Dear Amos
I am writing to you non behalf of all the officiers and soldiers from Afganistan to say thank you very much to you all for the pens. I divided the pens for all the troops and they were happy especially the section commanders for they are the ones who write a lot.
I told them that it was given to us from your group and your cards also were given to them.
It is great to know that our people back home are thinking of us here and it gives us the strength to keep going. Everyone is doing well here and very busy. Some of the guys are starting to rotate on their leave. It is great to see them having a break. It is still very dangerous over here butthey are doing their best. The best thing for them is looking at children and people around in this place have a smiling face because they feel safe when the Australians are around them. It is their job to make a difference in the lives of the people here.
Would you please pass on our sincere thanks to all the members of Ubeaut Woodwork Forums in Australia for the great gifts you have given us. It makes our day a bit easier when we know that you support us. ay God bless you all in the works you are doing there. Keep up the good work.
God Bless Australia.
