Missing the season

MajorFalcon92 · Post by **MajorFalcon92** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 3:10 pm

Fellow Falcons Friends,

We received our orders this past weekend for a 1 year sunny vacation where there is plenty of sand, little beach, & some of the natives are not too friendly.

It will be the first BG Football Season I will miss since first attending the university back in 1988. Unfortunately, without getting too specific on our time schedule, it appears I will miss the next season as well, since we are not potentially due back until late 2006. Hopefully in time for the bowl game next season!

Looks like I should be able to catch the Wisconsin game on TV, as we do not leave until a little later in the month.

I will try to check-in once in a while to see how the season is unfolding & to keep everyone up-to-date.

If anyone has ability to record the televised games, I would be more than happy to view them while down-range.

I will still be lurking around here when I can until I leave to learn the latest on the upcoming season.

PM me if you would like my official email address & if anything changes I will let everyone know.

GOOD LUCK FALCONS!

Mitch,

I was afraid this day would come. My prayers are with you and your family for a safe return.
Your spirit will be with us at every tailgate and game.
God bless you, man.

Mitch,

Thoughts and prayers my friend! Thanks for all that you have done with helping with the DVDs and being such a true BG fan. I look forward to meeting up with you in the near future when you get back for a BG game!

Oh Lord. Good luck and be safe. I'll send you a care package with some stuff in it if you need a little piece of BG..

We wish you a safe journey there and back. We will be thinking of you often. I will, especially, be thinking of you when the Falcon Icers play the Bucks!! Will you have access to the computer to keep up on things here???? It would be great to get monthly (or more often) reports on how you are doing over there. A friend of ours recently returned from Bagdad and while there sent weekly emails telling us what he was up to (as much as he could). Thank you for what you and your fellow troops are doing for us over here!!! GODSPEED!!!

Keep safe. We need you back for the '06 defending champion season.

Mitch: Since I know you will miss seeing the Falcon Icers play (as well as the football team, of course), I found out that there is an Iraq Indoor Hockey League!!! Maybe you could go and watch them play!!! Here is a thread from USCHO that someone posted about it asking for equipment donations for them!

Good Luck Mitch! You will be sorely missed around here, but I thank you for what you're doing as well.

If I had TIVO I'd make some DVD's for you!

Thank you Mitch, for what you are doing and for sacrificing so much for the freedom of the USA. I salute you, pray for you, and hope you stay safe.
