Some of Mudville's regular readers may have noticed that I haven't been doing the Dawn Patrol on Sundays. This is mainly for selfish reasons, I need the break, however I will continue to blog when the need arises. That time is now.
I want to introduce a couple of bloggers I discovered last week, "Two Blue Lines" and "My Hero". These blogs are of National Guardsman's wives. Their husbands are in the same unit and are currently deployed in Iraq. They also have blogs called "Middle of Nowhere and Two Feet from Hell" and "Hello from Hell". I've known of these milblogs for a while but for whatever reason they haven't posted alot. I've linked "Middle of Nowhere and Two Feet from Hell " from time to time.
They are from Mississippi and many of the soldiers in their unit and outside their unit, as you know, have been affected by this hurricane. Their wives are coordinating efforts to help service personnel in Iraq to locate their missing families.
Efforts are underway to reach even more areas and more shelters and donation centers in Mississippi offering clothing and supplies to attempt to locate the family members of soldiers and let these worried soldiers know they are alright and what shelter or relative they are staying with. I am sure our list will continue to grow, but I want to post this list for anyone with information that can help me contact a family that has a soldier in Iraq, Afganistan or North Korea that they need to reach and give information too. We have a way to contact these men and women overseas quicker than the Red Cross in most cases. We have husbands that are sleeping in the cot next to them. Your message will go straight to them and not go through the long list of twenty people at the government agencies that have promised to help and haven't.Please read through this list and pass it on. If you have information concerning family members for any of these soldiers, please email me at
They have compiled a list of 31 names so far and it's sure to grow. If any one has any information please go to their site and pass this information on.
Be sure to pass any information to Army National Guard who are working diligently to locate all affected military families.
ARMY NATIONAL GUARD HELPLINE: 1-888-777-7731
And please let's not forget that the Defend America site is an excellent resource of phone numbers, web links, and contact information for GIs and their families displaced by the storm.
Let's make this happen. Let's reunite these families.
