Friends:

 

I almost never forward letters, but this one seems so "right", especially at this time of year.  The messages below can be enhanced if you'd do the same thing.

 

More than 650 people get this letter, so imagine how many messages could be sent to our patriots in Afghanistan if each of you sent it on as I have, and then each one sent it out to 10 or 20 other people who did the same, etc.  WOW!

 

Have a good Christmas season.  We'll write our regular December letter in a couple of weeks.

 

Bob and Jo Ann
