I received a check from Rene and Joe and quickly used it for a vacuum for one of our Marines to help rid their office area of what he called "moon dust".... A very fine dust that when dusted or swept floats in the air then lightly lands back on their equipment and clothes. I wrote to our 2Lt to make sure he still needed the vac and rec'd his reply this morning and as promised, am sharing it with you. I also received a phone call from Rex Young who is on a "tobacco hunt".... He is trying to get someone to donate or greatly reduce the price of tobacco products to mail to our MARINES. Rex has purchased a bunch of tobacco for the Friday boxes .... Word of Life Church called and loaded the back of my car with donations for the boxes. Their Children's Sunday School Classes had collected and packaged small stuffed animals, coloring books, crayons and pencils and candy, for the children who look forward to seeing our MARINES come into their cities, towns and villages. "OORAH! " You guys are great, all of you from Word of Life, Rex, Rene & Joe, y'all are AWESOME! THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! for all you do and give. This project of the heart couldn't get very far without your support and the support of all of our other HERO SUPPORTERS!

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND REMEMBER OUR MARINES ARE STILL OUT THERE SO WE CAN DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT FEAR OF DUCKING AND DODGING BOMBS AND BULLETS!
Semper Fi, Jodi

The mail carrier just came by and THANK YOU DOLORES! You are an answer to my prayers! OORAH! (which today is Momma Marine for "Hallelujah!" )


Momma Jodi,
I have not found a vacuum. I've been kept really busy and haven't had
much time to search. I would greatly appreciate anything you can find.
I'm already most grateful for all you've done. I'm very impressed by how
much time and effort you put into making us Marines more comfortable.
You're such a blessing to us all.
Please feel free to use my pictures anywhere you like. I'll send more if
I take some, but it's one of those things that are tightly controlled
because of the security issues.

Thanks again for all that you do. I don't know the words to adequately
express my appreciation. Please let me know if there's anything that I
can do on my end.

Your New Family Member,
Lenny
