Chris, when you post the address, could you also post a list of things he/they need or want. Like high SPF sunblock, and such. Next time you get talk to him give him a big thank you from me. Keith

I will and thank you!
rice krispy treats
nutter butter cookies
trial mix (i asked about the chocolate and the heat and they don't care cause it would just melt to the peanuts)
maybe a couple magazines (no ****, the military don't like it from what i am being told) Diesel Power or maxum (i guess maxum is ok)
Jerky
I think that is it other than a couple clothing items he asked for.
I appreciate your help!

Thank you guys
Got a call from him this morning. His unit got hit again and lost another HERO. Truck hit a IED and ejected his Sgt out of the truck and the truck landed on him. His best friend was in the truck also and he has a major concussion. Stephen was called out with the wrecker to retrieve the truck.
Keep em in our prayers.
Also, if I could afford it I would go and protest on the capital and call bobo a spineless chicken feces. I was told that one of their (my sons weapons groups) groups had a towel head aiming a RPG at them and was told to stand down and NOT SHOOT!
***!!!!!!!!!! WHY A NO SHOOT ORDER? ARE WE NOT AT WAR? AND THE RPG WAS FIRED AT THEM AND STILL A NO SHOOT ORDER! PANSY WAIST OF SKIN YOU ARE OBAMA KEEPING THEIR HANDS TIED, NOT ENOUGH TROOPS, RAG HEAD YOU ARE!!!

Still praying and wishing well for them. I know what you are going through. 2nd week into my lil bros 2nd tour they lost three guys and my lil bro caught an IED trying to medevac one of them. He was unhurt but still shook everyone up real bad.
They all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers sent Chris.
This potus cares more about civilian casualties of afganistans then he does for our own troups. If we are going second guess whether they are friend or foe rather than engage than we need to bring our troups home.

Prayers sent from Iraq.
I've "been there, done that" with an IED that hit a convoy I was on when I came back from vacation leaving Camp Cedar II. We got lucky because it detonated before the lead vehicle got there. It shook up that truck crew since they were pretty damned close to it when it went off.
If you don't mind, I'll post the address to an all Marine gaming site I'm part of and have a ton of stuff sent to your sons unit.
