Pfc. Joshua M. Johnson, assigned to the Battalion Landing Team 3/6, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, early in Operation Enduring Freedom. His mother, Judy Walters, lives in Pawnee, Ill.

Mom,

Well, I’m currently at the Kandahar International Airport, providing security in my foxhole. We’ve been digging for several days now, and I’m getting quite tired of it.

Not much of anything else is going on, though, so you have no need to worry. I am in God’s hands and the men to my flanks are very trustworthy. I can’t wait to come home to a good country meal. Take care of Kota and tell him to quit getting out of his cage. I love and miss you very much.

Your Loving Marine son,
Joshua
