Patti-
Once again I find myself in harms way leading the finest troops in the Corps. What started out as a humanitarian mission to a cyclone ravaged group of islands has turned into a dick measuring contest between the US and a regional power. I'm sure you will see the incident or reports of it in the news but know that I am safe and the pilot from the shot down Helo is safe also. I'm not at liberty to discuss the incident more than that.
What I can tell you is that the troops are ready, we will be going into full ass kicking mode and Woe be unto those that would wish us harm for they shall fell the wrath of our righteousness. We will be bringing the fight to the enemy and they will fall before us like wheat to the scythe.
Don't worry for me, I where I need to be.
Love to all,
Dave
