CLB-2

[Sue-Pillowcase lady]

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

Thanks for mailing Terri and I emailed the chaplain saying who was mailing.   Lyn, I'll put you down.  Betty N says that she has 125, but I don't want her to mail that many to 1 group.  So thank you.

Here are Terri's pcs:

that's wonderful Lyn.  I'll look forward to seeing them.

Cathy K got this email today:

Good morning Cathy,

 

I wanted to thank you and the sewing club for the pillowcases you sent to our Marines.   They are vey appreciated.  My RP and I have had a lot of fun handing them out.   The Marines enjoying looking through the box at all the different patterns and themes.   We have given them to Marines hear at Leatherneck and at all the FOBs around us.   They love that each one is different and were handmade.  I hope you get some mail from a few of them thanking you.

 

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and hard work.

 

Peace,

 

LT Thomas M Riley, USN

Chaplain
