Being enlisted in the military means serving your country, not only potentially going out into the field if there is war, but includes having a completely different work environment compared to normal jobs. I can't disclose all I know while I've been by his side since the beginning when he enlisted, but what I can say with how it's handled can have negative mental and physical affects on a person. Many people who do not have close or loved ones in the military may not know just how much this can affect somebody. It can change them for the best or the worst, it can test their limits of what they can handle and make them feel absolutely isolated.

Support Packages or letters is one way to ward off those negative affects. Reminding them there are people who care wanting them home and packages that fill what the military fails to give. I love him and scared for his life, not if the war will get him, but if all that darkness will take him while he's out there so far away. My heart also goes out to the rest of them as well. Although due to restrictions I am not allowed to send packages or letters for any soldier, what extra he has left over in the package he can give to others.
