I found this letter on AOL--
-----------------------------------------------

Amy,

It's our fifth day here and the box with the mattress and writing stuff got here today, plus we got electricity so there's something other then sleeping to do after dark. Still no showers, but we found a local fire station today that let us get showers. I smelled way worse than a hamster! There are NO phones so I don't know when I'll be able to talk to you.

We're working our butts off setting up camp. It's not really desert here, more like a gravel parking lot. We put up tents and haul sandbags to keep bugs out and generally establish camp. Somehow my company is pulling all guard duty.

The camp is in Kuwait. Sand is everywhere. In my butt, in my teeth, in my ears. The weather is almost perfect though. It rains for about two minutes at a time, but it rains buckets. Tyler and I are getting along famously so far. We've made each other fall over laughing, mostly about the crappy conditions here. I've made friends with some of the RAF (British) troops. I tell them about our honeymoon and you. I swear that I'm not going to cry for at least one month.

I miss you so much but I can't think about it or I'll never think about anything else. I regret every time I missed making you happy and every time I stayed mad at you when I shouldn't have. I get made fun of for Sweetpea (the teddy bear), but everyone is jealous even when they make fun of me and they admit it.

I know this letter isn't long enough but I'm tired and the lights are going out soon.

I wear my wedding ring on my dog tag chain and I kiss it at least twice a day.

I love you. Goodnight.

Doug

Satya...ALL TROOPS...WHETHER THEY ARE IRAQI, AMERICAN, NEPALESE, BRITISH...

D-B-B: Then I agree with you. Though they are killing each other they are not the culprits.
