Mainly, her pretty car.  So in this last box of goodies, I sent her an 8 X 10 of her 1992 25th Anniversary Special Edition Chevy Camaro.  It is a cutie, I will admit. Not perfect, but a cutie. I just wish I was a better photographer...

We don't know her route, or when she will actually arrive in Iraq, but at least we finally got her official pictures.  She has grown up so much, it makes me feel old.  Her picture, which was taken in the last few months, is below:

Her beret is red because she is attached to the 82nd Airborne Division, though her job in Iraq will be as an MP.

This is very different from her other "military" outfits---dresses she wore to the Marine Corp Birthday Ball.
