From an Army SFC in Iraq:
"Thank you so very very much for donating your time, kind thoughts, kind deeds,
money and everything else and everyone else behind the scenes; those who made
it, bought it, stored it, grew it, and blessed it and packaged it and mailed it,
and those who stuffed the love in it, and the cards and letters. You are ALL too
wonderful. God's Blessings and favors be on you and your families …"

From an Air Force Pilot:
"Slowly but surely we are making strides in the right direction. We are winning
the hearts of a people who have not trusted anyone in a long time. Keep on
praying."

From an Army Lt Col:
"Thank you very much for sending the boxes of goodies and the kind thoughts,
words of encouragement and prayers, As a commander I cannot begin to tell
you how much your actions have helped us. Our Soldiers are about 3 months
from going home and your kind gesture helped give us that extra "kick" to
make it through the last few months Probably more important it reaffirmed
for many of us that we are not forgotten. Thank you so much! You really
made our day!!"
