You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for your support and your extremely generous donation of Cigars and humidor.
My platoon went out on a mission this morning and detained a Al-Qaeda terrorist that we've been going after for a while. After a long day we returned to our combat outpost and broke out the Cigars for a celebration. It was perfect timing and YOU made a lot of soldiers very happy. Here are some photos from this afternoon and well as from our earlier patrol.
Thanks again for all your support. I'll send you another e-mail down the road with an update. - Captain J, US Army, Infantry
