Hey, what’s up?
How are you all doing? Well, I am in Kandahar, Afghanistan. We have been here for about a week. It’s really not too bad. I’ve got some pretty cool pictures to show you. I’m sure you have been seeing this place all over TV.
We will be here for Christmas. We have a Christmas tree set up in the building, and we made up some makeshift ornaments. I’ll try to write again later. Tell Adam to get the Marine Corp Times. I might be in it. Check Linda’s e-mail for a pic. Tell everyone I said hi.
Love,
Chris
