I received a package from you all that was needed and appreciated very much.

I would like to thank William Ulwick (Nikon) for choosing us and for getting the support from within your comunity. Congrats on your new baby. In the letter your wife was in her 9th month.

Nikon I felt absolutly proud to have read the thoughts that were running through your head, and for you to and share them with me. Your a good Man, and a Patriot!!

Its good to hear some good humor that isnt all PC, I am talking of Chris Sterling, Thats a funny son of a bitch! I hope you get better Brother.

Again thank you, you guys definitley live in Gods country up in New England no doubt about it.

Outstanding job , Marine!


Thanks for helping to make our country the greatest in the world.

My bro just returned home.

You must ride with us if you get the chance. We go to Deal's Gap regularly.

See you when you come home.

What more can we say but THANK YOU! Thank you all!

You Men and Women are the best! Rest assured that all of you are in my prayers every day and that we all wish for a safe return home for all of you.

Oh, and the next time you may happen to splatter some al qeida goat fukkers brains all over a wall. Be sure to tell him that most of here at NESR send our regards!

Hope to ride with you soon!

God Bless!

Mike, it's great to hear from a Marine. I don't think America as a whole can thank you enough for what you guys do and what you put on the line day in and day out.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The feeling is mutual! We are in debt indefinitely to you and all the men and women in our armed forces for allowing us to live free in this great country of ours.

Nikon, thanks again for setting this up. :kickass:

Yikes. Please accept my apologies.

Thanks for the pics, and more importantly, for your service.

Hey NESR folks - when are we sending another package to our new site member & his fellow Marines?

[U.S. Marine]

We hope to get some nice fall temps, maybe in the 90's



Riding a bike in this weather is like driving in an oven.



Thanks for posting and the great support.

Mike

I think this is an appropriate thread to return to the forum on. I've been gone all summer.....Ft. Sill, OK. I just finished basic training. Ssgt Murrell, thanks for doing what you're doing. I'm in an aviation unit as well....going in as a blackhawk mechanic/crew chief, then ROTC through college and flight school. My unit is leaving for Iraq this month, in fact 50 are going next week. I can't go because i'm split-op...i have to finish high school and AIT first. I'm lucky, but it kinda sucks seeing friends go when you can't. Thanks again for what you do and come home soon.

P.S.- Whats up guys?

[U.S. Marine]

I went through Ft. Sill in March of 87. It sounds like a long time ago but I can still feel the coldness of those fields when I was in artillary training school.
