Bret,

Yesterday evening Sarmed delivered the farming supplies to

a family of farmers near his farm.   He told me that

they haven't seen many Americans before as they live

far from the city but now, they feel different and they

think different about Americans, yesterday, they were

doubting everything bad they heard before about

Americans.   Not only because they received new stuff,

but because there is somebody who thinks about them,

remembers them, recognizes them.   There was an old woman

and she was like the leader for that family, she didn't

stop praying for you guys for two hours.  You and the

FFA team must be proud of yourselves.

Sarmed took many pictures, I will send them consequently by

e-mails.  He also took couple pictures of the equipments

we use for farming in Iraq.

THANKS AGAIN MY FRIEND FOR EVERYTHING
