Justin's sister, Haley Burrow, lives in Colorado and enlisted all her friends to collect and ship the supplies to Justin. Justin is the son of Lucy Heide of Corpus Christi. Justin and the rest of his outfit is due to return to Ft. Riley, Kansas, on April 18th. Justin does not know that his Mom will be there to greet him, along with his wife and sisters.
