The response we have received is wonderful! Many soldiers are actually
taking up pen pals now as a result! Thank you for all you are doing for
the troops over here.------Chris

Hi!! Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I have changed
shifts and it is very hard for me to get to the internet now. We are all
doing very well, we're just trying to beat the heat. Some of us had a
chance to go home on r& r, and some haven't. I pray that we all get a
chance to go. Thank you for all of your support back on the home front.
Take care and big hugs to you. 


Thank you,

To you and everyone who is supporting us: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I can't tell you enough times how great this is! I feel bad because
there are actually too many people responding for me to actually write
them all and tell them thank you. Please let them know on the web-site
that everyone here appreciates so much every last card, letter, note or
care package that is sent!!!!!! We are to the point where there is not a
single person who doesn't get something in the mail, whether it be
personally to them or something they need/want in a care package to 'any
soldier.' I can't express how much every little thing helps. Whatever it
may be - letter or care package - helps not only us here, but our
families back home. It takes the stress off of not only those of us here
but off the families back home who do not have as much time to write
(because they are picking up the extra responsibilities we used to
handle when we were there) or do not have the money to always get and
send us -- Chris
