Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Shadid White of Fleet Marine Force, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., writes from Kandahar, Afghanistan, to his wife, Tanya, in New Bern, N.C.

Dear Tanya,

I thank you for being there during every step of my journey. At times in this walk I felt it was you who did most of the carrying.

Through your strength, I have become stronger. I appreciate that. Love you with every beat of my heart.

Shadid
