Amy shrieked as she saw what she had been waiting for. The postman dropped off the mail into the mailbox and Amy ran outside. She hadn't received a letter from Matt in awhile and was hopeful that she would get one. Her wish came true as she tore open the envelope to read his words.

The joy was brought back into Amy's life as she read Matt's words over and over. Then she read the P.S. at the bottom.

P.S. Shane, my friend that I told you about awhile back, had twins born just a few days ago; a girl and a boy. He's a little depressed he couldn't be there for the birth of his first children but is so happy to know he is a dad. The war is tough but none of us asked to be here and we're all just waiting to return home.

"We're waiting for you to return home too," Amy thought in her head.

Matt had received a letter along with Shane telling them that they needed more pilots to fly in the fighter jets (Matt and Shane received some pilot training before they wet into the army), and they were both sent over to fly. It was their first day being a fighter pilot and it was going to top every other day they had been overseas. It was definitely going to be a day Matt would never forget.

They stepped into their planes and flew off. But midway into they flight, things didn't go as planned. They encountered some enemy planes and were shot down. Luckily, both Matt and Shane were able to eject from the aircrafts before they were sure to have been killed instantly from the impact of the plane hitting the ground. But they weren't out of the deep end yet. They were both instantly surrounded by Iraqi soldiers and were now prisoners of war.
