Cigar Smoking Soldier in Afghanistan; Want To Support? - Page 2

So last night we were all set; cigars, Gatorade, and a bunch of guys getting together for a mid afternoon smoke when the damn artillery guns go off and then we start "going to work" here on the base. Pictures will come soon, but not from last night guys. GOTTA LOVE WAR!

Stay safe, brother! Here's hoping most of the incoming will be boxes of goodies from the US of A!

hotreds · 06-18-2010, 11:56 AM

Today came a nice letter, magazine, and this certificate from Daryle. Although I am named, it is really for all the wonderful troop supporters that provide me with goodies to send to the guys and gals in harms way. Thank-you, Daryle- more coming your way, brother!

Hotreds, no problem brother thank you for hooking me up with some smokes. We are actually going to hit it up tonight and burn one while watching the Afghan Security Guards do their night firing. Kind of like 4th of July in Afghanistan.

Break---
To all the other supporters who sent smokes, I sent you a Certificate of Appreciation as well from my Commander and self. Thank you for all your support.

Hugh, you are awesome brother! I received another box today with some smokes and some outstanding goodies. I truly appreciate it. You are a true American brother.

Thank you to all of those who have sent smokes this way. You are awesome. At least we can have a little sense of relaxation.

I received one as well from the Great Guardians. It was so humbling and so thoughtful, put me down in my chair for a bit, I am so proud and so honored to be able to send you guys a few things once in awhile. What we do everyday is absolutely nothing in comparison to what you guys do everyday. It is my honor to be able to send you guys some smokes and yum yums!!
I am framing it and it will hang in my office below my flag..ALWAYS!!

Everyone at work was very interested in it, now I will be hitting them up to help fill the boxes!!

Alright scooby, got one that left this morning, so let's see,
thats... clickyclickyclickyclicky...ought to get it about the 20th.
I feel bad now that I know Hugh has got your back. I didn't send
anything LIKE a Hotreds box. But it'll be like dessert, I guess.

Now that I know it's not just YOU, the Acids ought to be really popular.

Keep the baggie for yourself.

SWEET!

Thanks for representing us all, Hugh... another reason to be proud of CA.

HUGH and OLS,
You brothers are AWESOME! THANK YOU! I got your boxes today! Hugh, you always support me and I can not thank you enough for your continued support, always puts a smile on the faces of the cigar smokers in Asadabad, Afghanistan.

OLS, the pipe and pipe tobacco are awesome. I truly appreciate the wonderful sticks as well. I truly love the support from all of you from CA. You folks have truly made me feel like I am at home with the support! THANK YOU!

Marc,
Any candy other than chocolate will last. Twizzlers, Gummi Bears, Starbursts, and any hard candy will last. Another cool thing would be like those small bags of chips you buy at the grocery store. Those pack well too. Thanks for thinking about us!

WTG Guy's good to see ya all taking care of our troops.

taltos,
Just remember, we are ALL still brothers and sisters; regardless of peace time or war time. Thanks for your service brother!

Hey All,
DONT FORGET, if you are mailing a box, please add the new APO AE 09310 to the address. The old APO AE 09354 will not make it to my destination after 1 AUG 10. THANKS!
