To All who have contributed to sending us pens:
I'm Captain Ben Winborn, Commander of B Company, 2-211th General Support
Aviation Battalion, currently serving in Iraq. This week our unit received
a package of pens from you all (and probably many others I did not get email
addresses from).
I would like to give you our sincere thanks from the members of our unit.
Getting mail at all is a thrill, and to receive such a generous gift (and
very useful), is really appreciated. They are all so unique and beautiful.
It is obvious that considerable care and attention to detail went in to each
pen.
I picked out several email addresses from the pens that were left (I was not
the first one to discover the package). I'm sure there are many others who
have contributed to this project and I thank them all.
We're all doing well over here. Weather is starting to get warm; breaking
to 100F mark consistently. Dust has kept us from flying as much as we
usually do lately, but expected to change and have a very productive summer
supporting the other units with several flights every day.
It's much easier to do our job over here knowing we have your support back
at home. Thanks for recognizing our sacrifices. All the men and women here
are doing a great job; you should be proud them...I know I am. We are here
to help the Iraqi government stabilize and operate on their own. We get
closer to that goal every day.
Keep up the great work supporting those deployed; putting a smile on their
face and a pen in their pocket. These will be a treasured reminder of the
time spent serving our country and the overwhelming support from everyone
back in the great United States.
Please forward this email to those I have missed.
Sincerely,
CPT Benjamin R. Winborn
