Dear Operation Support Our troops
(Sammamish WA),
I'd like to take the time to thank you and
everyone else associated with Operation Support Our Troops. We
received your package a couple of days ago and it was a very
nice and generous gesture.
I'd like to tell you how you received my
name. My mother was friends with a lady by the name of Toni
Wilmoth back in the 70's. My mother was talking with Toni
recently and mom mentioned that I was deployed again to Iraq.
Toni said her son Ladd was involved with your group and would
like to send something over.
A little about us:
I'm the Officer in Charge of a group known
as the Joint Prosecution and Exploitation Center working in the
Multi-National Forces West area of Iraq (a city called Ramadi).
We are comprised of 33 personnel which includes Marines,
Sailors, Airman, Criminal Investigators and various civilians
(Forensic Lab technicians) that conduct criminal investigations
and prepare prosecution packages on Iraqis that have attacked
U.S. Forces as well as Iraqi Security Force personnel.
Incidentally our camp here in Ramadi is currently run by an
element of the 81st Heavy Brigade Combat Team (Reserve) based
out of Seattle. They have proven themselves to be a highly
capable and professional organization and proud tribute to the
state of Washington.
Again I'd like to thank you on behalf of my
team for your generous gift and the support you provide!
Semper Fidelis,
Maj Robert O'Day USMC |
