Hello Everyone,

We wanted to let everyone know that Brandon’s Army National Guard unit (Charlie company, based out of Kutztown) has been called up to go overseas.

His tentative orders are leaving in September to go to Mississippi for four months of Striker training, and then going over to Iraq for eight months. He will hopefully be home for Christmas from Dec 22 - Jan 2 before he ships out. He is looking forward to going because as he says, “this is what I signed up for”. However, I am a nervous wreck ... but I am not going to think about until he leaves in Sept.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Take care,

Madeline Seidel
