Employees of BLR,
Thank you so much for all of the care packages you sent to my Company while we were deployed in Iraq. We were able to share everything that you sent with soldiers in my unit along with units that have recently arrived. I apologize for the amount of time it has taken me to write and thank you all I really don’t know where the time has gone. Although this year has been an extremely long and difficult one, it feels like we were just getting off the plane in Kuwait,
The amount of support we have received from back home is truly remarkable and helps us get through this difficult lime The numerous cards and letters from school children to our soldiers for the holidays meant a lot. Whenever possible soldiers attempted to write back to the kids Being in Iraq over the holidays was probably the hardest time for us.
Enclosed are a couple of picture I thought you might like to see. One is our First Platoon posing along a highway with the arches of Baghdad in the background. This platoon was in me Baghdad area for approximately 3 weeks. They performed admirably uncovering a mass gravesite at an Iraqi Prison Complex The second picture is two of my senior Noncommissioned Officers and I getting ready to escort reporters to the town of An Nasiriyah, Iraq to visit several orphanages and schools, This is the town Jessica Lynch was held captive and later rescued from. And lastly, Thanksgiving Day picture of several of my soldiers, my Commander and I as they get ready to bring a Thanksgiving meal up North to the soldiers we had at one of two Dutch Camps
