Message from Captain Page
Patty sends this message she received from Captian Page, whose unit is a recipient of AnySoldier packages from Coquina Crossing.
Hi Patti,
Hey how are things going in your neck of the woods, I hope the fires are not effecting beautiful St. Augustine.
Just wanted to let you know we received a few more of your boxes last night and we're expecting more mail tonight. Please pass on to your supporters that the men of Legion certainly appreciate your support.
On the 12th we dedicated our base to SPC Jacob Lowell a Legion Soldier who was killed 02 JUN 07. We had a small ceremony renaming the base after him.
Well, gotta run. Just wanted to say hey.
V/R
CPT Page, John

Phoenix on Mars
On Sunday evening NASA's Phoenix spacecraft landed on Mars. This video is an animation of what they think the entry and landing probably looked like. Another NASA spacecraft, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, was oriented to photograph the entry of Phoenix into the Martian atmosphere. Below is a photo of Phoenix with it's parachute open. (The parachute is about 30 feet in diameter.) link
