Message from a Soldier Headed Overseas

People ask me why I support the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). To wit:

We will be heading out tomorrow into the other “Stan” to get this adventure rolling. It has been passed to me that internet will be very difficult to come by from now on. Be prepared for radio silence for a while. Just know that I am in good shape and will be thinking of you all along the way.

We are excited for what is to come. I’m really proud of my team and consider myself a fortunate team chief to lead such fine young men into battle. Our mission is tough, but we are tougher.

Please write as often as possible and I promise to write back. Our living conditions are going to be less than desirable so any support will be welcome.
