Light at the end of the tunnel...

I got this right when it came in my e-mail . . . It is 12:30 here in the morning. We just finished for the day. There has been some activity but I am fine, in case you see anything in the news. But I have big news for everyone. We just came from midnight chow, and what should appear before our wondering eyes in large groups in the dining facility but people in very clean and nice uniforms with strange unit patches on their shoulders. Could it be... We approached them and asked the question, "Hey, Are you guys from Illinois?" Yes, that is right... The advanced party from Illinois has arrived. We all took turns shaking hands and giving big hugs. haha. We were so happy, because although they are not here to replace us, it means there is light at the end of the tunnel. And it means they are actually coming. People kept saying I have never seem you smile so much. haha. Now I am very tired and I am going to collapse into bed, happy. I just wanted to share the good news.
