Family and Friends of Weapons Company,

Greetings from Marjeh, Afghanistan. I want to let you know that your Marines and Sailors are doing well. The weather here is starting to warm up rapidly and it looks like it will be a hot summer. We are currently approaching the halfway point of the deployment as we continue to stabilize Marjeh. The Marines and Sailors are directly supporting the other companies every day by keeping the roads clear of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s), our biggest threat at the moment. Your Marines and Sailors continue to maintain a high level of professionalism and motivation due to all the letters, family photos, and packages that you send, so keep them coming. Currently we are constructing a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Marjeh; this comes at a very good time because we have moved multiple times in and around the area. This will be our new home until we can transit back home and into the arms of our loving families. As the Commanding Officer of Weapons Company, I would like to thank each and every one of you for the support that you give us from home.

Thank you and Semper Fidelis.

Capt Zinni
