Just wanted say thanks to all that continue to send us care packages. All of my soldier sure do appreciate the care packages that have been sent. We all are doing well. Continue to remember all of us in prayer. I will try to post some new pictures over the next few weeks.

Just wanted to take the time out to say thanks to all those that have sent my squad things. Things are starting to get better here. We are getting a day or two a week to relax get rested back up before we are hard at work again. That is a big change over the first hundred days here. Maybe things will continue to improve. Things that the soldiers need are basic shampoo, soap, and basic personal hygiene products. We appreichate all of you that still support us and continue to remember us all in your prayers

Our Soldiers go to an area for long periods of time that is dangerous, is very dirty, and has nothing to keep them busy for MWR while not doing mission. They only have latrines where feces must be burned daily to keep from contaminating the area with disease, and live with local nationals in their immediate area. They get to come back to the FOB every once in a while, but our PX here is always empty since we are in a remote area. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Some items on the Soldiers' request list include but are not limited to: Mach III Razor Blades, Baby Wipes, Beef Jerky, Combs, Shaving Cream, Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap, Body Wash, Toothpaste, Mouthwash, Bungee Cords, Fly Paper, Bug Spray, Pillows, Fans, Toothbrushes, Army Green Socks, Bagged/ Boxed/ Canned Snacks, Canned Air, Coffee, Coffee Filters, Hand Sanitizer, Desk Lamps, Light Bulbs, Fingernail Clippers, Foot Powder, Razors, Word Find Puzzles, Soduko Puzzles, Hunting Books, Dominoes, Cards, Games, Candy, Morale Items, Drink Powders, Air Freshener Spray and stick-Ups, Black Ink Pens, Printers, Printer Cartridges, Batteries (AA, AAA, D, 9v), and other hygiene, food, and morale items. THANK YOU AGAIN AND V/R,
SGT Jonathan Dean
