I was on another website and a soldier from across the sea emailed me with his full wartime gear, guns strapped, helmet on and he was being silly showing me this pic. I couldn't ask for a better email. He asked me if I sflirt with him..YOU BET I WOULD! The U.S. gives these guys a little piece of home over there. I sent a little guy with a helmet saying something silly. "Do they talk like that on the street of Iraq?" He laughed and said they only say they don't have a gun and learned to curse like the solders.
God speed, my friend.

I was in Iraq for quite awhile. It gets quite boring there when your not being attacked. :smile: So I totally see where he's coming from!

Maybe a group of us can get together and you can get him to send a list of soldiers who have no one to write to them and set up a pen pal thing or something.

Hi, I just got back to read your writing. That's a really nice thought. I can find him again and try to reach out and see if I get a response.

Thanks, guys! If I do hear back, I'll let you know, definitely. He hasn't sent me anything lately.:heart:

Obviously, I don't proofread before 'clicking'. I know you can read it, anyway! I type fast and only proof for accuracy when I have to hand in a paper or send a memo! Thanks, guys.:wink:
