I've heard from my first soldier!

He's sent a picture along with a very nice note.
Enjoy! and Merry Christmas!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Rose,
Thank you so much for the package! I can really use everything you sent. I really appreciate the support you have for not only me and the men and woman I am currently serving with here, but also all my brothers in arms across the middle east.

To tell you alittle about myself; I am 21yrs. Old, I joined the Air Force when I was 17yrs. old on June 11, 2001. I was stationed in Korea for 1 year and then got stationed at Patrick AFB, FL. Where I have been for the past 2 years. In those 2 years at Parick I have deployed to Saudi Arabi, Iraq and now to my current location where I have been here since Sept. and wont be coming home until sometime in March. I just got engaged on Mother's Day this past spring to my high school sweetheart and we have our wedding all planned out for June 25 of 2005 (basically 2 months after I get home) I don’t even get to help that much with the planning. She's great though, she is in College right now finishing up her last year in Nuclear Medicine with a GPA of 3.8, plus doing all of the wedding arrangements. Once I get out in 2 years I will become a deputy sheriff in Florida. I like to listen to country music and go to the gym, that’s about it besides playing basketball. Well I better be going thanks again for the treats and hope to hear from you again via email. I attached a picture or two of me that was taken in a couple of days ago. Thanks again..
