Email from an NPTT unit at Camp Liberty at Baghdad. [I inquired if the Petzl Tactikka Plus headlamps had arrived, which Enterprise, jtill and manna helped finance.]

Patty,

Yes, thank you very much! They came in handy the very next night, so they are very much appreciated. I don’t think there’s a problem with the batteries—the ones in the package work fine, and we have a good supply of lithium ones already for replacement. [The package comes now with simple coppertop batteries, not lithium as in the past.]

Thank you all for your time and efforts. It really makes a difference in our lives here, and we freely share everything we receive with the other two transition teams co-located with us. The movies will be great—thank you. Whatever you include is most gratefully appreciated! [Have Planet Earth TV series, Season 6 of Smallville, and Gettysburg going in the box with some Halloween candy this week.]

I would like to send out some more headlamps to the other NPTT unit we are in contact with, but I will need another $100 in donations to swing it. If several people want to help out with pledges for this coming month, let me know. :-)

Thanks! It is personally and deeply gratifying to know that our guys received something that was BOTH wanted and needed! As before, I will pledge my help with the next order. Just tell me how much.

You know you can count on the usual check from me right around 11/1.
