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.
