To Whom It May Concern,



I would like to start out by expressing how much all of your thoughts, prayers, and words of support have helped lift mine and my husbands spirits through these hard times. It is amazing to see how many people are supporting my husband and his marines. God Bless all of you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It is people like each and every one of you that make it easier for me and my family in these hard times. I want to let you all know that I have delivered all of your emails to my husband. Although he is not allowed to use a computer he has asked me to pass on a letter of thanks he wrote himself. It will be at the bottom of this email. I wish that I would respond to each and every one of you personally, but my busy schedule right now doesn't permit that. I am also in the Navy and I am a single mom for now so my free time is very little. I thank you all for the support.

I would also like to give everyone an update on my husband. He and the marines are now out of shackles. The Marine Corp has announced that they will hold a press conference today June 21 to tell the charges of the guys. I also would like to let you all know that he got to see his 13 month old daughter for the first time since Jan. when he deployed this past Father's Day weekend. It was so amazing. He actually got to hold her and hug and kiss us both. Thanks to all of you people who have spoke about this and got the guys out of shackles. Please keep praying and spreading the word about these guys and my husband. Once again we can't thank you enough for all of the support.



Thank you and God bless,

Heather





Here is the letter written by my husband to all of his supporters:



To the American People:

Thank you so much for the support. Although, I wish I could be stating this myself but the circumstances of my situation do not allow it. You all have been great to me and the support given by you lifts me up when I get down. You raise my heart up and lift my spirits with passion and love you send. You remind me what I signed up for and what our beloved country is about. I am, with no doubt, proud to be in the Navy and proud to serve my country and the American people. My wife shows me emails that you send and I can't help but smile. I am a 20 year old Navy Corpsman. Not old enough to buy a beer, yet old enough to support a wife and child and deploy to Iraq twice. In the year and 1 month I have been married, only about 6 of those months I have had to spend with my family. During my first deployment to Fallujah, I have treated and seen my brothers fall and I am proud to be following the foot steps of many corpsmen in WWII and Vietnam. Seeing my comrades fall was very difficult and had me feeling guilty that I had not saved their lives. That is something that I am going to live with for the rest of my life. One day I hope to become a surgeon so I can save lives in a different aspect but right now, I have different things to focus on. Proud to be a Navy Corpsman and Proud to serve my country. I am the Hospital Corpsman Third Class, thanking you for your support. God Bless you all.
