Deanna Massengale a "Blue Star Mom"
has sent us all a letter of invatation to help welcome yet another American Hero, SPC. Joshua Massengale her son home.
Joshua is coming home on leave. I would be honoured and most pleased if you or any of your compatriots could make it out to the football game Friday night at Jellico High School where Joshua and his wife will be. Actually, our whole family will be there - my husband, Johnny is the defensive coordinator for the Blue Devils, and our daughter, Ashley will also be there after she gets done with her classes at UT.
The game is at
7:30 pm at the high school. If you come off the highway at Jellico,
you will go to the Arby's and take a left. Follow the road down until
you see the fence that surrounds the football field and turn into the gate.
I really
appreciate all the support that you and your organizations gives to
our soldiers and their families!
Please keep up
the great mission you are doing!
Thank you for
everything. I hope to see you there.
