Care Package Thank You Note and Pictures

Here is a letter along with some pictures we received thanking us for the care packages we sent in June. The theme for this shipment was 4th of July. You can see some of the decorations we included on the table below along with the regular snacks and toiletries we send on a regular basis.

Hi Nancy,

The packages began arriving today.  Our fabulous volunteer April sorted and displayed items for service members in our 'shopping' area.

Soldiers are so excited to see this area full of so many useful and yummy tastes of home.

Regards,

Meg

Care Package Thank You Letters

Here are two more letters thanking us for the care packages we packed and sent earlier this month. As you can see, these packages mean so much to our troops serving overseas.

Dear Nancy and Airborne Angel Cadets,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere
gratitude for your generous donation of toiletries, Bigalow Patriotic Tea,
and snacks to support the soldiers serving overseas. Your selflessness and
kindness have made a significant impact on the morale and well-being of our
brave men and women in uniform.

Your thoughtful contribution means more than words can express. The items

you donated will not only provide comfort and support to our soldiers but

also serve as a reminder that they are not alone in their service. Your

generosity has helped create a sense of camaraderie and appreciation among

the troops, boosting their spirits during challenging times.

It is through the support of individuals like you all that we can make a
difference in the lives of those who sacrifice so much to protect our
freedom. Your donation will go a long way in bringing a sense of comfort and
normalcy to the lives of our soldiers, reminding them of the support and
gratitude they have from their fellow Americans.

On behalf of the soldiers and their families, I extend my deepest thanks for
your unwavering support. Your contribution has made a meaningful impact, and
we are truly grateful for your generosity.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how your support
is being utilized, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be
delighted to provide you with updates on the impact of your donation.

Once again, thank you for your incredible generosity and for standing
alongside our soldiers overseas. Your kindness and thoughtfulness are
greatly appreciated.

I have created a pantry here for our Soldiers so they can all enjoy the
donations.  See attached photos

With heartfelt gratitude,

Respectfully,
CSM Donald C

Care Package Thank You Notes with Pictures

Here is a note, along two pictures, from a unit that received some of the care packages we sent earlier this month. The white boxes he refers to are filled with toiletries, food and snacks. The decoration boxes this time were filled with 4th of July decorations. He did a great job of decorating the mail room these items!

Nancy et al.

Thank you very much for the boxes. I got the majority of them yesterday and the remainder today. 

I then turned and decorated the mail room using the supplies provided. I also then greeted everyone who entered with "Welcome to Little America!"

I tore into the box packed specially for me and was pleased as punch to find the honey and some tea. 

I gave out 3 of the white boxes without opening them to some of the soldiers from my unit who thought they had gotten mail. Unfortunately because of a mistake the tracker didn't get updated properly. So they were going to leave the mail room sad. However because I had your group's boxes there I gave each of them one and they left with a smile on their face after stopping for a photo. It definitely helped morale.

I also got a picture of my soldiers going through the decorations boxes. 

Respectfully, 

SSG G. Alejandro V.

Soldiers Enjoying Bigelow Tea

Earlier this year, the Bigelow Tea company donated boxes of tea to be included in the care packages we pack and ship to our soldiers serving overseas in harms way. The tea was added to the boxes during our June 1st packing party. Our contacts have received and opened the boxes and we received these pictures of two soldiers enjoying the tea.
