Letters From the Front Hello Everyone! Just to share some news with all of you…Raymond Eyles, Jr. (former Leominster policeman) just called our office via the computer from Iraq! Dennis Lyddy, an Iraqi Veteran and Graves Registrar for our office, along w/myself were able to speak at length w/Ray via speaker phone. He was calling to thank Amercian Family Link for the packages he received from our mailing on July 26, 2007. So, for anyone who contributed money wise or "treat" wise…know that he was absolutley thrilled to receive boxes from Leominster. Ray is there to assist in training the Iraqi police to take care of their own, being protected by coalition forces-Polish, Mongolian and Lithuanian troops…he is in a very, very dangerous area. Please keep these men and women in your thoughts and prayers.
