Thanks from the Mother of LEPL Kirk Drake

LCpl Kirk Drake, a U.S. Marine serving in Iraq, with his sister.

I hope you don't tire of hearing this but, thank you again for your packages to Kirk and his fellow Marine's. And to reassure you, they ARE making a difference in those guys’ lives. My son is very passionate about his service to his country and he knew what he was getting in to when he signed up 2 years ago. He has always loved army men and guns and stuff and now he gets to be a "real" fighter. One of the few, the proud, a United States Marine.

And yes, Kirk's father and I are so proud of what he is doing. It may not have been the path that we would have chosen for him (the Marines) but it was his decision and we support him 100%. We also support our President in the choices he has made and is making. No, I don't want my son in Iraq but I do want my son to be where he needs to be to perform the job that he has been trained to do and to gain that level of satisfaction in knowing that he is making a difference. He has always been that kind of guy- always wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. Thanks again for all that you and your co-workers are doing for our military. May our Lord pour out His blessings on each of you because of your generosity and love.

I believe you are putting in to practice Philippians 2:1-4.

Thank you,

Sissy Drake
