Sir,

Rec’vd 2 packages yesterday from Operation American Soldier. Because of your generosity and the work done by that organization, I was able to present a box each to some deserving Soldiers, who have not received any mail in the almost 2 months we have been here.

One of them, a 19-old PFC on his very first deployment, was almost able to get the words “thank you” out before his eyes welled up. I nearly shed a tear myself when he was out of the office.

The other, a 23-year old SP4, was so selfless when he received it that he immediately told me he didn’t deserve it, and he had not done anything special.

Each one of the Soldiers was hand-selected by their First Sergeants.

Please pass my sincerest appreciation to everyone responsible for helping.

Warmest
Chris
