camwynShe's 29 - a year younger than me. She's a single mother of two girls. She's from California.
She's a supply sergeant in the US Army. She's served in the Army for ten years. Right now she's in Camp Cooke, Iraq, where she's in charge of the cooks, the food, the water, and other related supplies. She's been there since January; her unit is supposed to go home come next January, operative word being 'supposed'. Some time ago, when I was first cleaning my room, I consulted Books for Soldiers and found her name and request. I sent her about two and a half years' worth of back issues of Cooks Illustrated magazine- all recipes and product tests, no ads.
Today, I got a thank-you card from her... and a two-page letter.
Damn. I mean, damn.
