I just wanted to send you a quick email to let you all know I got the coffee that was donated to the troops in Iraq. My name is Steve Wadleigh and I've been here in Iraq for quite some time. We were so happy when we saw the coffee come in the mail. I've been telling people for a week now that my wife talked to Bruce at Boca Java and he said he was sending me and my unit some coffee. We opened the boxes and handed a lot of it out and kept a few boxes in our office so we will have coffee to drink here for a while. As a matter of fact I'm drinking a cup right now and it is really good. We've been drinking Maxwell House since we got here so you can only imagine how good it was to have some real coffee. I just want to let you all know that all the guys here said thank you and it is great to know that there are people back in the states that think about us and are willing to support the troops whether you agree with this war or not. Things are going better over here in Iraq that's for sure. I don't have much time to write things are busy over here but I just want to close by saying we are making a strong difference in the people and the country of Iraq. Don't always listen to the news or what the media says because its not as bad as they make it sound. I'm proud to be here and proud to see the difference we are making everyday. Its great to have men and women and children run up and hug you and thank you for their freedom that we are fighting for. One things for sure I can't wait to return to the US and see my wife and little girl again I miss them so much. Keep us in your prayers as you and our country are always in mine. Thank you again from the soldiers in my division in Iraq.

Sincerely Steve Wadleigh
