Co. Rodman, Panama FPO Miami, FL 34061-1100 a 0. taW iXfigHA. Only I LETTERS Continued from Page 1 we cared." Someone knows. On Halloween, Brandon's letter was given to James Tarver, a soldier from North Carolina.

"His letter was great," Brandon says. "I know Christmas is coming up and I wish they were back. I wrote him another letter. This time it was a little longer." Others also are sending messages to soldiers they have never met, and perhaps never will meet. Peggy Musselman of Port Huron dedicated a poem to all U.S.

soldiers, explaining, "I'm the mother of boys the age to go to war, and of many I have adopted in my heart." Her poem begins: "One by one, off they go, to and fro to war." It ends: "All we can do is Pray. One by one, please don't take my loved ones away." 'The days are hot' Soldiers write of an alien world where the blue water of the St. Clair River and the green plain of Michigan's Thumb seem part of another planet. In letters to his wife, Mary Kay, 22-year-old Darin Langolf of Port Huron tells of "living in tents in the desert. The days are hot, but the time passes quickly as he is always busy.

Darin asked for a Walkman and tapes and more Kool-Aid and Gatoraid." Mostly, he misses home. He and Mary Kay were married on Christmas Eve two years ago. Darin also served in Panama, and they have spent more time apart than together. "We'll all be glad when he's home again," his wife says. "We're praying it will be over." A frequent theme of letters home: Please don't worry.

Before leaving for the gulf, Jeffrey Wessel, 27, told his family: "I love you all. Try not to worry, especially Grandma (Mat-tie Precour)." His mother, Carol, says simply, "We want him home, safe in the United States." Gerald R. Schindler, 36, left for Saudi Arabia on Oct. 8. He called his wife Barb recently and "said he and the other guys were doing fine.

He said not to worry." But, of course, loved ones do worry. Schindler, a first sergeant who was raised in Marine City, is being remembered in the prayers of his mother Helen, his 13 brothers and sister, his wife, and his three young sons. Many other children will spend Christmas without dad or mom. Herbert Jacobs, 30, a former substitute teacher for Port Huron schools, called his mother Bessie. "He said he was doing fine.

He hoped to be home soon to see his 6-month-old baby." Eric Coulter, 27, recently received a brief emergency leave to return to Port Huron where his 1-year-old son, Michael, was undergoing surgery. "I love my brother," says his sister, Mary Coulter of Port Huron. "For all the other brothers out there, I hope the crisis will be over soon." rest of tht V-j- heat it.
