Note for Ryan – 5 Sept

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:

“Ryan,
I am Gabrielle from (unit redacted) and we are deployed with the USS Harry S. Truman. On behalf of my junior sailors and myself I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to think about those who are away from their families and send goodies. My favorite thing was the note, which is proudly hanging on the wall in our office! This kind gesture really made the day for my people. They are my kids out here, so seeing smiles on their faces puts a smile on mine.!!

Also, as a proud New Yorker, I appreciate the sacrifice your dad made not just for our country but for the state of New York. And I also want to thank you and your mom for the sacrifices you both have made. BIG THANK YOU from the crew!

Very Respectfully, Gabrielle”

“Ryan,
Thank you for the wonderful gift boxes you surprised us with. Your touching letter brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad is a hero to so many. My father passed away this year and I always feel that he is by my side. I hope you feel the same way, because whether or not you feel your father’s presence, I promise you, he is there with you in all that you do.

My boys are named Rudie and Beau. They are very special to me just as you are very special to your dad. They’re only 4 and 10 months old, but they are amazing little guys. Thank you for your story. I will always cherish my time with my sons. Have a great day! All the best young man, Ronnie”

FROM the FRONT – Happiness


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
