May 2009:
G.C. Murphy’s in Iraq
Air Force Sgt. James Dylan is serving with the 379th
Expeditionary Communications Squadron in Iraq. He writes:
“Hi, you
might think this is funny, but I am a soldier in Iraq, and one
day I was digging through a pile of old CARE packages people in the
states sent, and I found this unopened pack of handkerchiefs from an
old Murphy's store.
I am from
California and have never heard of or seen a Murphy's, (but) the
package
looked old, so I went online and typed in Murphy's and your site came
up.
Kind of funny, no? How many decades ago
(?) that package was sitting on
a shelf in a Murphy's store, someone bought them and they were sitting
somewhere unopened all these years, and they were thrown in a CARE
package and end up in Iraq in 2009? It's a hell of a story.
So I scanned in the empty
wrapper and here it is for you, if you
are interested.
Also, yes, the
handkerchiefs are currently being used in the desert!”
