Greetings AnySoldier/AnySailor,
Here's a photo of the most of the US Navy's Hospital Corpsmen whom you've been supporting with all of your care packages, letters, hygiene kits, and other goodies from home. I finally had the chance to capture a photo of most of us all at once. You have humble gratitude for keeping us in high spirits as we attempt to help those who are much less fortunate then us [US Citizens]. My Sailors and I have enjoyed your blessings and contributions to our efforts so far.
Please keep us in your prayers.
Thank you very much
