Well, as you can see, the first snow has arrived in the mountains in the not so far distance to us over here. Yes it is getting colder here as well. But never fear, as the Army has equipped us with some great new cold weather gear. It is a 7 layer system that will stand up to some pretty brutal weather and elements. It has everything from silk weight undergarments to water proof gortex outer shells and parkas. I personally like the 
fleece jacket the best, and wear it all the time when it gets chilly. We have been slowly starting to decorate around here for the holidays. The hardest part about it is not being home with our families and loved ones. But I try to keep my soldiers and myself busy and we always talk about what we would be doing if we were home or what we will do on leave. It is great to have all the support that we have been getting from the home front. It makes a huge world of difference to have the car packages coming in the mail. We have started to put up some Christmas decorations around here. Yesterday, I was able to give out some tarps to a local school that does not have a roof. It takes a long time for reconstruction projects to get going, so we help out as best as we can before they start. We will be doing a big H-aid drop soon at school that has a couple thousand kids. I will have lots of photos of that when it happens. Well, thank you all for the continued support and love. I do pass the thanks of all my soldiers on to you all. Well, I must return to the numerous reports i am always writing, so more to come in the near future. SSG Miller

7 layer system sounds more like a burrito from Taco Bell than a cold weather package. Glad to know that Uncle Sam is providing quality gear for you.
Have a Merry Christmas, and pass on our warmest Christmas blessings to your soldiers as well. Thank them for us from here in Pasco!
Glad Unk Sam is taking care of you and your Troopers.
That gear sounds good, could use that while snow shoeing. How about socks and shoes, those good too?
Goodies on the way, hope you figure out the one bag, if not drop me an email.
Thanks for all you all are doing from us here on the island of Vashon.
Our love,
Dad and Barb
