Thanks Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who has emailed me or sent packages since being deployed to TQ.
Friends from CA, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NC, NY, OR, PA, TX, VA, WA, Washington DC, and even Montréal Canada have reached out.
As well a number of military, political, non-profit groups have sent packages too. Groups like the American Sheepdogs, Chester County Young Republicans, Marine Corps League of Chester County, Republican Committee of Chester County to name just a few from back home.
Some of the greatest gifts have been reading the cards made by school kids. Very funny some of the things they write. Some, especially, have no problem telling you their fears or questions. Been interesting and very much welcomed distraction.
While here by myself, I do share a workspace with 3 junior Marines who have shared in your generosity. They (Cupcake, Sgt Slaughter, and the Lance-Coconut) especially appreciate your donations.
Semper Fi,

I will agree how humorous some of those cards were that my students sent. I read them before I sent them, I and had a good chuckle or two out of them. You should share some of the cards and what they said with every one?
I hope the response you have been receiving while you’re away helps you realize just how much you mean to everyone that knows you. You are in a class by yourself! I miss you my friend, and can’t wait till you are stateside again.
Oh class. I thought you said a$$ LOL
I will refrain from commenting on that!
Hey Jonathan
Did you receive packages yet from the RCCC and YRs? I am curious how you and the fellows got them back to your tent…
