Binka is Traveling to Germany NOW ... She'll See Ben TONIGHT!

[Binka]

Hi Everyone,

I have Good News to share!

We got information late yesterday afternoon that Ben was on a plane heading from Balad, Iraq to Germany and was due to arrive at 7:15pm.


With that news, I was able to finally make flight arrangements for Binka, got the tickets, and as I am writing this, she is heading off to Germany and will be by Ben's side tonight, holding him so tight and close, with so much Love which is beyond what words can describe. We share with you the Love, Peace and Joy knowing that he is alive and will be alright. We want to Thank Each and Every One here on DU for you thoughtful prayers, thoughts and concerns! You have no idea what that has and does mean to us. You have helped ease the pain and burden of this very sad and difficult situation. Before Binka left this morning, I printed out the responses to Binka's original post, and the Beautiful and Thoughtful Post for the Lighting of candles and prayers for Ben... she will be sharing them with Ben later this week. I am sure that he will be so touched to know that there is so much Love, well wishes and prayers from our extended family at DU!

For the Du'ers in Germany who would like to get in touch with Binka, please PM me or send a private email to [e-mail], and we can share contact info... she'll be arriving this afternoon at 16:25 and the Marines have provided an escort to take her to Ben. They also are making housing arrangements for her, Major H has been a guardian angel for our family!


Sorry I am all over the place here, but I want you to know that as soon as Ben landed, a Sgt. dialed our Number and we spoke to Ben... I sounded the best that he sounded in 2 days, and he was so overjoyed to know that Mary would be by his side tonight! The Good Vibes and Prayers are Working, please keep Ben and Binka in your thoughts!

That is all for now, I promise to write more as I get more information about his situation.


PEACE & LOVE To You ALL!!!!
Ray, Mary, Ben, and Peyton
