Mission Statement

Feb 17,
Hi HOME,
Due to recent activity the roads were black (no travel) but today they made a postal run and I got all your boxes. Question, is there anything that will go bad? I did want to get some pictures for you but I am leaving for a conference in Qatar in the morning. I was going to wait and open them when I got back on the 28th.

Holy crap, another truck just came in with more! Okay, just opened the box with the knife sharpeners...told you we were fine! Nothing quite as creepy as a room full of people sharpening knives.

Thanks for your continued support, it's much appreciated by all of us!
As far as any special needs/requests go, the below items seem to be "highly desired":

• "Quick fix" microwaveable meals and "cup of pasta" meals (mac and cheese pouches, top ramen noodle, and any tv style dinners that don't require refrigeration)
• Chapstick (Blue or black label)
• Sunscreen (it's easy to get sunburn here with 24 hours of sunlight)
• Tampons, Plastic Applicator (not cardboard)
• Laundry Detergent Pods (they are the little pouches of detergent that melt when they come into contact with water)
• Peanuts, cheese-it crackers, and other various somewhat healthy snacks (candy not preferred)
• Canned spray cheese (for crackers)
• Cologne and perfume (helps when we aren't able to shower for a few days)
• Men's and women's deoderant
• Any short sleeve or long sleeve t-shirts sizes M-XL

Thanks so much! Attached is a picture of some of us from my unit. The mountain in the background of the picture had the top of it shaved off by a glacier (Mt. Dundas). It is finally starting to warm up out here and the snow is slowly starting to melt away. we are so ready for warmer weather!

V/R,

Friends,

I just wanted to share a few photos of the proud men and women you have touched.

Thank you ALL for your heartfelt generosity!

Our Post Exchange is experiencing shortages in every area due to the continued conflict with Pakistan. The majority of our supplies flow through its borders. Your "Care Packages" are providing our troops with the essentials plus morale building supplies that make our days bearable.

Camp Eggers thanks you for remembering us.

You all have made friends forever.

V/r

LARNELL S. THOMPSON, Major, USAF
