AL ANBAR PROVINCE, Iraq (May 23, 2004) -- Far removed from the everyday comforts of home, the Marines and Sailors of Marine Wing Support Squadron 374, Marine Wing Support Group 37, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing serving at distant outposts here...
Maj. Gen. James F. Amos: "I was talking to the Marines - so I could get a read on if they were happy - if there was anything they needed... I didn't get a single Marine who said anything negative."
Ever persistent, Amos..asked (Capt. Valerie) Hodgson numerous times...
"She looked at me and said, 'Sir, send us some ice cream,'"
"I said, 'Captain Hodgson, you've got it. You're talking to the right man.'"

Good guys.

What a sweet story. Good to remind us of how much we take for granted while our soldiers have to live under some severe conditions.
How wonderful that ice cream can make them so happy.
God bless them and keep them safe.
