February 2011--Hearts from Home

 HHC

I wanna say thanks for the Valentine Day cards that we received from the students at Southern Elementary in Pulaski County. I submitted a photo of the unit. We are the HHC, 129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion out of Fort Campbell, KY. I am the Supply Sergeant. "I want to tell the kids that school is very important and that education is really going to carry them far in life. So continue to listen to your teachers because they are there to teach you what you will need to know to survive in todays world." I will continue to stay in touch and maybe send more pictures and maybe when we return from our duty, we will stop by the school and talk to the kids if its ok. Thanks once again!
