Back in February, Marjorie M. Liu and I both posted about a soldier who was needing some birthday cards…

Today, we both received an email from him.

Just wanted to email and thank you for the blog you had put up on your website with my address over here in afghanistan. I had over 100 cards in the mail for my birthday and i cant write everyone back to tell them thanks. if you can put on your blog that I GREATLY appreciate everything that I have gotten in the mail, cards, snacks, and whatever else. Thanks for the books that were signed and sent to me as well! I am very thankful for what everyone does for soldiers, especially not knowing someone! Thank you so very much!

A hundred cards, guys… readers rock.
