Gina,

I received the care package you sent yesterday. I got a little selfish with some of the stuff.
I put the rest out for our Airmen to use. Thanks for the newspapers.
Yes, I knew about OBL, but it was nice to see some local news.

I am scheduled to come home about 2 months from now. I just had email contact yesterday with my replacement.
That always signals the end, when you can begin to talk to the guy who will sit in your seat.

I was actually watching FOX news over here, back in April and they were talking about the flooding in Northern Kentucky and showed a raging torrent running through Pioneer Park which is only about 3 miles from house.
My parents live in western Tennessee and their county sits on the Mississippi River.
I talked to them on Mother’s Day and they said 54% of their county was underwater.

That pillow will come in very handy, for when they move me out of my trailer and into the tents before I
come home and for the trip home.

Thanks again for everything and have a great week.

William
