our soldier

got a postcard from my brother (greta's uncle john) today. he is currently serving his second tour of duty with the ARMY in Iraq. he must have said 3 or 4 times how great it has been to get mail from us. 3 or 4 times on a POSTCARD. that tells me that the mail we are sending means more than we can ever imagine. to get in on the action, here is john's address. this address is a US postal address, so you can use a regular old stamp. even if you don't know john you can write him to just let him know people back home are thinking about him. tell him you support him....that you are proud of him....that his kids are proud of him. write him about the weather....the bengals win.....what you had for dinner last night. greta can't wait to see her uncle john back home safely.
John's APO address:

353rd Transportation Company
ATTN SSG Buckley, John 5605
COB Q West Base Complex Iraq
APO AE 09351

Just as I thought when I told him about John, "crazy" Uncle Charlie in Florida got in on the action. He has been sending John post cards, but not writing on them. I think he missed the point, but wanted to get in on the goal of 4,192 post cards. So, if John wonders who is sending blank post cards, it's my uncle. Or you could leave it a mystery and see if he mentions he is getting blank post cards by the batch. Charlie said he sent him some from Australia so I'm sure he'll get them from all over the place. A Mickey Mouse post card from Disney World may be next on the list.
