My personal Note.....

Thank You  Mr. Phinney for helping me,
help the families that were looking for them.  
It was an scary time for all, and it's great to
have them back home.  Amber, those hours
with you during this time, will always have an
huge impact on me, the unknown of weather
your husband is still alive in Iraq will so ever
affect my life.   I felt your pain, as it were my
own.  Having my husband over in Iraq during
this time, I knew it could have easily been
me in your shoes.   I will forever remember
you , Amber and Matt and I thank  Mr. Rick
Blanchard for the email you sent me, your
kind words will stick with me always.  It's
such a blessing to be able to go out and try
and help one person in life, to only find out
you actually ended up saving 17 lives.    
Melissa, if you would like a copy of this
picture with your uncle in it, email me,
and I can probably get a pretty good
copy for you.   I
