No more packages to the 211MP BN

Today I was told that the 211 Military Police Battalion will be moving out in a few more weeks, and will not be able to use packages in May.  Please do not send any additional packages. They can still receive packages that have already been sent. 

Chaplain Pickens sends his thanks for all you have done to support the troops there.  Captain V. Mack also has sent her regards for all that you have done for them.

Hopefully I'll receive their replacements' names in June.

Note from Afghanistan - it's very cold there now!

Here's a note home from one of "our" soldiers currently serving in Afghanistan. It is freezing there now. I think the heating pad idea is a great one! Hopefully we will be able to share more updates.
If you have received a Thank-You from your soldier, or anything you think others may appreciate reading, send it to me: nancy@auntnancyusa.com
I don't generally post full names unless the troop gives the "OK".

Hi honey,
I miss you and really hope you are getting better. There is not a whole lot I can do except pray and make it though this deployment. I am tired, tired of cold showers and stepping out into cold wheather after getting wet from ice cold water. Sometimes, I luck out and get one minute of warm water in my shower, but it does not last long enough to rise.

Yes, the heating pad works, and I don't want to get out of bed because it is cold. I wish I could wear it in the shower. It is so cold I have to sleep with my shampoo to keep it from getting frozen in the bottle. It is so cold I have to put my water in the fridge to keep it from freezing overnight.

Honey, when I come home I have some stories to tell you. This deployment has been an awesome adventure and I cant wait to tell you. I love you alot. Tell C. I say "Whats up dude". Tell your momma, to put some beans in the kettle I will be home soon. At least for a little while.
LOVE
Jeff YOUR HUSBAND
