On behalf of TF Rakkasan and myself let me thank you for your letter, your kind thoughts and most important you support. Your desire to send care packages to the soldiers of TF Rakkasan is wonderful in itself. We are lucky here because we have had the support of you great Americans every since we got here. As for the packages we will be deploying home soon after 7 months and I am afraid your packages would get lost in the system somewhere, but please know your letter and thoughts are more important to us than a package and for that we can't thank you enough!

Sincerely,
R. Herman

Lady, I can't remember what a woman Marine was called in WWII but I was just a kid then and facinated already by women. When I entered the AF woman were still called WAF's. I worked with two weather officers,one was in VietNam. The AF space programs has had many women. Jen was one! You now know that I love all women in uniform and your service deserves this tribute. This occasion made me remember my older brother,Carl. He enlisted in the USAF right out of HS in 1952 and went to Korea after the "truce". I've been looking at his pictures too.
