You're a dynamo! The troops in Ramadi and Baghdad and Afghanistan are blessed!
EMAIL from RAMADI:
Hello Patty!
I got the box of goodies and movies today. Thank you very much!. I watched Flight 93 already right when I opened the box. I was on the edge of my seat and I swear I could feel my heart racing like I was there.
The dried fruit are AWESOME! That is a very good bag. It had a nice selection. Keep those in mind. So how are things? ****
The wedding plans are going real smooth. My last hurdle is to finish paying for the flowers and the food. I wille lots of pictures taken and a couple family ones of my kids and [fiancee's ] kids together and with us in a family portrait.
Things here ahve been quiet. With Ramadan starting soon we expect activity to pick up. They know we will be giving them more room to do things since it is their holy month. But we expect radicalist to try to exploit the situation. I wish I was going to be here with my guys during the heightened activities but oh well. I guess 1 RPG close call is sufficeint.
Hot to run for now. Thank you very much for everything Patty and take care.
