Dear Family and Friends:

Manuel is doing great and anxious to be back with us all.
It seems as though the current status for a troop surge will be made shortly, let us all hope so for our loved ones currently serving a deployment as well as for our beloved country.
This past weeks news from Fort Hood had already reached overseas to our loved ones serving our Great Nation. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of this tragedy. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so very deeply saddened for your loss.
There is still hope for America, although the tragedies we see on national T.V. everyday make it seem near impossible at times, but I believe with the right decisions made in Washington that this great Nation will come out of this safer and more resilient than ever. Keep up your vigilant stance America , those who do evil against this great nation will not win.
Happy 234th Birthday to the U.S. Marine corps. today! Thank you to all who serve this country, and a very special thanks to the 2/8 Golf Company and my son PFC. Manuel E. Urrego for your dedication and sacrifice for all of us. We are all so very proud of you! ... You are all to be Congratulated for a job well done!
