(phone card information is at the bottom of this page) An email from one of our recipients:
Mr. Rustman,
Good evening. I hope you and the members of Post 206 are well. I located your email address via the Post 206 website and would appreciate your assistance and passing my message to your Post members . Today I received a “flag for my pocket” with the kindly worded note and the folded American Flag enclosed. I wanted to thank you and the members of American Legion Auxiliary Post 206 for your patriotism, service, and consideration for providing such a thoughtful message and gift. I am currently serving in Southwest Afghanistan and your thoughtfulness truly made my day today and as I continue to carry the flag and your note with me I will no doubt serve as a daily source of motivation as I’m reminded of your kindness and patriotism. Keep safe, God Bless, and thank you for your service. Merry Christmas. Semper Fidelis, Kerry Maj Kerry K. Mengelkoch, USMC Gender Advisor and Education Officer RC(SW)/ II MEF (FWD) C-9, Afghanistan
