Hello,
I wanted to wish you a happy Christmas and New Year. I hope that all is well and your Christmas wishes were granted.
I want to report to you on the wonderful progress of the "Santa Helper"
Program here at Korean Village, Iraq. It has been a wonderful surprise to get such an amazing amount of support from everyone back in the states. We have received support from every state in the Union. It grew to an unexpected size in a short amount of time. Here is some data to help you understand what has occurred. I have tried to respond to the over 500 emails sent my way. I hope I didn't leave anyone out. We received over 900 packages from small items to very large boxes. All have been logged with the sender's name, date of arrival, items sent, and senders address. We were able to decorate our Mess Hall, Morale building, & chapel and made sure that everyone at Korean Village received a gift. But, due to the overwhelming response I had to give the soldiers more than just one. I don't think they will complain. I received such great support that I was able to package large amounts and send it to other camps in the Anbar province. It has been a very busy two months. But I would have to say that it was a very successful program.
I will continue to try and spread the generosity as far and to as many soldiers as I can while here in Iraq. Your generosity in helping with this program is much appreciated. I am sure that this is one Christmas for many of the soldiers here fighting the War against Terrorism and the remaking of a new government.
Thank you and God Bless!
