Ann Stranahan takes a card from the Holidays for Heroes tree at her church during Christmastime. Thinking that the deployed service member whose name is on the card wouldn't mind a box from the States, she sends off cookies and a letter. Thinking nothing would come of it, Ann carries on with her life at medical school. Iraq was hell on Earth as far as Construction Mechanic Chief Logan Dixon was concerned. He didn't have anyone back in the States to worry about him. When a care package comes with his name on it, he has no idea what to think. Why would someone he doesn't know send him a box? Can packages and mail bridge the miles between the young medical student and the hardened Seabee? Only time will tell in the sands of Iraq.
