WOW! Thanks for all the support! We just got a bunch of boxes and have put everything to good use. The
blankets/pillows and underwear/pajama pants have been given to guys we have coming in from the Firebases. We
gave out both coffee urns and coffee to other sections to use. Everyone loves the bread maker. There is nothing
like getting up in the morning to smell fresh bread. Everyone here thanks you and everyone that put together the
packages. We truly appreciate it.

Hello Ma'am,
First, I would like to thank your organization and you for everything you have sent. Wow! The response has been
absolutely overwhelming. Things are beginning to pick up here as you probably know and it is only going to get
busier...
I got the Bread Makers! They are an absolute hit. I have to reign my Soldiers back on baking. So for right now I
would say we may need bread making supplies.
...Thanks again, your support really means a great deal.

....Once again thanks a million for all you and your organizations does, it really helps the morale here at XX
Hospital. You guys are a true blessing! I'll be in touch as I get closer to going home.

and happy new year. thank you again for your continued support. enclosed a photo of last night's

My name is Shawn XX and I was wounded in action during my last deployment. My wife and I received your
wonderful thank you cards while I was in recovery in the hospital. Your heartfelt notes were comforting during a
time of heightened anxiety. It is such a sense of pride knowing that we are still appreciated for what we do. I am
very proud to have served my country & you. May you and your family enjoy the holidays. Thank you for your
continued support.

I just want to say thank you and let you know how appreciated it is that your organization sent us enough electric
blankets for the detachment as well as the bread maker and what appears to be an endless supply of bread mix!
The blankets have worked wonders during these cold winter nights where the temperature drops below freezing
on a regular basis. And I must add that the smell and taste of fresh warm bread is something that everyone here
enjoys on almost a daily basis.
We really appreciate all of your generosity over the last two months and would like to express our heart-felt
thanks. If you are able to can you please send me a good address to send a little token of our appreciation?
Thank you for everything!
Respectfully,

Thanks so much. We are still here and are suppose to leave sometime this month. The sweats will come in handy
because it is cold here. I thank you so much again you have made many of our wounded warriors very
comfortable on their aeromedical evacuation flights home.

Lori Pate,
My name is Lt XXXX and I just received the box you sent with the coffee maker as well as the coffee, coffee cups,
etc. I know that you are not the only one involved, as the card had more signatures than I could count, so if
you could pass this on to the rest of them, I would greatly appreciate it.
It was wonderful to receive that box from you all. We had a coffee maker but with over XXXX in our company,
this will make life a lot easier; one big batch of coffee every morning. It's great to know that we have people as
supportive as you back home, willing to donate your hard earned time and money to send gifts like this to us.
Thank you,
