Momma Marine!
Life here in good ol’ Afghanistan is coming to a close. We are almost done, just wrapping things up and turning things over. I can’t complain! I’ll be home in time to see the family for Turkey day!
As for sending us more boxes, our mail is getting turned off in a couple of days so no worries. You have done so much already that we are all very appreciative of, especially Cpl Robinson! I dropped something in the mail for you a few days ago as well, hope you can read my handwriting! I can hide that, my poor hand writing and spelling, with emails!
I wanted to tell you thank you again for everything. Sometimes I don’t think people realize the power of not being forgotten. Not that I am asking for anything, I really I can go about my business as a Marine and just be fine. But there are great kids over here doing great things on a daily basis, so it’s nice that occasionally someone such as you shows appreciation. Our country is such that, unless engaged in it, things are free from our mind. The Marines out here performed better than anyone could have even predicted, under conditions that were more dynamic than anyone expected. And ALWAYS came out on top. So again thank you for remembering all of America’s greatest national treasures over here, the county’s youth.
