Soldier Response 12/12/2007

PFC Douglas James Wilson writes:

your prayers are greatly appreciated. however the real hero is my wife who is enduring this war alone at home, far from family. suffering through great challenges and over coming them. thank you for our support. i see you are from my home state, that makes this even more heartfelt. maybe we can maintain correspondence. this is my second deployment so i know that i am protected. talk to you later Doug

I thank you for forwarding the wonderful and caring messages of hope, love and well wishes. As an Iraqi War Veteran from 2003-2005, it fills my heart with so many indescribable feelings of enlightenment. I told my Father when I came home in Jan 2005 that I am receiving the honor and support that he too, should have received from his two tours in Vietnam. I am sharing these emails with my fellow brother and sisters in arms. It means so much to receive the thoughts of encouragement from everyone.

Thank You, Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Cordially,

SSG Matthew Claycomb
