Next Two Letters From Pat
29-June
It has been flooding here lately. I really wish it would stop raining sometime soon. It really bums me out. Took a long lunch break today to pick up the car. Shop says it may need to come back soon, but looks fine now. At least it wasn’t a lot of money! I bet it doesn’t rain in Iraq, huh. What would you like me to send in your package? I bet you’d like a lot of cookies and snacks huh? Maybe mom and I will make you a batch of smores. I hope they’ll stay fresh during the trip over to you. I thought about signing you up for some of those programs on TV that send you care packages. Looks like a good deal its free. What do you think? Enough about me how are you? Do you live on a base in Iraq or off like in California? Do you have to carry your machine gun everywhere? I hear on the news that you guys don’t have enough armor. Keep your head down. Got to finish some stuff here at work now. Really hoping to hear from you soon. We’re all praying for you. Your friend,
Pat

I still need to know what you want in your package. Mom and I would love to send some tasty smores but I don’t know if you like them. But who doesn’t like smores, huh? Had a rough day at the office today. The boss said our internet access is gonna be tighter no more fun sites. I went to him and explained about the motomail site and told him that a very important marine in Iraq was depending on me. He understood so things should still be good. I hope you are getting these. Please write me back and let me know if you are. I am glad my boss understood. He is nice. Is your boss nice? What rank is he? I guess it could be a she though. I just don’t know about sending women to war. What do you think. We all miss you here. Keep in touch. Your friend,
Pat
This is too funny. Like your poor target doesn’t have enough to stress him out!!! God I love a good prank.
I like the idea about the French horn hobby and maybe even attending a French horn festival somewhere like… Lubbock or Tuscaloosa. Perhaps that near miss with the squirrel incites the squirrel to “haunt” Pat periodically - angry chattering outside his window while he sleeps; tossing nuts at him while he “hangs” in his hammock; sneaking in and snarfing the freshly made ’smores off the kitchen counter - whatever drives Pat closer to the edge.
Waving our flag very proudly for all you brave souls this 4th, Jeff. And I’ll think about you while we cheer the fireworks after the Colorado Rockies game.
