Our Future

Dear Miss. S’s Classes,

I was so excited to receive your letters! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I hung them all up in my office as well as the hallway so that all of the soldiers can appreciate your wonderful letters. The pictures were great, too!

Everything is going well here. We are stationed at a very small base and we are all packed in like sardines. It’s really funny though, because we act like one big family. There is always someone complaining, or people arguing like brothers do. Come to think of it, it reminds me of the stories that Miss S used to bring home each night regarding all of you! Ha!

I want you to know how incredible it is to see the children in Iraq. They are just like all of you. They go crazy for candy and have a way of always finding trouble. I will try to send some pictures next time we drive thru the villages.

I want to tell you about the dogs. They are everywhere, and their so ugly! No one wants to claim the darn things either. Sometimes they sneak thru our base’s fence and make a mess. It drives us crazy! I miss my ugly dog. I think most of you have seen the pictures of him. He is so ugly that he is cute, if that makes any sense at all. The army has some working dogs. I have fun playing with them because they are so strong. Once they get a hold of their chew toy it takes a long time to pull it from their mouth. The things we do for entertainment around here!

I know many of you play football, how are your teams doing this year? Did anyone see the new James Bond movie? Was it good? What other movies are out that you would recommend. I certainly miss parking my lazy bum on the couch and watching them.

OK, I have to run! Again, thank you for the letters. They really did put a smile on the faces of my soldiers! Mine too! Please do not give Miss S a hard time, because then I will have to hear it on the phone when I call. Tell her that I said you need a non-homework day too.

Keep up the great work; I hear you are all doing great in school! It’s very important that you work hard now, so that you can all be rich and take care of me when I am an old man.

Love
Kyle
