This salute is from Robin Gregory to her son PFC Aaron William Oxenford who is with the Army Infantry and deployed to Al-Nasiriyah, Iraq.

Aaron has been in Iraq since May, and was unable to celebrate his first anniversary with his new wife Danielle Oxenford. They were married a year on 8/20/2009 (which was also his Grandmother Carol Smale's birthday).

Aaron has one sister (Kelly Gregory) and two brothers (Kyle Gregory and Jonathan Oxenford).

Aaron is a 2004 graduate of Southern Lehigh High School. Aaron is an avid musician, and plays many different instruments. Aaron is an animal lover and is being missed by his beloved dog Curtis. Aaron will be celebrating his 24th birthday this Halloween.

Be safe, know that we love you, we're all proud of you, and our best wishes for a happy birthday!

Thanks for serving! My father served 30+ years and we enjoyed all of the adventures of being a military family.
