I thought it was only right to write a thank you note for your kind donation of welfare goods for the soldiers.  I am in command of a very small team so we do not normally receive any welfare packs as they are quite rightly sent to the fighting troops.  It is important for us out here in Afghanistan to know that the public are still behind us and these very kind gifts give us a much needed morale boost especially when we are nearing the end of what has been a very hard tour for us all out here.  Most of us are due to swap over but a small number of soldiers are only just starting like myself but it makes it so much easier to do a difficult job when we know that the public is 100% behind us.  Again thank you very much for your kind gift from all f us in the Military Provost Staff.
