I heard from the chaplain this morning.  I had talked to a base chaplain in June looking for a Marine

for a friend of mine.  While chatting, I asked about groups and said she'd put me in touch with one.

And this morning he wrote:

Good morning Mrs. Lamberson, 

I am the chaplain a Marine unit (CLB-2) that has just arrived in Afghanistan at Camp Leatherneck.   I am the relief for CLB-4 and Chaplain Potter.   He had a few pillowcases left that you had sent him and they have been a big hit with our unit.   The Marines appreciate the ‘touch of home’ the pillowcases convey.  Everything they have is very institutionalized, so I think the uniqueness of each case is refreshing. 

Thanks again and Blessings,

 Chaplain Riley   CLB-2

Put me down for one of the waves. I can do 50.

Birdie, that is great.  Which wave do you want?

It really doesn't matter. I have plenty ready to ship.

Hi Sue,

I'm so glad I checked in today, Sue.  Please put me down for 40 for wave 3.  That way, if I get more done, I can see if you need more!  What a blessing!
