Dudes... I'm as serious as ****** cancer... no packages.
(That's pretty damn serious)
We get packages regularly. In fact, just today we got a box full of multiple boxes (30-40) of girl scout cookies. Another with kleenex, baby wipes, blistex, etc.
The iPod was over the top. You guys know I truly appreciated that, but please, all the attention is making me feel weird.
I'm in the military. I'm overseas. So are thousands of other guys and girls, most of whom are in more dangerous situations than I am. I've said before that this is a job to me. It's a way to provide for my family. The only thing I know, since I joined at 17. I didn't do this out of any sense of honor, or courage, I did it because I didn't know what else to do and kept doing it because it was paying the bills.
I am very grateful to all of you for supporting me. Your kind words and prayers are all I need and I thank you for them.
