Dear Marines:
Thank you for praying for us. Our long struggle is over. You can't imagine how good it feels to not be hooked up to those machines. I understand my dad is one of you. He went to a place called Parris Island, long before we were born. I know he and mom really miss us. Please tell them not to mourn.
This place is really great. There is not a bit of anger, malice or hate. When we first got here we met a man. He said his name was Jesus. He gave us both hugs; and told us welcome home. He then sat us down, and told us about some of the things he did. He said he allowed himself to be put up on a cross. He said he died for all of us, so all mankind would not be lost. He talked about resurrection, and of joy and peace and love.
After meeting him, we were taken to await our new orders. While there we met other Marines. They seem really nice. They talked to us about sacrifice, and paying the ultimate price. One told me about a place called Khe Sahn, another talked about rice paddies in a place called Vietnam. Another one told us about a place called Surabachi, and how some of his friends raised the American flag.
Tell the Marines who prayed for us, they're prayers were not in vain. Neither I nor my brother can feel any pain. The food up here is great. Someone told us that it was better than MRE's. I don't really know what those are, but with the face he made, I don't think they're any good. Don't cry for us; we have it made in the shade. It was our time to be called up; new duty assingments had to be made. We're not sure as to where we'll be assigned to yet, those should be coming shortly.
When we arrived the Captain of the Marine Guard told us that we could rest for a little bit before we had to get busy. He said his Marines were on the job, so we didn't have to worry. Well that's all for now, they're calling us into formation. There's so much to see and do. So don't shed any tears for us, this place is great. We couldn't have asked for anything better. So keep your prayers going Marines, you may never know who you'll help. Live each day to the fullest, smile, enjoy your families.
We have to go. So don't worry.
Very Truly Yours,
Daniel Joseph and Andrew Grant Ouellette.
