Thank you for the  cookies, my compliments to the cook. Getting your  letter today did indeed, brighten my day! Right  now Im just sitting here listening to Winger  and writing you a letter.   It’s been a long week, it feels good  to have a day off, [[strikethrough]] ener [[/strikethrough]] even if there isn’t much  to do. The beer tent opens up in an hour, I  guess I’ll have to go drink a few!  So, tell me about yourself, what do  you look like, what do you like to do? You  know things like that! Me, well, Im 6’6”, Brown  hair, hazel eyes. AND I’m 20 yrs old. I’m originally from long Island  my self. I miss it a lot. Im stationed in  North Carolina and I’m deployed Here to Saudi.  This place is a real bummer, let me tell you.   I like to do things like Paint /Draw,  Read a little, I used to race cars for awhile,  I played football all through High School. I played  Hockey when I was real young and I still  play now. (except here in the desert.) About a [[strikethrough]] moth [[/strikethrough]]                             [[Nick Dante 6/23/2016]] [[Page 3- Letter]]  month ago, I bought a guitar and started  learning to play. Ive been trying to keep myself  as busy as possible because this place gets real  boring, real quick.  Hey. Im gonna go now, I’ll be looking  forward to hearing from you again.      Take Care         George
