Dear Fellow Americans My name is SFC. Oladipo Akinola, a soldier presently deployed to Iraq in support of the war against terrorism. It gives me great pleasure to write you this letter thanking you for the support, love and care you are showing to our troops. Every week during mail call, soldiers gather around expecting care packages from families and loved ones, sometimes they come and sometimes they don't but what never fails are the care packages from concerned Americans like yourselves and your organization. Every week is like Christmas over here, we receive packages upon packages and everybody gets to pick what they want or need from the variety of stuff sent to us, and to show our appreciation, I have encouraged my soliders to pick an address or two and say thank you. Some of them have done this already on their own accord. I will also take this opportunity to say compliments of the season to you and everyone around you, wishing you a merry Christmas and a rewarding and prosperous New Year. Continue to remember us in you daily prayers and may God in his infinite mercy bless you all. Again, thank you for everything, we appreciate your generosity. God Bless America. Yours respectfully, SFC. Olapido Akinola C Co., Task Force 2-6 IN COP Cahill Iraq
