I received the following 2 e-mails from Iraq. I have added these to the Mail From The Troops Web Page
My name is SFC xxxxxx and I am stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad Iraq with the 3RD Signal Brigade. I just wanted to tell you thank you very much for the pens you sent they are very much appreciated and your craftsmanship is very beautiful. Myself and my fellow soldiers appreciate your show of support and your generous contribution to our cause here in Iraq. I assure you although many Americans do not think we should be here, the decision is not ours. We are just doing a job like any other American, and we need the support of the American people. It is a morale booster that cannot be replaced, and by you doing what you did it shows that you care and appreciate what we are doing to protect all the freedoms that we all enjoy as Americans. Again, thank you very much and God Bless you and your family.
Sincerely, Yours
SFC xxxxx xxxxx
