Thank You for the Boxes

Rising Star Coffee Introduced to Afghanistan

Dear Family and Friends,

This is just a big THANK YOU from all of us here at Kandahar Air Field (KAF) for the wonderful gifts.  My wonderful (and very good looking) wife Nancy has sent two boxes of goodies to include things like candies,snacks to die for, an electronic toothbrush and George Bush's autobiography.  My sister Holly sent a box of Roots Grocery Store snacks that are always unique (who ever heard of meatless Texas BBQ?).  Today, two boxes came in from a work friend living in Spencer Ohio, Valerie Toth.  She and her husband have a coffee business (RISING STAR) and it's the best coffee in country.  All my tent mates plus Defense Logistics Agency reps agree and there should be a big order on the way for 5000 pounds of coffee... stand by!

I just rode back from the work site, connected to the internet and the sound of rain is pitter pattering on the tent.  If this keeps up, everything will change.  Just imagine foot deep cookie dough mud that doesn't shake off.  Well, it will be worth another photo tomorrow.

Love to all,

Christopher
