Thank you for your letter. I appreciate you taking the time to write to a complete stranger. Makes me feel wonderful to know that there are still so many great Americans that have been behind the military up until now. All your support is greatly appreciated. America stands for freedom, and thats what we will defend. It's because of people like yourself that America has always been strong and fearless. Thank you for all your support. God Bless you and your family. Take care of yourself.

Another one from Iraq~
Hello, how are you doing? I'm doing great, just ready to get back to family and friends.. Your letter was very inspiring and I let a few others read it so they too could see how greatly our work is appreciated. Sometimes we sit around and wonder what we are really doing here, but your letter pretty much hit it right on the dot. lol I'm 23 years old and been in the army for almost three years now and I'm about to get promoted to Sgt.. Should have been promoted a few months back, but my job is a "fight for anything everyday". I'm a sniper in a recon platoon and have been doing this since I came into the army. I love what I do, but don't think I could do it for 20 yrs. Real world missions put alot of stress and pictures in your head. We get used alot, all over this country, so we travel pretty frequently. You asked about A/C in your letter. lol That is funny you ask. We have it for about 5 minutes then it goes out for about 2 hours. So, we do, but we don't! lol It was very hot over here this summer..it's starting to cool down tho. Again, I want to thank you for your support and time. I hope to hear back from you soon. God Bless you and your family. Take care.
