Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO Good Evening Ms. Schmidt, I received your name through Major Adam Calderon who said you might be interested in supporting our unit. Let me start off by saying thank you for your patriotism and support of our troops. I know it means a lot to Soldiers to receive this kind of love from back home. President George Washington said, "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier war were treated and appreciated by the nation." I know our Soldier appreciate your support. My name is Andrew Lee and I am the Battalion Chaplain for the 158th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion of the Arizona Army National Guard out of Tucson, Arizona currently deployed to Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. We have about 80 soldiers that deployed from Arizona and we are the higher headquarters for over 1000 Soldiers here in Afghanistan from ActiveDuty and Reserve units. Our mission surrounds providing logistical support for Southern Afghanistan, which includes running supplies to our front-line fighters via convoy and air drops. Some items that have been highly requested have been: -plastic soap dishes (to carry soap back and forth from the shower) -shaving crème (for both male and female) -magnetic baskets (all our rooms have metal walls, and is a way to maximize space) -movies -deodorant (not highly requested now, but I'm sure will become an item once it starts to heat up) -Fruity Snacks (from Kellogg's) -stress balls Some items we have more than enough of: -hot chocolate mix -board games Some items that I am requesting as a chaplain: -anti-fatigue mats (like the ones cashiers stand on). We have transportation companies with gunners that stand in turrets for hours at a time across bumpy roads. -copies of "Surviving an Affair" by Harley & Chalmers -copies of "On Combat" by LTC Dave Grossman -copies of "Three Cups of Tea" and "Stones into Schools" by Greg Mortenson Please let me know if there are any other questions you have about our unit. Thank you again for all of your support. CH (1LT) Andrew Lee 158th CSSB, BN Chaplain KAF, Afghanistan Pro Deo Et Patria Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO

Honestly, a friend of mine recently made changes to the website, so I don’t know what forum is being used. For the blog I only use Word Press, and like it very much. Very easy to use.
