Staff Sergeant Spencer Strider

Mother, Reports have surfaced of our struggles on the battlefield thus far. Reinforcements are on the way as myself, SSG Acuña & SGT Murphy continue to heal in the infirmary. We long to return to #BravesCountry soon. Enclosed is an updated photo for the family. Love, Spencer

Mother, My most recent stay in the infirmary has come to an end and I will get to join the rest of my platoon as we continue to try to dig out of the hole we put ourselves in early in the campaign. Tomorrow we begin the siege on the gNats of D.C. Updates to come. Love, Spencer

Mother, Our fortunes have turned, at least on the battlefield, having taken 3 straight battles from the Twin City platoon. However, in my return to battle my leg was injured and I will be returning to the infirmary. Hopefully it will be a short stay. Updates to come. Love, SS

Mother, Last nights battle against the Philly platoon was quite the experience. Mother Nature showed her face & almost forced a cease fire. However, we persevered. Thanks to a long range bomb by SPC Ozuna, we were victorious. We rest & now we must fight in Tampa Bay. Love, SS

Mother, Despite a less than stellar performance from SSG Sale, our platoon was victorious over the Philly platoon. Our offensive units looked much improved & and our secondary sidearms performed exceptionally. We look to continue the momentum tonight behind PFC Holmes. Love, SS

Mother, The platoon had itself a fish fry tonight behind PFC Schwelly’s leadership! Our offensive units looked much improved, also. It was good to be home. My own practice field simulation went well, also. I am nearing a return to full strength. More updates to come! Love, SS

Mother, The platoon has returned home to Atlanta & tonight will seek to deter an attack from the Fish Army. PFC Schwellenbach will be leading our men into battle & we can only hope our offensive units perform up to their standards back at home. Updates to come. Love, Spencer

Mother, Word from the front lines has arrived & last nights siege on LA was as catastrophic of a failure as possible. Despite a competent showing by PFC Elder, our offensive struggles only continued & our relief sidearms could not hold the line. I’m at a loss. Love, Spencer

Mother, The decision on who shall carry on the mission of sending the Atlanta platoon updates home has been narrowed down to two soldiers. Both have served honorably up to this point. The final decision shall come soon. Love, Formerly SSG Max Fried

Mother, With a resounding yes from #BravesCountry, we shall continue the letters home as another member of the Bravest platoon east of the Mississippi. Now it is up to them who will pick up the pen. Update letter to come in 1 week. Love, Formerly SSG Max Fried

#BravesCountry, As our dear Max has departed for the north, we must make a decision. How should our letters proceed? Take a moment to ponder and then make your desires known. We look forward to the new campaign.

Mother, For the final time I write home. My enlistment with the Atlanta platoon was amazing & winning the final campaign has been the pride of my enlistment. Please give my gratitude to #BravesCountry for all of their support. Now I head north. My new platoon awaits. Love, Max

Mother, I figured I would write to update you on the news. My time with the Atlanta platoon has come to an end. I’m not ready to write that letter just yet. However, I have signed an 8 year enlistment with the Yankee platoon. I report to New York in the spring. Love, Max

Mother, Yesterday, I failed. The Padre platoon was victorious, ending our pursuit of the ultimate victory. Now we rest, heal & prepare for the next campaign. However this time will be different, as my enlistment has ended & a decision must be made on where I serve. Love, Max

Mother, It took every single moment possible, but we have secured the opportunity to continue our campaign. We now are heading to San Diego to face a tough Padre platoon. We do not yet know who will lead us into battle, but we will give it our all. Updates to come. Love, Max

Mother, I don’t know what the future holds. But last night was a special night. I led our men to victory and did my best to give them everything I had. We now control our own destiny. SPC Lopez will be back to lead us tonight as we pursue to continue our campaign. Love, Max

Mother, I am sorry for the delay in my writings. It has been an up and down campaign and the infirmary has become full. Thankfully we have welcome SGT Albies back, but we face an uphill battle. I shall lead the men today as we make a final push for this campaign. Love, Max

Mother, Our foray into Minnesota proved productive, as we took all three battles in the Twin Cities. We have now headed east to a very important set of battles in the city of Philly. Today we lay siege on the Philadelphia platoon. Post battle updates to come! Love, Max

Mother, I led our men to victory in Minnesota last evening, despite Mother Nature’s best attempt to interrupt. I feel my sidearm is continuing to improve since returning from the infirmary myself. We continue our pursuit, despite all of the men we have lost. Love, Max

Mother, I have not written due to the fact we have had no good news to write about. But I felt obligated to update. We are out in the Rockie mountains, laying siege to the Colorado platoon. Our first attempt was unsuccessful but I lead the men into battle today, hoping to change…
