Thanks Pred, . About three weeks ago I sent him the latest with 4 quart sized bags full of elk jerky from my Sept. cow. I made him up a batch of mesquite, red chile and reg salt and pepper , and we also sent him some Sadies Salsa(local NM vendor,and great stuff), and he just recieved it this past week . I love to get his emails, trying to stay in touch from home as much as possible, my little sister flys out December 11th , also a Marine.I think my wife and the mother of the man who I send this stuff to enjoy putting care packages together ...
