*snif* Destructor ain't so bad after all. Look what he can do.

Got I just got a letter from Mike today! Boy, was I surprised. The letter is dated April 26, 2004, and was a thank you for the last package that I sent him. Mike gave me some more details.
Mike is staying at Baghdad International Airport, so his living accomodations aren't too bad.
Mike said that his unit got in a shootout with 5 Iraqi Policemen in Najaf, and Mike killed one of them. Mike said that the 5 IPs started shooting at 23 U.S. soldiers (including Mike). According to Mike the Iraqis didn't have a chance, so it ended quickly. No one can understand why those Iraqis attacked a larger, better armed group of soldiers. I guess that was some of those Iraqi Police volunteers that didn't get their backgrounds checked out too well!
Mike is okay, and counting the days. He's supposed to come home somewhere around Aug. 1st to the 15th. We're all hoping that he will be home as scheduled.
I've got a money order, and I'll knock out a short letter, and get that money in the mail to you tonight. Thanks again for what you've done for Mike. I really appreciate it.
Sincerely, Destructor

Recognizing Sean Astin of "Lord of the Rings" fame, Kerry announced, "You all know him as Frodo from "Lord of the Wings," his real name is Sean Astin." After locating "Wings" star Astin mouthing "Sam" from his seat, the rarely flustered Kerry corrected, "Sam! What am I saying? I'm sorry. Sam, Sam.
