Caryn (LOD: Wm.Cowgill, Erma Cowgill, Rulon Peel) will be deploying to Northern Iraq (a hot area) mid-July. This will be her second tour in three years. She will serve for 15 months, predicting where the enemy will be and their mode of attack. Her husband, Eric, is a Readiness Support Assistant for her unit (the 16th Sustainment Brigade). He works with the families left behind to follow up on their needs while their service member is gone on the mission. Their children, Ashtyn (7) and Matheu (8) attend the local Department of Defense elementary school in Bamberg, Germany.

Caryn is working toward her Bachelors degree in Intelligence Studies. 




Sgt. Elliott Hinckley, U.S. Army Reserve, Iraq

Proud wife Brooke (LOD: Randy Jones, Evalyn Jones, Leslie Peel) & daughter Elee keep the home fires burning with her parents in beautiful Snowflake, AZ. Elliott’s call was sudden: they only had 3 days notice before he was deployed. He arrived in Iraq on Mother’s Day 2008. Specialized in Humvees, Elliott is also working mechanical wizardry on civilian vehicles at the base. His unit has been moved 4 times since he arrived in Iraq. Each move is dangerous as any form of convoy travel is high risk. Family prayers are a powerful and welcome force.

Parents Randy (LOD: Evalyn Jones, Leslie Peel) and Marie Jones report their son’s passion for his field of study; training as a Combat Medic.He completed his 2 year externship at the Navapache Regional Medical Center in Show Low, Arizona as a Surgical tech. Before shipping out from a Chicago airport, Beau and five other soldiers were surprised their meal had been paid for by unknown patriots. Many sincere thanks were offered by complete strangers as they made their way to their gate.
