Subject: Updates from 1st Sgt Wells & The 3/4
Greetings to all the friends and family of Weapons Company 3/4. I would like to take a moment to update you on what your Marines have been doing in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This year, the way in Iraq has proven to be a very different challenge than what we have historically seen. Now, the fight here has shifted from a high intensity fight to a low intensity campaign. now are Marines are fully engaged in assisting the locals in establishing safe neighborhoods and restoring infrastructure and building a strong government. By helping our Iraqi neighbors to build strong stable communities, the Marines of Weapons Company are ensuring that the insurgency will not regain a foothold once we leave.

from the Home Front
Dear Sgt.
Grit,
I wrote this last week, thinking of mother's
day and having one of my children in a strange and
faraway land. I had a delivery person come in and
ask me who was in the picture on my counter, when I
said my son, he asked where he was, when I said
Iraq, he said (I kid you not), "That's no place to
be, that's not good. We shouldn't even be
there."
I then said to him, "Well, HE thinks it is and THAT'S what counts." Read More...

Friends
and family of Weapons Company, this has been a
great week! Today we received our first round of
packages from some of you. The Marines poured
through the contents immediately and, I am happy to
say that there was not a single item untouched. The
boys loved the pictures and notes that some of you
included in your boxes. It was like a big adventure
for some of them to get to open a box. Some of
these Marines haven't received a box from anyone
yet and we have been here nearly 3 months. Thank
you all so much for your support of these patriots.
It is truly an honor to serve with each and every
one of them. Read
