Brings back memories

[kuatto]

Was going through some papers and found a letter that was written by an eleven year old school girl while my unit was in Afghanistan in 1992.Here is just a small paragrgh,written exactley the way she did;
"Dear Canadian Soldier
He my name is Britteny...I have one cat and one dog and when I finis the faires I will get a spiting lamba to keep the wolfs away.I am ever happy that I am get 4 sheep....."

The letter goes on telling about her sisters names and all of her friends,even when her birthday is Those letters from all the school kids were the best thing,kind of a little peice of sunshine in a barren waiste land.I can't remember how many letters we replied back to(somewhere near 400 or 500)I don't know why I kept the letter,but its something that I'll keep forever

Jim,

What a heartwarming story I'm glad you took the time to share it. I didn't know you had been in Afghanistan. It must have been a hellish place at the time for you and the rest of your unit

I'm glad there were people with you that knew the way home and brought you back with them (inside joke )

Again, thanks for sharing that heartwarming story
