Yep.. we have a very close family friend who is The Marines and is currently in Iraq.

I'm writing him a letter, along with sending him another box of "goodies" that he likes (tuna, gummy bears, sunflower seeds, kool-aid mix, and some others).

We exchange emails as often as time permits him to do so.

I'm really worried about him, but I know he's going to be fine.. I can't wait until he'll be able to come home.
