Thank You
From Afghanistan
I would like to say
thank you for the care packages that I have received from Caring
for Troops in the recent months. I have especially enjoyed items
relating to Central Oregon as I am a 3rd generation
native of the Bend area.
I am currently serving
with a Marine Expeditionary Unit in Afghanistan. Surprisingly
the climate is very similar to the High Desert, though a bit
warmer. Here in Kandahar it is slightly cooler than out to the
west in Garmsir where our Marines are operating. Honestly, I can
tolerate this heat better than the humidity of the east coast.
Compared to past
generations that have served in our military we are quite
comfortable here at Lamdajar. Most Marines have
access to the internet, a gym, multiple chow halls and two
different coffee shops on base. As for the Marines in Garmsir,
they are doing a great job at what they do best and that is
defeat the enemy.
The treats you have sent
have been shared with many Marines and, of course, they wanted
me to thank you all for your support and thoughtfulness. Please
keep us in your prayers and thank you again for everything.
Sincerely,
Scott
