Received a wonderful letter in the mail from Chris.
The poster and engineer stamp (threw that in as an extra) arrived safely in Iraq. It had told Chris is was meant as a GIFT from me to him, for his service rendered, but he sent along a ck to me. He stated he appreciated my offer of "no charge", but he said he wanted to pay for the items, and said he knew the money would be put to good use.
He said this was his first deployment overseas, and stated, "It just so happens that I was chosen for Irag. I could just as easily ended up in Afghanistan. Maybe on my next tour!"
He went on to say, "Everyone that I have worked with has been kind and helpful. That is much appreciated this far from home."
Well Chris, it is my absolute pleasure to work with you, and I will always support "my boys" overseas.
Essayons and God bless,
