Hello from Captain Matory, Golf 2/3

This is why I do what I do! God is certainly "Supporting Our Heroes" how on earth could I do any less. This came from Dianne, in Tampa FL.

Dearest Dianne,

 
I know this message is pretty late considering the wonderful support you and your people have shown Golf 2/3 but we just recently took over an area that had email.  While I always try to impress upon Your Marines that email is a "lazy" form of communication and that writing a letter and mailing it is always preferred when connecting with family and friends back home, I have found that I myself have just got to use email to ensure that folks back home know what is going on.
 
Also, I am not sure if you are aware, but due to our lack of email and internet, I failed to keep up with the Any Marine program so you are actually our sole supporter at this time.  Read More...

Headquarters Platoon 3/4 Checking In

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

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. Read More...

3/4 1st Sgt Wells Checking in

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 More...
