Greetings from happy soldiers
To whom it may concern:
My name is HMC Dittlinger and am a Sailor
currently serving in Iraq, my troops received a
package from one of your troops. Troop 432, and I
was hoping you could send some pictures there way!
Our mission out here is to always be prepared, as
we stand by for the casualty evacuation mission.
I took a picture of one of the Aircraft we fly
in and my Sailors on the steps of the aircraft. I
thought the girls would like it.
From one Girl Scout to another, Thank you for
your support!
