We recently got this lovely email from one of the many Red Cross stations for our Troops down range.  These gifts you support make a difference:

” Greetings!
I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for your kind gift of care items for the men and women of the US Armed Forces. Our team of volunteers at the American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces had the privilege of helping to receive and distribute your wonderful donation. These care items will make a great difference in the lives of service members living and serving far from home and country. Please accept my profound gratitude on their behalf.
V/r, Natalie”
