Dear Dianne,
First of all, let me start off by telling you how grateful we are for your support. My name is Corporal Soto, and this is my second deployment to Iraq. I served with First Sergeant Bass last deployment with CAAT 2 (Last deployment, we were known as Mobile Assault Platoon 2). For this deployment, I am with the Headquarters Platoon in Weapons Company serving under First Sergeant Wells.
This year Weapons Company is spread thin throughout the Al Anbar Province. All five platoons within the company (Headquarters Platoon, CAAT 1 Platoon, CAAT 2 Platoon, 81’s Platoon and Sniper Platoon) are all thankful for your support. We greatly appreciate the time and effort you have put toward the support of the war. You may or may not know this, but when you send a package for a Marine, it really brightens their day. The items in the packages such as toys and snacks are usually given to the local Iraqi kids. By sending these items, you help strengthen our relations with the Iraqi people allowing them to feel more comfortable with coalition forces working with them. Without your support we couldn’t possibly reach out to the people of Iraq and help them as much.
Packages that we receive from you maintain troop morale, keep our spirits high, and remind us that we are supported by the people ofAmerica. That reason alone allows us to continue our fight with Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
As I close this letter, let me once again thank you for the support and thought that you had put into each of these packages. We hope to hear from you again soon.
Sincerely,
Corporal Alfredo Soto
