The Marines from this company recently returned from the Sangin Valley and they are worn out. They saw kinetic activity almost on a daily basis. The Company suffered some casualties, they lost a Marine and a Corpsman in the skirmishes. I believe if they were to receive 2

7 anything from home, it would be a great morale boost! I can't tell you specifically how many Marines we have, alii can state is that I have approximately around 200. They could use anything from the states such as, toiletries, SNACKS, magazines, etc.. They would love an XBOX 360 but I feel the money could be better spent somewhere else. Like I mentioned before, at this point, anything from home would be greatly appreciated.
