All volunteers since Day 1.

From the FRONT – 21 Aug 26

Good day!

I wanted to express our thanks for the boxes of goodies we received yesterday.  I can tell you, there was much excitement about everything that arrived but I’ve never seen such negotiating when it came down to the cigars!  This was the capture quite a while after the first box was opened but I think we had at least five or six more individuals in the room.  We appreciate the support and the generosity from all. As I approach the end of my deployment here and the incredible highs and lows, moments of uncertainty of calm, I can say without a doubt each time we receive your care packages the instant delight will remain a fantastic memory.

Again – we’ve been so appreciative of your support and thank you to all who make our world brighter – anyone who thinks they are not making a difference or just going through the motions and doing things for people that may not appreciate it are dead wrong.  Everyone here loves mail call especially when surprises are in store!

Thank you for everything!

I am writing to personally thank you for the generous care packages and for following up with us. Our unit has safely returned to our home station in the United States, and we are incredibly grateful to be back.

Your support was particularly meaningful during this deployment. We frequently operated in highly remote locations with extremely limited access to food, mail, or basic amenities. The items you provided were vital, offering essential hygiene supplies and a much-needed sense of comfort to our Soldiers during these challenging transitions.

Please note that we also distributed all extra packages and supplies to neighboring and incoming relieving units in the region. Your generosity truly had a widespread, positive impact across multiple units in the field.

On behalf of all our Soldiers, thank you for your enduring dedication to our service members.

Respectfully, SFC C.
