Subject Happy 35th, SGT Wirfs!
To my little brother on your birthday. I'm so proud of you and wish with all my heart I were there to give you birthday hugs and a yummy yellow cake with thick chocolate frosting and 35 sparkling candles. I guess MREs will have to suffice for now. :) Just remember: Good things improve with age. Happy Birthday! I Love You, Julie

Hi Chad,
Just wanted to let you know that all of us in the Mercy (Cedar Rapids) Radiology department are all behind you 100%. Take care of each other, and get home quickly and safely. I think Mr. Tinker is set to give up his VIP parking spot to our returning hero!
Take Care,

Stay safe!! We are thinking of you and are very proud of you!! We talk to Dee and have called your Mom but haven't caught up with her yet. Seem to just miss her at home & at work. I have such a cold she probably doesn't know who it is when I leave the message. When they tell me my voice is gone I just tell them it went to find my mind !!
Love Ya Lots Dad & Pat
