E-Mail from SSG Simpson, James E.


Greetings everyone, So I received a box, here in Iraq, that was packed into another box that was filled with a lot of boxes. This box also had a shoebox letter stuck to it. From there I stumbled onto a website and then some names on the website to email a small thank you note to. I am not sure how I got the box or where the box came from other than it ended up in my hands from someone passing by. I wanted to write to someone to say thank you so very much for the box that contained goodies and wipes and shampoo which I don't need as I shave my head but still cool cause I know another Soldier with lots of hair who needed it, heh heh. So I kept the toothpaste, and the purple toothbrush and the wipes and put the rest of the munchies out for the youngins. Now I say youngins but I am only 33 years old I still a young buck in dinosaur years. We receive letters thanking us for what we do and we shrug it off slightly embarrassed to be put in the spotlight. To be thought of as something more than just another Soldier is unsettling, and so to return the favor, I meaning we, an Army of One are thanking you meaning all of you for the over 25000 boxes (cause that's a lot of boxes) that you have sent and we appreciate you all so much! So If you would see fit to kindly pass along this letter to the person that packed the box inside the box that was full of a lot of boxes and thank this person(s) for me (us), I (we) would be grateful. Sincerely, SSG Simpson, James E.
