Hello From Mount Shasta, California.

I just want any soldier reading this to know how proud we all are of you.  I am a mom, a 911 medical and fire dispatcher, and love living in the mountains.  It's absolutely beautiful here.  I do't know that I could handle being inI raq or Afghanistan, and admire all of you and your ability to adapt.  I just gor my first 2 addresses, and will be sending some care packages out this week.  I hear beef jerky and hygeine stuff is popular.  Can't wait till you get the packages and letters. Talk to you all soon.
