| Penny Shamy’s only child is Marine Gunnery Sgt. Anthony Shamy, a motor transport chief now working as a career planner for the 3rd Marine Division Reconnaissance Battalion in Okinawa. Anthony, a veteran of the Persian Gulf War and the Kosovo conflict, has three children with his wife, Tammy. He joined the Marines right out of high school and has been in uniform for more than 13 years. My dear Gunny or, as you will always be to me, ynot: Again we come to another conflict that is putting America to the test. I know without a doubt that we will succeed. You have the honor, courage and commitment that it takes to get the job done. |
| Navy Lt. Cauldon Dean Quinn lives with his wife, Tabby, in the San Diego area, where he is a supply officer assigned to VS-41, an air training squadron at Naval Air Station North Island, Calif. Quinn volunteered Oct. 7 for duty with Task Force 58 in Afghanistan. Tabby, How goes it? How are the dogs? How is your mother? I hope the two of you are not too depressed about Christmas just not being Christmas this year. All this means is that we will have to go all out next year. We will be the MOST festive house on the block next year.
