Hi Ray,

Congrats on the stripes. Be safe, and thankyou for your service.

Aussies, Brits, Gurkhas, Koreans, Slovaks and then some are all getting along splendidly here at the Embassy. You guyzos made my day with the kind words. God bless and keep you. Don't worry, my back is too skinny not to watch. My eyes and ears are open, and they're gonna stay open! I do miss my Sweetie at home tho. Pray for my wife, daughter and my granddaughter. Sal and all at Spydie HQ, thank you for the support and killer knives. SGT P signing off for the night.
