Please let all who donated and contributed how grateful we are for their support and efforts. It's because of folks like them and yourself that we continue to crawl outside the wire each night and "even the score". Thank you and God Bless.

sgt. xxxx here.

I didnt know the AmericanSnipers.org program had that much support until i received your last email. God bless all you back home who contribute to us snipers over here. Well we are still doing our best to get these [bad guys], they are definitely getting allot smarter though as far as tactics. [They] are hiding in crowds of people after throwing grenades at us. Its hard as hell to avoid an ambush because they always seem to know we are coming and the people don't give us any accurate intel as to what and where the insurgents are. Anyway we were on a night patrol and one of the [Bad Guys] was hiding in an alley and tossed a homemade grenade in the middle of the element. one of my shooters got hit in the hand (non shooting hand). He is fine, its a million dollar wound, he was back doing missions the next day. We think he ran into a nearby crowd of people and then disappeared, but of course the crowd did not see anything. The heat has really risen in the past weeks. 117 degrees yesterday! always stay hydrated.

thanks for the email and support. later.

I just want to say thanks soooo much! Even if you didnt send us anything just the fact that you are recognizing us and what we do here is really big! Allot of the time us snipers don't get the credit we are due for the fact that our nature is to draw the least amount of attention to us. That's fine but it is awesome when someone who knows the deal says thanks and appreciates what we do and know what it takes to do it. I was wondering if you are interested in some pics of us and our teams. If you are ill send you a few. We have some cool ones. Thanks again Brian for everything you've done and what you're doing for us all.
Every bit helps, even words of encouragement.

Brian,

Just hit the ground here last night. The plan right now will keep us here for a few weeks and then back out to do some good things. The past two months have been a roller coaster; we'll just have to leave it at that for now. The packages you have waiting to be shipped will be well used. Thank you for pursuing the products we need, it's a huge moral boost for everyone to hear that guys back home are hooking us up. I've received several packages from Hugo, perfect timing.

Food, a ton of cleaning stuff - it all came on a particularly low day. We had been eating poorly, so the power bars were a huge hit, and stateside Copenhagen is worth its weight in gold. I've got a ton of catching up to do. I had over five hundred Emails in this inbox alone; I haven't checked my personal accounts yet ... We've had a few deaths in the community, so I hope there isn't any unexpected bad news.

Thanks again for all you are doing. I can't explain just how much it means. When we got all the boxes from Hugo, guys were in disbelief that someone who had never met us would send out that much stuff. We had a combined group of about forty that day, and no one left wanting for anything.

All the best,

xxxx

BK,

Hey Brother The packages just showed up. Amazingly all together. Thank You.

Its so funny that alot of the stuff you sent only another sniper could appreciate.
The cleaning supplies were awsome. We have been back logged on supplies so we were running short.
The xxxx are awsome. Ive already boxed up the old xxxx's.

Hey I want to thank you and your family and everyone that has taken time or has donated anything. Yours and everyones support is very much appreciated. It really means alot to the guys and me that there are still people who support the military. Well just a little about me. I have been in for xxxx years, have been a sniper for xxxx years. I am married to a wonderful woman who supports me in everething that I do. I have been in this unit now for xxxx years.

Hopefully when I get back I can talk these guys into letting me go to xxxx to be a sniper instructor. Right now we are short on a lot of gear. We are still doing our job and doing it well !! I was wondering, do you know of any companies that sell xxxx, that are reasonably priced ? Well, as I said before even if you guys are unable to send any gear the support and thoughts are worth more. Thank you again.

Hey guys what is up. Not much here just wanted to send you an email to say thanks for all the support that you are giving us. As brothers in arms and snipers you know that we do not get noticed as much or talked about very often. I also wanted to let you know that I am moving but my address will stay the same because I will return to this area. My wife went to your website and thinks it is a wonderful thing that you are doing she knows what it is like being the wife of a sniper.

She has been sending comfort items to me and the guys but not alot. My kids send cards to the guys and that is something that helps also. Tim you ask if the was anything specfic we wanted well I use copenhagen snuff. Well I am going to go for now thanks again for the support.
