LCpl Merc

LCpl J. Merc 3/1 Marines, 15th MEU (SOC)FPO San Diego, CA 92102 Dear mom and dad Well its my second deployment and this one is gonna be way longer compared to the last one. I can't tell you where im going next but you guys would figure it out whether I told you or not, the news is good for that kinda stuff. I know you guys were always against my enlistment when I joined the cadets and I wont forget your angry and sad faces when I told you I would be thrown into a warzone straight out of school but Dont worry everyone here has each others backs so I will defenitely come back home the same as before, if I can survive one deployment I can survive another. How is faith and malcom doing right now? I know having a dad being gone for months and havong a mother in the hospital under constant care is not the greatest for their mental state. I left a present for them before I left the house so make sure it gets to them well! and send me a picture of their faces Ill need another picture to keep in my vest. Tell erica not to worry about me to much, it wont help with her recovery and her goal to stand on her own two feet again when I make it home. Love John

Some powerful shit.
