On The Move

Ryan is officially on the move! His things have been packed up and picked up. They are now making the long journey back to the US of A, and within a few more days Ryan will be making that trip too. For the past few weeks it has been a scavenger hunt to get all the signatures that he has needed to leave Italy. There has been a lot of stress as far as deadlines, papers, and plans go. However, now that the paper work is almost done, the idea of actually leaving is settling in. Ryan has made wonderful friends in Italy - brothers to be exact. They have experienced things together in Afghanistan that many of us will never know about. They have also had some of the best times together, just being guys. Even though Ryan has a lot to look forward to in the future, I know it is hard for him to leave this part of his life in the past. Ryan's job is something that he loves and has always given his dedication to. There are some pretty fantastic Sky Soldiers in Italy that will ALWAYS be a part of his life. Although distance will now be a dividing factor, we look forward to keeping in touch with many of them!
