We don't normally talk about the care packages and letters so cool story. Any little piece of home is highly beneficial. Even in modern war zones it can take a long time to get "snail mail". I would sometimes spend six weeks forward and couldn't wait to get back to a hand written letter. Never got cards though - that would have been cool. Thank you for your service.
