Mr. Futersak:

Greetings fromIraq.

I have had my share of La Briute meals since being deployed toIraq.  My
mother and several friends have sent them to me and they have been a
godsend.  They are much, much tastier than the Kosher MRE meals that the
Army provides (and which I've not be able to get).  I think the company is
called "My Own Meals."  And the portions are larger.  I particulary like
the meatballs and spaghetti.  You should approach the Army.  Your food is
much, much better.

As I only eat kosher meat/poulty/fish, I have not been able to eat any of
the meat/poultry/fish served on our base.  I understood this when I joined
the Army, that is, that I'd be eating a lot of tuna and hard boiled eggs. I
did this here until I received the La Briute meals.  As I said, I really,
really enjoy the meatballs and spaghetti and I like very much the beef stew
and the chicken meal.  I'm not much of a turkey man, but when it's heated,
I enjoy it too if it's the only basar kasher I have.

When I first arrived here, people would ask me why I did not eat the
meat/poulty/fish (they only serve catfish) and I've had the honor of
sharing the laws of kashrut 25-30 times with my comrades.  I also explain
that Jewish Law allows us to eat non-kosher foods if we are truly starving.
In my Army career, I have been really, really hungry, but never starving.  
I futhermore, in a desire to share my Judaism with other, explain there are
only 3 things, according to Jewish philosophy, which you cannot do and must
die first: idolatry, sexual immorality, and murder.  But violating kashrut
can be done if live is at stake.

As I send, La Briute has been a godsend.  The meals are so tasty that I
would eat them (the meatballs and spaghetti) when I get back to the U.S.
and I can have any food I want.  That's how good this meal is.  This is my
relationship to La Briute meals.  You can print this anywhere you want for
this is how I truly feel about your meals.  I would ask that you contact
The Jewish Soldier Foundation (JSF).  They have sent me boxes of La Briute
meals to support me here.  Giving them a discount on meals would be greatly
appreciated.  They are truly devoted to supporing Jewish soldiers deployed
far from home.  The POC is Joe Kashnow.  He has not only sent me boxes of
La Briute meals, but also kosher beef jerky.  Helping of the JSF would be a
real kiddush HASHEM.  This would be creating a relationship between you and
Jewish soldier.  This is the eikar.

I am thankful for anything you send.  I will let you know when it arrives.

Please, relay warmest regards to Dr. Jon and Myriam (I know she spells it
different than "Miriam") for me when you see them.
