A Note From Afghanistan

I got this e-mail from my brother a couple of days ago...

Hello Everyone

Everything is going well at this end. Nothing to exciting, just doing missions and on my days off watching movies and T.V. serious. Just got done watching all 7 seasons of The Sopranos, it was a good show; the ending was a little upsetting. All of a sudden the screen goes black for like 30 seconds and the credits start to roll. I think there going to make a movie now.

Well I spent celebrating another birthday over in the Middle East, it was ok. I was on a 5 day mission to the eastern part of the province; so the day went fast. Also I found out that someone else in my platoon also has an April 1st birthday, I would have never expected something like that in a small group of people. The day after my birthday was the fun day, I got to do a flying mission. Five of us took a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter to the northeastern part of the Providences. I got to fly in one when I was in Iraq, but I forgot how fun it was to do something like that.
You would not believe what it is doing outside right now, IT’S RAINING. It started to rain last night about 6:30 and has been raining off and on ever since. We where told it the beginning of the monsoon season. It should be like this for the next month or 2. You know what they say April showers bring May flowers. We just won’t be getting the flowers or having to mow lawn after all the rain has stopped falling. That about it for right now. Hope everyone is doing well and everyone is healthy and safe.
