[DITNER, S.M.]

Thanks for the pics. You are a good sort, considering my slanderous comments.

On a more serious note - my respect for your service in Afghanistan.

I work at Mountain Equipment Co-Op, in Toronto. We have donated a bit of swag to you fellas in Kandahar now and again, at my insistence. I have made all the tree-huggers there well aware of the hardships faced by our troops (and they call me rude names for it).

Salute.

Over.
