I would like to start by saying thank you to all of you who support and care for all of us. I am a Marine serving in Iraq right now. With that said, keep in mind that the only thing that keeps us going every day is the support of the American people. We know there are people who don't support us or what we are doing here but just reading a few of these entries and seeing how many of them that there are gives us the motivation to keep on pushing. So please continue the support and keep sending your love. In return we can continue protecting your freedom and pursuing those who aim to destroy it. In closing know this, we will accomplish this mission and all others put in front of us but we need you to hold up the home front and continue the american way of life. Again thank all of you for your support and know we couldnt do it without you. ~~LCPL Mark ------,MWCS-48, USMC, Plainfield, Ill.
