NEWS FROM THE FRONTA Soldiers Mom 05/09/03I was able to glean a small amount of information from Fort Sill wives.The news is that SOLDIERS IN THE 2-5 BATTALION are sleeping on the ground,the temperature is in the 100's, 108 is the most common temp.They have water to drink but none for a shower.They have their MRE's (Meals Ready To Eat) and what we send them from home. Needless to say these care packages are a Godsend to these brave soldiers.Not only is there the heat there are fleas.The worst news to get was that they are NOT sitting quietly on a hill.Their duties now are security, they carry their gun 24/7 more than likely on checkpoint duty.Keeping up morale is of the upmost importance.Letters, care packages,postcards,small notes anything will mean the world to these heroes suffering horrors we can only imagine about.
