

Wow, I am impressed. One of my daughters trained with the Army in Alabama, but didn't make a career of it. I am so proud of all the young women who have proven we can stand up for our country's defense. Jo, she is a lovely lady, and I know you are proud as punch. Weedwalker, one mother of a special woman to another, you did good when you raised that girl!

She really did! Jo

What a beautiful young lady! And thank you so much for serving our country. God bless!

My prayers are with Amy, our military and us all.

How wonderful it is that we are free to do what we choose in life! How thankful I am to the men and women of our country who made us all equal and to those who will fight to maintain our freedom!

God Bless America.

Amy, you go girl!!! And while you're going at it, take good care. You sure have a lot of folks praying for ya! Many thanks to you and your mates/sidekicks/partners/Patriots!

I can see why you are a proud Grandma. I will keep her and all of our troops in my prayers. We need them, we depend on them, and we honor them.

Jo, I say a prayer every night for our president and the men and women who are protecting us.A special prayer for your grandaughter. Love you

Jo,Amy is a beautiful young woman.I know you and the whole family are so proud of her.
