In this week’s print edition of the Jordan Independent, you can read about how Connie Hennen sent boxes of holiday cookies to her son Adam, who is stationed with the U.S. Army National Guard in Iraq. You can read the story and see pictures of the cookie decorating here: http://www.jordannews.com/node/892 [1].

Adam Hennen recently responded to an e-mail from reporter Brandon Otte. He had this to say:

"It has been a little hectic lately around here (or at least with me). I have been moving around new jobs lately, so that is why. Currently, I am working for the 15th BSTB (Brigade Special Troops Battalion). Basically, I am working with information and supply for the brigade.

"Being away from family and friends is always a struggle. But I have learned over time now that it is something that is sacrificed for a better cause. I know that when I do come back, that they will all be anxious (as I too) to see them once again."

Hennen has agreed to answer any questions from the readers of the Independent. You can ask your question in this forum, and they will be sent to Hennen. He said he would do his best to answer the questions.
