Subject: Fw: Unit Update - Happy Holidays!
Hello to all the Families and Friends of Company B!
I hope this finds you all in good spirits as the Holidays rapidly approach. I wanted to share with all of you the following unit update I received from CPT Noyes to give everyone some information on how things are progressing overseas. I also wanted to let everyone know that the soldier's have received the Christmas Stockings, Mr. Potato Heads, Snowflake Ornaments that was a collaborative effort of all the families and friends during the Florence/Pittsfield Family meetings in November. They loved them. Also, they have received and put up the Giant Inflatable Snow Globe that I sent over (bought by our Retired 1SGT Steve Kordana) as an added gift to give our soldiers a piece of home and snow for the Holiday Season. I've received reports that many of our soldiers decided to open their Christmas presents next to it to watch it snow while they open their gifts.
Wishing everyone a very happy and safe holiday season!
All my love and best wishes!

Hi Chris,
The soldiers are doing very well here. Once again they are making there mark as one of the best units on the Base camp. We already have manyrecognitions by the the Battalion and the Brigade. CPL Carlson has been recognized for his contributions working in the Battalion Headquarters. He has single handedly trained himself on the key communication systems. Helped other in understanding the communicationsystems operations. Basically He has been the glue that keeps theBattalion TOC together.1LT Furlong has been recognized for his exceptional efforts in organizing the Prisoner escort team. He and his team have conducted many numerousprisoner escorts to other camps and each time the operation has runflawlessly even under adverse conditions. MSG Lavesque is the Compounds Supply NCO. His efforts have been paramount in ensuring the Iraqi election process went off without a hitch. He worked tirelessly to ensure the Iraqi officials had all the equipment they needed.Where he found some of the supplies is still a mystery. SSG Casey and his team of mechanics are making a name for themselves as the best maintenance crew on our base camp. Many other units have come to them for maintenance support knowing they could provide the service that there own maintenance teams could not provide. Compound operations would come to a halt if it was not for there efforts. The Headquarters section is doing an outstanding job managing all of the Company issues. Especially when they are constantly being over tasked on other operations. 1SG Shipman, SGT Clinton, SSG Adams, SGT Flis, SGT Brandon and especially Glen are the dream team of Headquarters platoon.All of the other soldiers from Headquarter Platoon have been assigned toother duties leaving them with a skeleton crew to conduct daily operations.When ever things go right or wrong I usually blame your husband or SGT Flis. Mostly Flis. I think he has come accustomed to it. You should be proud of Glen, he is an exceptional soldier. SGT Flis is rapidly becoming the go to man for Communications issue's on the Base. Many units come to him instead of the Battalion for Communication support. Let the families know that there soldiers are doing a great job and they can be very proud of there achievements. The work they are doing is strategically critical to Americas success in the War on terror.
Thanks much
Mike
