A Special Note From Bryan:

Ever wondered what you can do to help with the war in Iraq? Well we have an answer. Please read the Email from Ed Sullivan, Father of my cousin Lt Will Sullivan currently serving our country in Iraq.

Today, I got a phone call from Will. He called around 10am, which is about 6pm his time
He was using his new Baghdad cell phone. I tried to conference Clare in, but it did not work, maybe next time.
Here is what we talked about:
Care packages, He says thanks, he loves getting them. He gets them every day now. He just wishes his men would get some. I told him to wait a week or so., because thanks to his last email, they are coming also. I got the feeling that he is getting ribbed from his men about so much mail. But he said he is sharing everything.

He like the pictures that he gets. He does not have much access to the INTERNET except at TAJI and he is only at Taji about once a week, but when he is there he is busy re supplying his platoon.

He said he is getting mail from several grade school classes. Mrs. Baxter;s class from OLA (his grade school teacher). Mrs. Schefstad class (West Point mom), Sally Barnet Pickren's class (Kären's HS friend)

He loves the mail. If you can please send pictures also… Aunt Candy he enjoyed your pictures of your trip to Kings Point and back

As I mentioned earlier,he does not get access to e-mail that often. Go ahead and send him SNAIL mail with pictures. Today, I printed off my emails to him form the past month, and will mail them tomorrow.

He does not know what to do with the dolls he gets, Or who is sending them. I told him to give them to the local kids. He says he does, but once you see one kid and give them a gift. All of a sudden you have 100 kids around you. This is his first trip to a 3rd world country ( Iraq is now 3rd world) so he does not realize that is a normal response.

I asked him what else he needed, what was his living quarters like and what his routine was.

1. Routine
Will explained his 12 day routine like this. We spend 6 days on walk around patrols or missions. Walk around patrols may happen 4- 5 times a day. Just to keep our self known. Missions are handed down, we go out looking for the bad guys in the area.

After 6 days of this we get one day off to rest, Clean up and re supply. At the end of 2 of these 6 day weeks we take 2 days off and go to TAJI for additional supplies, to restock and relax. But he said it was actually boring in TAJI.

2. Living Quarters.
This was a little harder for me to understand. But here is what I think he said
He and his men live next to a big warehouse compound.  The warehouse compound is big computer complex.  His house has 4-5 rooms with about 40 army cots all over.   They just got heat 2 days ago.  So they are happy.   He says it is his home and his men like it much better than TAJI.   I asked him about food, and he said they send it in everyday. So they are eating ok. On the 2 day break, they sleep in trailers and have all the food and showers they want. I did not ask about showers or laundry at the house

3. What else is needed.
He wants his men to get mail. I told him that is coming. Just wait. He would like used books. I have been sending him some of my old books that were best sellers.  He said he prefers NON-Fiction. I told him I knew that. But those fiction books are just easy reading and gets your mind away from things.  The one he is currently reading is good he says. So if possible please send him and his men your used books. Fiction and NON Fiction. Will likes Historical type books. And as Clare has mentioned send  "Magazines"

He has been enjoying reading and watching DVD's. Aunt Connie, he says he is hooked on "24"

I asked about coffee , since he mentioned that in TEXAS. He says they get all of the Maxwell house they can drink. But he would like a little change of taste. They live off the coffee. So if you have a supply of HOTEL coffee or packs a Starbucks/Dunkin donut coffee sitting around please send some to him. NO coffee BEANS, just regular ground up coffee.

Special Request
Will says he would like some SOCCER balls for the kids. He would like to get them all at once so he and his men have enough to give away. SO Let's do a SOCCER ball mailing.

Here is what I suggest: Maybe Soccer balls will go on sale after Christmas. He suggested that we send them DEFLATED (FLAT).

So if you want to, do your shopping and get them in the Mail on January 5th IF we all mail on that date he should get them around the same time. If you have one of his soldiers that you are mailing stuff to. Then send the soccer ball to that soldier.

We are going to collect as many Soccer Balls as possible over the next 2 weeks and send them over to Will to distribute.

Please try to help out, drop them off at our location or mail them to me and I will package them and send them to Iraq.

Thanks, our goal is 250 soccer balls, lets try to make it happen!
