Unfortunately, my son, Jeremy is deploying tonight. I thought some of you might like to see this email he sent out to family and friends.

Peace, Jeff

Everyone,

I am departing for the Sandbox tonight. Please don’t send any further emails to my xxxxxx.com address as I won’t be able to check it when I arrive in Kuwait. I will not have email access for a while and will write with an address as soon as I do. For now you can revert to 1940 and send me snail mail that is 90% guaranteed to get to me in 14-75 days (no packages for now please as I won’t have room for anything besides I think that food would be pretty gross after that amount of time). My address is

McKenzie, Jeremy M., CPT
I am putting my address in here, as I will forward on anything anyone sends:

Jeffrey A. McKenzie, 8127 West Ave, Gasport, NY 14067

Please do write (via the 1940s method) and say a prayer for all of us on our way to do our duty for Queen and Country (oops, thought I was in England).

Cheers, Check Six, and See everyone in a year,

Love,
Jeremy
