SGT Charles Duran is feeling sad.  We can't have that now can we!  10 requests since January 3.

And Jason Silva is  having a rather tough time. He has not been requested yet- zero- but he just posted today for the first ouch.

Luis D. Perales still doesn't have many requests.  Only 20 since Sept. and only one of those has been since Christmas.  They say they are living in the stone age under austere conditions.  I have sent several pkgs. to them and ask what they specifically still need but don't hear from them and their updates don't list specific needs.  I'm sure they would appreciate more support.

PFC Frank H. VanDerLinden (7 males/no females) posted today (3/28/08) "sorry i havent written in so long as i stay busy and havent recived very much mail." 12 requests since Jan. 2.

Garin C. Fouts hasn't received anything since signing up.  12 requests since February 11.

Rosemary

PFC Matthew Brinley's posts sound as if they have not received anything since the holidays.  27 requests since December 15.

I requested Jason Silva and sent a letter out today. I will send some packages in the next week.

"were out here on a COP and we can't get to the fob but maybe once every 2 months."

He ends his post by saying...."thanks a lot for what you guys do. its really great knowing we have support back home while were here getting shot at and blown up.  You guys are awesome.  thanks"

My heart goes out to these kids.

Hi:

I sent James Garrett and Claeton Hallet each an Easter box a couple weeks ago. Sent Hallett a couple more boxes on Monday. He's a very nice guy.

Will get another box to James Garrett next week. 

Thanks, STL!!!

I appreciate your efforts to keep us updated on these contacts.  Thanks!
