Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

Dear Momma Jodi,

Thank you very much for the box that you have sent to me, it was an awesome surprise to me when I received it, in fact I am enjoying some of the tea that was in the box. As you already know I my name is Luis Mendozaruiz I am from Goodyear, AZ and I am a corpsman of marines or as they may know me as “Doc”. I read in your letter that you have two sons both which are in the service and I thank you for taking the time to send me a package when you have already have two sons of your own to take care of. well the weather here is much like yours, its always keeping us on our toes. It gets pretty cold over here now a days in the morning and at night and hot in the afternoon. One day can be bright and sunny and the next well have sand storms and the next maybe some rain. This is my second deployment I did one deployment after the other, its not bad I don’t think, just different. I shared the rules of combat with every one here and they had a laugh they sure did appreciate that. And once again thank you very much.


HM3 Mendozaruiz, Luis
