Dear Soldiers of the 215 th QMCO:

On behalf of the Princeton High School A Cappella Choir, I would like to thank you for your service in the U.S. Military. To demonstrate our appreciation for our military, we will be giving a concert, A Salute to the U.S. Military on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2005. In addition to celebrating the dedication of our service personnel with music, we will also be presenting one WWII veteran and 2 Korean War veterans with their high school diplomas.

I would like to invite you to this concert. It is at Princeton High School in Sharonville and will begin at 7:30 p.m. We are also inviting the veterans and those currently serving to wear their uniforms if they would like.

I only wish that you were here to attend, but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and that we wish you a safe and speedy return home.

Sincerely,

SPC Rob’s sister
PHS A Cappella Choir Member

SPC Joshua C,

We think of you often and pray for your safe return to your family. We hope that it works out for you to be home for the holidays. We are happy that we could bring some Midwestern cheer through Operation Minnesota Nice. God bless you in all that you are doing.

Love,

SFC Ifikhar H.,
We recently received your name from the good folks at Operation Minnesota Nice as part of our effort here on the homefront to support the fine job that you are doing over there. We will be sending a package early next week and if there is anything you would especially like please let us know. Praying for the safety of you and your company.

John, Nadira, & Brandon

Christopher and David B.

Hello to the both of you.

We hope all is doing well and keeping cool as best you can. The weather is hot here (high 90s). August is here and soon school will be starting again. This means the time is going by and you too will be coming home. We pray all goes well for all of you and you all come home safe and soon.

We are very proud of you all and what you have done for us. You are in our prayers and may God be with you all the time and bring all of you home safe and soon.

“Much love Angels” are being sent with this greeting,
Lin and Betty

To The 215th,
Country singer, Darryl Worley, was at the Knox County Fair in Mt. Vernon, Ohio this past Friday, July 29th. My sister and I had the privilage of meeting him. In case some of you are not familiar with who he is, he's the one that sings, “Have You Forgotten”. He's a real red necked country boy who FULLY supports the troops. He told everyone in the audience that supporting the troops is by no means a political issue. That you all need to be supported and prayed for no matter whether they agree with this war or not. Everyone gave a standing ovation! He thanks all of you for keeping us free and allowing us to keep living the lives that we do. He talked about the word “God” and how people are wanting to have it taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance. He was very firm when he said, “If you agree with that, you are more than welcome to get up and leave because I don't need fans that bad.” Again, a standing ovation!

I wanted to let you all know that Darryl Worley himself said, “Thanks For All You Do” and “God Speed!” I just wanted to share that with all of you.

Stay Safe and hurry home!
Linda
(SGT Shawn B's wife)

HELLO DAVID AND CHRISTOPHER B.,

TO ALL THE 215THQUARTERMASTER COMPANY TOO:
HERE'S A TIP: EUCALYPTUS PLANTS AND OIL, IN YOUR SHAMPOO WILL REPEL FLEAS, AND THE MOUTHWASH HAS THIS INGREDIENT IN IT TOO. MAYBE YOU CAN POUR SOME ON YOUR BANDANAS, LET THEM DRY, THEN WEAR THEM! DOG SHAMPOO HELPS TOO! (YEAH, I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT IT WORKS!)

LOVE,
JANE
