Thank You From An Army Chaplain

Every donation makes a difference.  We’re so thankful everyone was okay.

“Wendy,

Wow, we were all blown away with all the packages you sent!  Thank you so much.  As you might have seen in the news this morning, rockets were fired.  We are all ok.

If you have more packages, we would welcome them in August.  Thank you again!

Make it a great day!

James”

Kind words from troops

Heartfelt Thanks

August 2016
Sir,

Rec’vd 2 packages yesterday from Operation American Soldier. Because of your generosity and the work done by that organization, I was able to present a box each to some deserving Soldiers, who have not received any mail in the almost 2 months we have been here.

One of them, a 19-old PFC on his very first deployment, was almost able to get the words “thank you” out before his eyes welled up. I nearly shed a tear myself when he was out of the office.

The other, a 23-year old SP4, was so selfless when he received it that he immediately told me he didn’t deserve it, and he had not done anything special.

Each one of the Soldiers was hand-selected by their First Sergeants.

Please pass my sincerest appreciation to everyone responsible for helping.

Warmest
Chris

Mr. Rocca,
I am GM2 Muckle. I am a sailor on board the USS McFaul. The ship just recently received a care package from Operation American Soldier and was told that if we wanted to thank those responsible for such a kind act, to contact you. So I send my dearest thanks! Not just form myself but from the entire crew on board this mighty warship. Its tough being away from our homes and loved ones for so long. But certain, simple gestures make this life easier and well worth it. the gratitude put into a care package is top of the list. Knowing that someone at home is thinking of us out here, hoping for our safety and well-being. Every gesture makes our jobs and duties seem so much sweeter, knowing were out to protect the very people that think of us so often at home. So again, thank you for your amazing gratitude and thank you for all the prayers and wishes. We are extremely grateful.
