To my Soldier

I just got back from the post office. I mailed my soldier James in Iraq a box of goodies for Christmas. It doesn't seem like very much when I think of those kids over there away from their families during the holidays. So if you are writing out Christmas cards and you have an extra one, a spare postage stamp and a few moments, I would ask that you send him a holiday greeting. James is stationed on Camp Striker in the Victory Base Complex in Baghdad. He is from Illinois. He has a five year old daughter waiting for him there. Just tell him "thanks for your service" and that you're my friend or family member. I'm sure he would appreciate getting your card during the holidays.
