H-U-G-E shout out to our Adopted Soldier James

Happy Monday Everyone -

I just got this email from James, I have been very lucky over the last few days to really get to talk with him, since he is not out on a mission.

I hope, when you are read this you get cold chills & your heart just melts as mine did. It's so great what he is doing for all of us, but what is even better is that he is so EXCITED about what he is doing and what he is accomplishing.

To have never met him and just adore this man for what he does has been such a blessing!

If you have free time, I encourage you to email him and let him know how much we appreciate him and everyone else and also to say CONGRATS to what he just now has accomplished.

Thank you so much & thank you for SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS!!!

Hey whats going on?

Im doing great and things all seem to be falling into place these last couple of weeks. I just celebrated my 25th birthday on June 20th, got a battlefield promotion, coins of appreciation from my leaders, and a lot of praise for always setting the standard above me peers.

My battlefield promotion is history in our brigade. It was the first one in the brigades history and is being put in the history books. Its such an awesome and big event. I also was told that I will be getting promoted again in August because of my hard work and dedication to my job. I wasnt supposed to get promoted until Dec so Im way ahead of schedule.

It feels great to be achieving so much.

How is everything going for you back in the states? I hope all is well and Im doing the best I can be over here. Thank you and all your friends that are supporting me.

Love ya all!
James
