Requesting a flyby

Dear Air Force officials and whomever else:

I know that your Northern Edge 2008 is the largest military training event in Alaska for the year. I know that it is training our bravest men and women to be able to defend our country against the ugliest of enemies. I know that it is bringing many branches of our military together to collaborate and learn how to better defend our beautiful country. I don't take any of that away from you. I'm just voicing my frustration because you are disturbing my son's naps. You were so close today that I thought you were going to buzz off the top of my tree tops today. Or at least it sounded like you were that close. Seeing how I'm a sick Momma whose suppose to be resting while my Monkey rests, you are making it quite difficult on me. He is now waking up when you do these magnificent flybys with your multimillion dollar airplanes. He will appreciate this in a few years when he can stand with his dad and marvel at all your grandeur. But until then, I only wish you could do these exercises between his naps!! Fat chance I know! But it's worth a try and if anything, it helps a Momma feel better to voice her battles! I guess living an hour from the base doesn't do us any good when you are playing your war games. Until the the 16th of May, I guess we'll drudge through and maybe he will become immune to your noise!

Sincerely,
Monkey's Momma

PS. Thank you very much for being so brave and protecting my family and friends from the ugly enemy. I don't mean this letter to be in anyway disrespectful to the job that you do. You are truly our heroes!!!
