My brother is 26 and he is in the army and is over in Iraq, he is missing everyone so much and wants so bad to be home for the holidays with us but can't. We asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he cried and said all he wants is hand written letters and pictures. So i was wondering if you or if you have children if you could write him a short letter saying hi to him. We would greatly appreciate it. My mom and i are mailing stuff to him everyday for awhile and the price can be a little costly to send over seas so i will give you his address and mine and we can send any letters out to him with our stuff if you would like. This would mean so much to him and my family.

Any letters would be wonderful. Thank you in advance for helping make my brothers Christmas wish come true.

So What Happened?

My brother joe made it back home from Iraq to us about 3wks ago. He is doing wonderful there are of course things he is trying to forget, and is trying to get back to normal the best he can, We are just giving him a little space to make sure he is ok after everything he has been through. He says that the letters and prayers from everyone really made him feel loved and supported. It means the so much to him myself and my entire family. Thank you all so much for praying and writing and everything else you have done, you have all been just a wonderful blessing added to our family. Thank you again. And if any one of you every need a favor please don't hesitate to ask me.

Hi M.. :) I am sorry to hear that he will not be home for Christmas. My husband is also over in Iraq and is currently stationed also at Camp Anaconda. Small world huh? I will be happy to send your brother some letters and pictures. Thank you and your family and most of all your brother for sacrificing so much for this country. We military take care of each other. Tell your brother to hang in there, time does fly and he will be home safely with his family before he knows it. I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas! :)

consider it done. I will have my wrestlers write letters too if you don't mind. I know it's kind of late but tell him to get out as soon as he can. THERES A WAR OUT THERE!it's so much better here at home. regardless, i know how he feels and i will try to distract him with my wrestling stories. hope we dont overload him.ok so when i take the letters to the post office do they automatically know what the postage is or do i have to tell them different? what about packages? what can he have/like. god Bless him for doing what he does and God Bless you for supporting him. I know how hard that is but his unselfishess will be repayed someday.

hi! I know what you are going through, my husband was over in the sandbox for a year and is now preparing to go back for 18 months. I will have my boys send pictures to your brother. Are there any other items that he may need? Baby wipes, powered drink? Let me know!! I will keep him and your family in our prayers.

Hello M.,
Let your brother know how much he means to you and your entire family. Visit the website www.IwantYouToKnowMe.com and click on the Hero book. We have used the Mom & Dad books which are incredible, but the Hero book would be fabulous for your brother and entire family.

Hi M.,

Thank you brother for sacraficing so much for this country. I appreciate your letter and will be sending him a letter out to say hello. I hope you & your family have a wonderful safe holiday. I will be thinking of both your family & Joseph during the holiday.

I have send him a letter regular mail, does it require extra postage its been quite sometime since I have sent to APO address. I had three dear friends I wrote to for almost 5 years. Its about 10 years since I have written to an APO.

Hi M.,

God Bless your Brother for the unselfish work he is doing!! I am so sorry that he can't be home for the Holidays, but as someone else stated "time will fly' for him. Your Brother and your Family will be in my prayers.
My Daughter and I will gladly send him some letters, does it require any special postage?
