We are thankful for the service of these Soldiers in Afghanistan. And we are glad the care packages were well received.
... You and your people were more than generous. It took my staff and I a while to separate and distribute all of the items that you sent. All of my soldiers asked me to express their gratitude to you and your people. I wish that I could personally thank them all. There were so many items that we were able to share with other units that are assigned to our Battalion.
Due to our mission requirements, I was not able to assemble the entire unit for a picture, but I am attaching some pictures of my staff and I with some of the packages. I don't know how to express how greatful my soldiers and I are for your generosity. Thank you seems to be so inadequate. It is people like all of you who never let us forget why we serve. Thank you so very much for your kindness to my soldiers and I. God bless you and your people and God bless the United States of America.
Respectfully, First Sergeant
