WHOOOO HOOOOOO! Just got back from the mail room where I got my first piece of mail from CPT Patti down range. The post mark says 11 June (only 6 days to get here!!)

In part here is what she has to say.

I got 3 more boxes from you today. You know how I love getting mail. Its even better when you send me several little boxes...its like Christmas!

Living here in Baghdad is steadily getting better. Each day we are making improvements. Our living quarters are buildings for now...

Anyway we are really doing good. Mission is very busy which makes the day pass quickly.

Keep sending your wonderful packages. Beef jerky would be nice.

I bought some beef jerky on the way home. But you can too, if you like.
