2/21/2008 We wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for supporting the Marines of "America's Battalion" with the very generous care packages. You have affected many Marines and Sailors stationed at Camp Ramadi, Iraq, and at many of our Combat Outposts in the surrounding areas. The contents of these packages have made life considerably more comfortable for our Marines and Sailors. As "America's Battalion" we have Marines and Sailors from nearly every state - I think it would be fair to say that you have affected in a meaningful way the morale of Marines and Sailors from every corner of our country. We appreciate, beyond words, all of your thoughts, prayers and gifts. Thank you for supporting the young men who are in harm's way trying to make progress for the every day Iraqi citizen who just wants to live in peace and raise his family. We would like you to know that we are proud to serve committed American citizens like you. Semper Fidelis, S.D. Reeves Sergeant Major U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines J.M. Bargeron Lieutenant Colonel U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines
