Soldier thanks Lutz Patriots for kindness to military
“To all at Lutz Patriots,
Received your letters from the children and the care package today and I wanted you to know how grateful I am for the thoughtfulness you have shown to me and all in the military. You truly are special people and yes, you have brightened my day.
“The package was received today, September 4th …again, thank you. I only wish I had time to write a personal letter back to you and all the children, hope email is OK. I am currently on a PSD (protective security detail) team that protects Major General Joseph Reynes, Air Force, director of FSEC (Force Strategic Engagement Cell). We work 15 hour days, 7 days a week in the IZ green zone area for now, so not much time.
“I am married with three children, Brittany (18), TJ (15) and Haley (8). All have birthdays coming up in November and December and I will miss them all, but we stay in touch through email and web cam. It works out really great when we can see each other.
“I live in Corbin, Kentucky and am a part of the Kentucky National Guard, and will return hopefully in May…Yea!! Might get to see the Kentucky Derby…and please send a cool ocean breeze my way from Florida.
“Anyway, it has been a very hot month here in Baghdad, Iraq, like 122 degrees average, so hopefully it will start to cool down a bit.
“Again, thank you and share this e-mail with all the little ones if possible.
God bless you,
SPC Tim Miniard”
