We did not adopt this unit for 4th of July but wanted everyone to see the impact our efforts have on even those Troops who have not been adopted – not to worry we have contacted Ed to get information to adopt his unit for Christmas!

My name is Ed Walsh, I am an active duty Marine deployed to Iraq and I recently came across some of the great gift bags you had made for deployed personnel at the mail shack they have set up for us. While I didn't get any of the bags, I did get your address and I just wanted to thank you for all your support. It's great folks like you that make it all worth it.  While you may not hear from all the servicemembers receiving your care packages, I would like to speak for all of them and say thank you. It really means a lot.  Please forward this to the other great people of your organization. Take care and God Bless.
