Subject: RE: Navy Legalman and Military Paralegal Outreach Program - February Care Package Mailing
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:25:33 +0300
From: vanessa.pichon
To: miabes@hotmail.com
Ms. Besser,
I received the Care Package yesterday!! I can't thank you all enough!!! It was a wonderful surprise! There was so much stuff I could barely carry the box to my trailer!! I'm so grateful to everyone that gave the items for me! How did you know I love Thin Mints! Plus the Bath and Body works aromatherapy really helped last night! That is until the alarm (not my alarm clock!) started to go off at 4 am and I had to roll under the bed! Bad news aside, it's so great to have people back home willing to help and keep us comfortable for our time over here. I put a card in the mail so be on the look out!
I've attached a picture of the paralegals and attorneys I traveled here with. I'm the first from the left. We got to Iraq the day after it rained so you'll have to excuse the muddy boots!
Have a great day!
SSgt Pichon |
