“On behalf of the Office of the Chaplain, the soldiers here at Camp Eggers and myself, I would like to extend thanks for the packages which we received. It is warm thoughts like this that make me proud to be a soldier serving my country. I will make sure the contents of these packages are distributed well and that each item goes to use. Looking through what is packaged here, I can’t help but feel a twinge at knowing that, in a time when one can seem so removed from the world, people back home are thinking of me.”
“I cannot thank you enough or tell you what your support means to me. Sometimes, when we watch the news, it is so overwhelmingly negative so it is always a plus to see something positive. Again, thank you for your support for the soldiers. It really was a bright spot in my day!”
“It means a lot to know we have the support of folks back home and that you care enough to send us goodies. Whatever we don’t use personally gets shared with the gang. Trust me – Nothing goes to waste and everything gets used or eaten.”
“I am writing to thank you for the wonderful care package that you sent to the troops here at Camp Eggers and throughout the Combined Security Transition Command - Afghanistan. The thoughtfulness behind the care package and your support mean so much and go a long way in keeping our troops' morale high as they continue their mission of mentoring, training and equipping the Afghan Army and Afghan Police.”
