Messinger Update

I just wanted to send a short note on the status of my family. I am the youngest son of Arthur Messinger (of San Manuel, AZ). Most of the family knows me as Matthew but I have gone by David (my middle name) since joining the military. I am currently in the Army stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. I have been in the Army for 9 years now and have progressed through the ranks to Staff Sergeant. I have been deployed twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. I am looking at being deployed back to Iraq within the next year or so (depending on who is elected into office this month). I have been happily married since February of 2002 to a wonderful woman named Brianna. I have custody of my son Ty (13) and 2 children with Brianna named Liahm (3) and Brock (7 months). Brianna is a Private Duty Nurse who works for a family that has a 2 year old child that has a (please excuse the spelling) treakiotomy. She has been a LPN for a year now and is going back to school in the next year to get her RN. As things change and progress in my family I will send e-mails to update you on things. I am looking for a promotion here in the Army within the next year so I will send updates on that as well. Thanks for your time and the blog that you have started as it keeps me up to date on the family "happenings". I have been out of the loop for so many years now it is nice to know what is going on in the family.

Thanks again
David Messinger
