When I received this photo from Marine LCPL Wiley Adams, it brought tears to my eyes. Wiley is my daughter’s boyfriend and he and the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, 3rd Platoon 1/8 A Company, are stationed in Iraq.

I always feel so small and helpless when I think of what these men and women are doing overseas, risking their lives to fight for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.

I would like to thank our service men and women overseas, so during the holidays we will be dedicating a portion of this site to them.

If you are serving overseas and have a message for your family and friends back home, send us an email at bittenandbound@gmail.com with your message, along with a photo, or even a video message that you have uploaded to YouTube and we will post them on Bitten and Bound until January 1st.

Do you have a message you would like for us to post to a loved one overseas? Get it to us before January 1st and we will get it posted on the site.
