I love getting mail and today received TWO letters from 3/11 India Btry in Afghanistan. One from LCPL Thompson and one from LCPL Charles A. Thompson....
Now what is so SPECIAL and FUNNY about this is that, I'm pretty sure, they are from the same Marine.
When I first received names to send to I understood: LCPL Thompson and LCPL Charley. It seems that LCPL Thompson, Charles A. may be getting a good amount of boxes. This is a mystery that I will have to wait to solve because mail is the only communication as of now and the letters I received today are post marked 4 July 2009 which may mean mail is speeding up a bit. We can hope. As it stands, LCPL Thompson and LCPL Charley have more coming to them (him).... I'm guessing they are having a good laugh about this and probably need it as much as I needed one this morning. God is good at things like that. I love HIS sense of humor!
Anyway, the letters from the LCPL(s) are for you, too, because this couldn't happen without YOUR SUPPORT.
Thank you Momma Jodi for the package. It could not have reached me at a better time. You actually sent me the one thing I needed. Envelopes. Not to mention all the other items are going to be a nice alternative to MRE's. If there is anything I can do to help you help those who are deployed please let me know.
Thank-you
LCPL Thompson
Thank you Momma Jodi. It's people like you who are willing to do stuff like this out of the kindness in your heart who make those out here realize we are out here for a reason. There's nothing I need, but if you could find the time to, could you just send a letter like the one I just received from you, one with some motivational words. Thanks again momma Jodi

I'm always impressed by their "non need" of items but their willingness to "HELP" us in what ever way they can.... Amazing! Wonderful! Dare I say, Precious! Yes! I'm a MOM I can say it......
THIS, THANK YOU, is sent to all of you who help with SUPPORTING OUR HEROES with your donations of box goodies, letters, cards, money donations and Prayers! We are able to send to more of our Deployed Men and Women because of your help.
Semper Fi,
