UPDATE,
The boxes are arriving daily. Buck got back to his unit on Wednesday. Just as he got settled in, his mom called to say that his dad,who has had some serious health issues, is going to pass away in the next 3 to 7 days. The Army put him right back on a plane and he arrived in Tampa, FL this morning. Buck will be heading back to Iraq in about 2 weeks, and he'll be able to take the cigars with him. As unfortunate as the passing of his dad is, it was not unexpected. The Army has gone way out of their way for him, and we are all greatful for that. So thumbs up for the ARMY (they don't ever get any credit for good deeds).
My bro & sis-in law wanted me to say thank you for your generosity. It has brought some happiness at a tough time.
Thanks to all of you,
gary
