On April 4, 2008, Blake's office gave him and the other four people deploying with him to Iraq a going away party. It was very nice and about 40 people showed up. We all went to Ruby Tuesday's and had dinner and just spent time with each other. SFC Pearson had placks made for everyone. Blake was the first person to get his. SFC P gave a really long speech about how she has known Blake since way back in Germany and how special he is to her. And then she brought up his truck and how he has "Southern Thunder" written across the top. (For everyone that doesn't know...that was a truck club that he used to be in.) And everyone started picking at him!!! lol...After that Blake made a speech and we watched everyone else receive their placks. I really hate that Blake is getting deployed in September...but I am really happy that if he has to go, he has got such great people that he knows deploying with him!!!
