Letter of Thanks from American soldier in Mideast

I received the first seven packages today. Thanks for sending the valentine cards ... I went around to each of my soldiers and gave them a card for their wives or moms ... will they send them? Who knows ... but at least we tried ... When you're dealing with a bunch of 20-21 year old kids, a lot of times they don't realize how important it is for them to send out cards...they just want to receive them.

Anyway, I'm addicted to chocolate and my supply was running critically low...now thanks to you all I have a whole drawer full of chocolate ... that should last me a month or so...

... my replacement arrived yesterday ... So, I'll have to bring my replacement up to speed with your group so that he can distribute the goodies you send ... Thanks again for the packages.
