650th Regional Support Group to deploy



This is from the Channel 8 news 6.21.10 as Darleen's unit prepared for the airport and deployment.

This one is from FOX 5 news 6.21.10, they did a much better cover of the story.



And this is an article from the Las Vegas Review Journal 6.22.10. She is quoted

Eighteen-year-old Pfc. Darleen Dolbee, of Las Vegas, is leaving her parents, Ed and Bonnie Dolbee, and twin sister, Samantha Dolbee, who is also an Army Reserve soldier.

“I think the main thing is that I’m going to be missing my family,” she said. “It’s going to be really hard but I can stick through it.”

So very proud of my Army girl! Her boyfriend Specialist Jeremy Drake (whom she met at work) is in her unit and is deploying as well. They may not be stationed at the same post and will keep us posted.

There is also a slide show in the RJ article online. Get out the kleenex for the slideshow.

Cool! I saw the two videos on your facebook last night; the Review Journal article is well done.

Darleen looks so great. She will be a grown up woman when she comes back. Remember how different you were when you came back from your European trip?

She is a great girl and these will be once-in-a-lifetime experiences that will define her.

Of course we are all concerned for her well being, but through our faith and prayers she will draw strength and the Lord will watch over her.

Jeremy, we love you and thank you for serving our country. Please be safe over there. Seems like just yesterday you moved in across the street from us and now look at you! You are all grown up now. Send us an address when you get settled!

Love, David, Chris, Becca and Davey!
