Pete's Address and Wish List

Peter is finally settling in at Camp Phoenix in Kabul, Afghanistan.

He would love to receive cards from people. His address is:
Peter Zakis
HHC 218th BCT
Camp Phoenix
Afghanistan
APO AE 09320

You can also reach him through e-mail at peterzakis@yahoo.com.
You can reach me at cristinazakis@yahoo.com

By the way, if you think you will be sending a package to Pete you can call the USPS at 800-610-8734 and request the "Military Kit." They will send you boxes, tape, address labels and the customs forms you will need.
He says Uncle Sam is taking good care of him so there is not much that he really needs. I will tell you that he does enjoy nuts like peanuts, cashews, almonds and walnuts. He also enjoys reading magazines about politics, the Catholic Religion, and fitness. He says he could use baby wipes to help keep things clean. Also, if you have any old movies on DVD that you can send him, he has his lap top and would love to have some movies to watch.

Right now Pete is working the night shift doing intelligence work. He says he is slowly getting into a routine. He has been able to call us each morning. He uses the international calling cards some times and then other times he uses a number the Army gave him which connects him to us for free for 15 minutes. We are all adjusting to this way of communicating and relating to one another. We save "technical talk" for e-mail and use phone time for personal/fun stuff. The boys enjoy listening to daddy on the phone. We hope to use the web cam soon.

Pete does have internet service in his room so he his able to check e-mail regularly. I have enjoyed sending him pictures and short videos of the boys. Thank God for our modern technology!

So many of you have written words of encouragement and offered to help out in so many ways. We truly appreciate your generosity and your prayers!
Love,
Peter, Cristina, Ricky and Paul
