"Hello!! I recently received a care package in the mail....which is unusual because I never get mail....so I was like....I don't know these people....what is going on! MAIL! Whoo hoo! I wanted to say thank you very much. I don't think that is good enough. Ok...I don't have the words to thank you for the care package, it was really really cool!"

“It brought tears to my eyes to know people care so deeply out there. It's true what Ben says....People do get so busy in their lives, they don't always take the time to acknowledge things that are easy to walk on past.”

“CAN''T SAY HOW MUCH YOUR CARE PACKAGES HELP OVER HERE. SO THANKS FIVE TIMES OVER FOR THAT.”

“Didn't expect all that but this is just great. moral levels should come up, (they did last time) smiles on several faces. I don't think people know, when we get motavating packages in the mail like that we leave the base feeling prouder than we did the day before, not forgotten, full of pride, we feel like a respected soldier. people we don't know send us stuff to make it better ( for the most part it isn't about the stuff, it's the fact that we still have support.) so thanks a bunch for all of that.”

“The purpose of any package sent is apparent in an email received from Ben, and also what he mentioned in our conversation today. Being in contact with Denise, he has relayed to the "guys" they will be receiving packages from complete strangers. Not having received their packages yet, but knowing they're coming, the soldiers walk with a lighter step, heads held a bit higher, and smiles more often than usual. When they leave base, they leave prouder and more confident, knowing people they don't know are thinking of them, and care enought to spend their hard earned money on "little old them". “

“just want to let you know right away(what your doing is by far the best thing any old friend,or person for that matter has done for the guys and myself.)see smiles when we roll out on mission again,it's like we all have something to look forward to. kind of weard guys keep smiling at me when I come around, (starting to think there gay.) just want to say thanks. “

“Thanks, for taking time out of your busy day to keep my spirits up!”

“hi i am spc wise i received your package it was very nice thank you
i am from west virgnia i am 22 i am married my wifes name is amber we have a son who is 1year 4 mounths old
it is a great thing you do sending packages to us it is great to have the support of others out side of the family”

“I want to thank you with all of my heart, For your support and worries, Especially the prayers. thank you also very much for the gifts.”

“Denise I can't repeat enough , how in awe I am of you and your adoptees ! When reading your kind words of me, a thought went through my mind I wanted you to pass on to the other adoptees. Just as my mothers heart is touched by those helping where I am not able to do so, each and every one of those soldiers they have adopted, is someones son, brother, or husband. They are bringing peace and love to many more hearts than just mine or their soldiers ! “

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS!
