Support our troops

Hello Friends & Family,

Thought it was about time for an update. Ray is doing well and has arrived at his destination in Iraq with his Army Unit. Many of you have asked what Ray's mailing address is. Letters and packages may be mailed to the following address.

CH (CPT), Ayers
327 MP BN Camp Ramadi
APO AE 09367

The post office now has new flat rate boxes that are perfect for shipping items to soldiers. As you can imagine, real mail is as good as gold. Regular postage is all that is required for (normal) cards and letters.
