Jan. 9, 2008 Dear Mr. Hirsch, Thank you for your generous donations! We received the packages all in good order, and everyone was able to utilize many of the goodies. It was like having a second Christmas here! I am the assistant SI at 18th Military Police Brigade. This means my section and myself process thousands of awards, evaluations and track personnel. Our Brigade mission is to train Iraqi police. It all keeps us pretty busy. It is always great to hear from friends and family back home and we appreciate all the support. Thank you again from everyone here at 18th MP BDE Sincerely, Lt. Felipe Buzaid (This letter was co-signed by six other soldiers and officers, all members of the 18th MP BDE - SSg. Lay, Pfc. Niesha Calvin, Maj. Dave McConnell, Sgt. Suggs, SSg. Phengphanh and SPC Henderson).
