Middle East beyond Saudi Arabia

Due to the crisis in the Persian Gulf, I have been watching a lot of TV newscasts and reading a lot of articles in the local and national newspapers. I have noticed that whenever somebody mentions the Middle Easte, they are talking about Saudi Arabia, only. Not that I don’t care about the U.S. military members over there, because I do.

Since I live just 35 minutes from Loring AFB, I know of a lot of people some my friends, from there who are deployed to the Middle East. But I also know that they were not sent to Saudi, but temporarily stationed elswehere. I am just writing so people will acknowledge somewhere else in the Middle East besides Saudi Arabia.

I also know that not all of the servicemen and women over there are getting any mail from home. If you’d like to write and bring a little bit of home to the men and women of Loring, the address us: Any Serve Member P.O. Box 29 (SAC) FPO San Francisco, CA 96685-2000
