Hope you all had very happy holidays. Things over here are going as well as can be expected. Things are starting
to slow down a little, its getting to cold for the bad guys to come out and play. I have been living in western
Afghanistan, about 28 miles from the Iranian boarder. There aren't many of us here, we started with 12 a few months
ago and are finally up to 28.
Friends,
We have started putting up Christmas decorations all over our area. It helps many people
have hope. We have passed out many homemade cookies with much gratitude form the Soldiers
especially the ones that had to work when we had the big Thanksgiving meal. It is hard to
explain how much it helps us. It is interesting, we do not need much because we have a
DFAC (Cafeteria), but again we do need the support. Imagine living in a large tent upon a
mountain having a cafeteria for your food, though many have food brought out to their area
when they work at least 12 hours a day 7 days a week and cannot walk to the cafeteria. We
need the support you give to make life more bearable, and we have a connection with our
country. I know many Soldiers take for granted what you do for them, and do not see the
sacrifices YOU make. If I could write everyone individually for all the love gifts I have
received in my taskforce I would not do anything but write!!!!
I Say thanks again for the gift giving people in a season known for hope!
Here are a few pictures, though I am not done using what you all gave to me to give to our troops.

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.
