My husband has been gone for Over a month and has yet to receive one of my letters. We hear so much about How important mail is to those who Are deployed and so we As Good spouses write and write and write Only to find out that our Guys Are not receiving their mail. I understand that a reason Able delay is to be expected but this Long is entirely illogical. It i am one of the Lucky ones who has heard from her husband because we acquired an at amp to card before he left. He sounded so sad because he had not heard from me. When he had another Opportunity to Call a week later he was much More cheerful because he had gotten a 50-word message through the electronic mail service provided by the family assistance centers. This took two weeks for him to receive but at least he received it i know that those handling the mail in saudi Arabia have a big Job and now that a War has broken out that mail May not be a priority. However my husband s morale i can assure Ciu depends greatly on news from his family it seems to me that some sort of priority system should be devised so that letters from the families of those deployed Are Given preference Over letters that Are coming from Well meaning people who really done to know our soldiers personally. Hopefully this will be Over soon. A or. Mikki Garcia a Liesheim Germany sorrows and Joys of being lost and found i knocked at the door. I tapped at the window.

Finally when i thought i make it one More Day a lady with two babies of her own heard my cries. She took me in. Now i am warm not As sick and very loved. The family has shed a lot of tears for me.
