Dear PV,

You have to know that I have been doing all I can with letter writing and email to get the message to the troops that we are with them until the end and beyond. However, with the media concentrating on bad news daily and how we are all going to hell together, the task sometimes is difficult.

Now with this email from Mark in Baghdad, this retired Army Officer has had his morale restored 10 times over. I intend to share it with everyone I know as well and many I don't. I feel confident it will have the same impact on them that it has had on me. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and please share more as they become available.

God bless every soldier in our military, our brave allies, this great country, our President and Free Iraq.

Warmest Regards,

John Douglas
GA State Representative
