On 29 August we had a special Memorial Gold Star pack in honor of our Fallen. A Gold Star wife and son were a huge part of the event and the 7-yr-old, Ryan, made a note for each box and helped pack. This is a response from one of our Adoptees:

“Dear Ryan,
I would like to personally say thank you for your note and a very big THANK YOU from the (unit name redacted). Your gifts were very well enjoyed and very much appreciated. I did not personally know your father but have heard many great things about him and I am very sorry for your loss. I too am a police officer. I am a police officer in New Jersey. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing an amazing thing for our Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors that are overseas. Keep up the great work, I am most certain that your father is very proud of you as am I. Roberto.”

NOTE: Special Forces Charitable Trust provided a grant to purchase cigars for the guys!

Attached is a picture of us enjoy some nice cigars watching the setting sun. Thanks again to you and your organization for all the support you provide to the troops. Mike, 29 Aug 2018

I just wanted to say thank you for the care packages. It was well received
and everyone enjoyed the Body Armor drinks, tuna, fig bars and goodies. We
are just getting into our battle rhythm out here and everyone is eager to
get out into their team houses. Very Respectfully, William 24 Aug

The entire team thanks you. They are huge fans as am I of the Body Armor Drinks. We cannot thank you enough for your extreme generosity. I apologize we have had an insanely busy schedule this past week. We got your boxes and “Enjoy” doesn’t even begin to describe the excitement on my troops faces when we opened your boxes. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts nothing tastes better after a mission than an ice cold body armor fruit punch. v/r Jake, 21 August

The Nature’s Bakery fig bars are hitting their targets. Just got this today from one of our Adoptees –
“Hello, I wanted to take this time to send my gratitude for the care package. My Soldiers and I are truly grateful for your support, time and effort! We are all doing well in (location redacted), Afghanistan and we look forward to returning stateside…” Ramon, 16 Aug 2018

“Hi, Just wanted to say thank you for the care packages you pushed out to me and my team in (redacted). We very much appreciate your support.
Thanks! – James – 13 Aug 2018

Thanks, I got my shipment. It did not last more than 5 mins before everything disappeared. The troop loved it.

Good Morning All! I hope this message find everyone well and staying cool. It has been a crazy few weeks and the weather here has been quite interesting to say the least. ‘120 days of wind’ is no joke! I just wanted to take a moment in all the mayhem this last month to send a huge heartfelt digital thank you for the incredible blessings!!

I can’t tell you how elated these guys and gals have been to tear through these care packages. I had no idea what to expect when I reached out to your organization and a few other groups, but the love has been amazing, to say the least. Nothing has actually made it to my office before 6-7 hands have made their way through it. There’s been nothing but happy faces all around here.

I wish I could get an action shot, but there are a lot of security measures here on the campus… I’m definitely grateful for everything you all have done for us out here! Respectfully, Sam

We received your care packages and can’t thank you enough. The Keurig, K-cups, Body Armor drinks, and Fig bars are fantastic.
You all made our day! Matt
