Doc Fadem,
I wanted to let you know CECS has gotten a couple of shipments from PJ, and one from David Contiguglia so far. I've sent them letters as below and continue to strengthen my roster of downrange FOBs for forwarding the cigars. We greatly appreciate your help with the Cigars for Troops program, and I wanted to let you know you are making an impact on coalition morale in Afghanistan.

PJ,
Thanks for your mail, and thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! I have a couple more recent pictures since we first made contact, and have acquired a couple of new downrange contacts below:
Keith Owens
XO CLB-24
24th MEU
Unit 73860
Kandahar
APO AE 09510-3860
Todd Schreffler
HHC 3/103rd AR
Mehtar-lam FOB
APO AE 09354
These folks have received some of the cigars from your initial shipments, so you are already supporting them, but please feel free to make a direct shipment if you are able. I am certain they would appreciate it.
Thanks for your message and your kind words. Please let those who contribute to Back Home Box know how much we appreciate what they are doing.

Mr. Contiguglia,
I received your cigars yesterday, and wanted to send you a note of thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! I have attached couple recent photos of our members here at Camp Eggers, and hope you understand from our expressions the impact this has on morale at the camp. Besides smoking the cigars here locally, I plan to send a good number of them on to TSgt Michael Riley at our camp near Gardez. He is our Cigars for Troops contact down there. Besides Gardez, we support Cigars for Troops at locations across the country, and will continue to do so.
Thanks very much for your support, sir, and please feel free to share this with the Famous Smoke Shop or Melissa, who I think spoke with me earlier regarding this. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated!
