NYB THANKS THESE FINE PEOPLE FOR THEIR SACRIFICES
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Mr. Bottari,
I just received you care package today
and I would like to so thank you very much. It really helps with my
Marine’s morale while being deployed out here in Iraq. Though, I was the
person the package was sent to I always distribute the contents of the
package to my troops. We are very happy to have received you packages. I
appreciate you writing me the letter, as well. Well, let me tell you about
myself. I am 22 years old with 3 brothers and three sisters (I am the
middle child). I am a Corporal of the Marines. This is my second time to
Iraq and I am very proud to be able to fight for my country and our freedom
for the second time now. Other then that there isn’t much else I can say,
but again thank you for the packages and thank you for you support.
Sincerely,
Cpl Hiddemen
Mr. McSwigin,
I wanted to
thank you for the package you send to us in Afghanistan. It is very
much appreciated! As an avid bow hunter, I was glad to see your
business card. I was stationed at West Point a few years back and
arrowed several New York deer while I was there.
Thanks again for
your support…it really does mean a lot to the soldiers here. Brian

HI HOW IS EVERYTHING OVER THERE AS FOR ME IT'S GETTING HOTTER AND GETTING
READY TO DO SOME HARD TRAINING WITH THE IRAQI'S. THEY ARE VERY EXCITED
TO DO THIS TRAINING AND HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE
THEMSELVES. AS FOR ME I AM DOING GOOD AND MY MARINES SAY HI!!!!!. SORRY
THAT I HAVEN'T REPLIED IN AWHILE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY AND OUR
INTERNET WAS DOWN FOR A WHOLE WEEK DUE TO SAND STORMS. BUT WE ARE BACK
UP AND I WILL TRY TO KEEP IN TOUCH. ANY WORD ON THE LAPTOP IF POSSIBLE IF
NOT WE UNDERSTAND AND I HOPE THAT WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR TOO MUCH IF WE
ARE LET ME KNOW AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO SAY NO, WE UNDERSTAND. MY FAMILY
IS DOING GOOD AND THEY CAN'T WAIT FOR ME TO COME HOME. I TOLD THEM SOON
I WILL BE HOME. SO HOW IS EVERYTHING GOING. HOW IS THE WEATHER? IS IT
HOT, COLD? WELL HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON AND TAKE CARE. LET US DO THE
DIRTY WORK AND FINISH SO EVERYONE CAN COME HOME TO THEIR LOVED ONES.
