Appreciation from AnySoldier recipients

One of our community projects is AnySoldier.com where Coquina residents donate personal materials to soldiers on the war front. It is lead by resident Patty Worsham. She regularly has a packing party in the clubhouse to pack and then mail boxes. Patty received this note of appreciation from a company commander:

Dear Residents and Veterans of Coquina Crossing
 
Thank you very much for your support of Legion Company B/1-503rd IN.  We are an airborne unit based in Vicenza, Italy.
 
We are located currently near the villages of Kamu and Gowhardesh in Nuristan, Afghanistan.  Which is the mountain area of North Eastern portion of the country.  We are in a very isolated area so we do not have the pleasure of a PX of any kind so your gifts are extremely useful and necessary.  If not for the support of kind people like you life here over our 15 month deployment would be almost unbearable.
 
I personally thank you for your support to my boys for they are doing the absolute work of the Lord here in Afghanistan we are faced with many hardships but we are making a difference and the support of the local people continues to grow with each passing month as together we fight against those who wish to bring harm to the Afghan people.
 
I have attached a photo of Legion Company back in Italy before we deployed as well as a photo of Camp Kamu where ? of my company is located.  I also have 1 platoon at Camp Lybert which is a base that sits on top of a mountain that is the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
 
Respectfully,

The Un-Naturalist

Interesting photos are everywhere, waiting to be discovered. Occasionally I am successful finding them. The Un-Naturalist is a series of photos of unnatural objects found in a natural setting - in other words, litter, trash and all manner of debris. It is easy to ignore litter. But when litter becomes a source of creativity, you search for it. Once found, and the photo has been made, litter is given a proper disposal. Thus with every picture, the landscape gets a bit cleaner. Everyone is invited to participate and submit their photographs.
