Mail gives Soldiers ‘a piece of home’

 

BAQUBAH, Iraq (Army News Service, Nov. 7, 2006) – “Nothing in the world is better than receiving mail,” said Sgt. Agustin Sanchez – and he would know.

 

“Most Soldiers don’t get their mail until after they get back from work,” said the El Paso, Texas native. “When you come home from a long day of working hard or being out on patrol, nothing beats coming back and hearing, ‘Hey, you’ve got mail!’”
"When I get mail, it's like Christmas every month because I don't get many packages back home," said Spc. Eddie Quintero, a native of San Diego, Calif. "It's a piece of home in a box."
