Chaplain Ray

Hi Everyone!

I pray this message finds you all well. I'm writing you from Baghdad, Iraq. I've been waiting since we left Ft. Dix, N.J. on January 31st to get one, and today, we finally received our mailing address.
Here it is:
CH (CPT), Ayers
327 MP BN
Camp Ar-Ramadi

All is well here. I know some of you wanted to send some goodies to the soldiers in my battalion, and I thank you for your wonderful care for these fine men and women.
I know it has been a long time since I have been in contact with some of you receiving this email. As a matter of fact, I just realized that some of you don't even know that I'm deployed to Iraq. I apologize for not staying in touch. I'd love to hear from all of you, and the "snail" mail is a welcome treat. Email is nice, but letters and pictures to hold are something we all covet here.
Again, thank you for the care packages that some of you have told me you are assembling. When I receive them, you will be sure to receive an email/letter letting you know how fun it was passing it out on your behalf. You all are a blessing to me and this ministry to the 327th Military Police Batallion.
In His Grip,
CH (CPT) Ray Ayers
