Our 3rd Thank You from the Troops:

Malynki, Courtney and Larry

 

Hi Malynki

 

Your letter came in one of the boxes for Any Airman. It’s a neat letter and there are great pictures of you on it. I wanted to email you and your parents to say Thank You for taking the time to donate to the Any Airman Program. It is a great program. It is so nice to receive items in the mail, those things remind us of home. I am glad you are doing so well. I can’t believe you had SpongeBob at your last birthday party. He is so funny. I will have to tell my daughter about your party guest.

What does your daddy do in the Air Force? How long has he been in? You give him a big hug and a thank you from me and my family for his Service to our Great Country. My family and I appreciate his service. How do you guys like Wright Patterson and the area? Where is your family from in Ohio?

 

Now since I have read this letter from you, let me tell you about me. I am in the military too, like your dad. I am also in the Air Force. Actually the Air National Guard. I was in the Active Duty  Air Force for 8 years, as an Air Transportation Specialist. I was stationed in Hawaii, Louisiana and the country of Panama. I have been all over the world. I have been in the Ohio Air Guard, since 1994. I have had 3 different careers since being in the Guard. I was in Air Trans, Communications, now Engineering. I have been in for a total of 25 years in September. I am going to retire when I get back from this deployment.

 

I am currently deployed with my Red Horse unit out of Ohio. I am in the country of Afghanistan, at Bagram Air Field. I am about half way through my deployment, only 3 more months to go. I can’t wait to see my family again. My unit is a heavy construction unit, we build roads, runways and buildings. We have poured a lot of concrete since we have been here.

 

Like I said I am from Ohio. My guard unit is stationed out of Mansfield Ohio, it is about 3 hours or more north of Dayton. We are about an hour north of Columbus. I actually live in Galion, Ohio. I am married, I have a stepdaughter that is 19 and goes to college at the University of Toledo. She wants to be a lawyer. I have a daughter that will be 11 in July. I have 2 dogs and a guinea pig. A Golden Retriever named Princess, a St. Bernard mix named Sophie, and the guinea pig is named Calli. Plus my stepdaughter brought a dog home from college named Mongo.

 

Well I am currently at work and I need to go to our end of the day meeting. I am keeping your letter so I can send more emails if you would like. I wish you and your family the best. Again thank you for cool letter, and thank you to your daddy for his service.

 

MSgt Snyder, Ronald B.

 

Delayyyyy

I still haven't forgotten all of you. With Larry finally leaving last week we are trying to get into some type of routine with Malynki because as you know he is very OCD about routine. I have finals this week and next and then my #1 priority is thanking everyone for his wonderful gifts.
