EMAIL from STRYKER BRIGADE at MOSUL!
...
Please let [MJY1288}, [kattracks], and [Mr. and Mrs. Abigail Adams] that I have recieved their packages of Christmas Tree, Cabela's Catalog, and lots of Hot Cocoa. All here thank them for their thoughts, time, and packages.
The tree was put up today in our company command post (it was the best spot we could find with electrical hook up).
I was raised to hand write thank you notes, but I have been unable to do so since being here for many reasons, lack of time, envelopes, and the amount of stuff we're receiving being the main reasons. Please pass along this email as my thanks and the thanks from our unit.
I'm keeping everyone's addresses (I rip the return address shipping labels off the boxes) and will make sure to pass along a proper thanks sometime when I'm back in the states (maybe on leave if my wife will allow me the time ;0.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the ping, I'm so glad they got the Trees in time
Woohoo! Thanks for posting the email from Mosul! Glad to hear our boxes are making their way over there.
