Land of the Free . . . Home of the Brave!
As one of the recipients of the Independence
Day well wishes and treat bags from the
"Proud Americans in the State of
Washington", please accept my gratitude.
It is always nice to receive mail when
deployed so far away from home, and is
particularly refreshing to receive such a
patriotic note of thanks and well wishes.
Thank you.
Very Respectfully,

Just a note to say thank you for your
support to us in Iraq. I am a reservist from
North Carolina on my second tour here.
I return home in less than 170 days.
Please pass along my thanks and may God
bless you all.

Dear Operation Support Our Troops,
I just wanted to write and express our
thanks for your generosity. We all enjoyed
the 4th of July Birthday Bags you sent this
week. It's great to have your support and
particularly nice receiving these gifts from
folks in our own community. We are all
stationed at Fort Lewis and live in Western
Washington.
Thanks again for thinking of us.

Thank you very much for your 4th of July
gift bags. Coincidentally, mine found me on
my birthday (July 10th), so it was extra
special. Thanks too, for keeping us in your
thoughts while we are over here away from
our homes and families. It means so much to
know that others are thinking of us.
Respectfully,

I just received a goodie bag for the Fourth
of July from your organization and I just
wanted to thank you. It was like Christmas
around here.
We truly appreciate your thoughts, prayers
and gifts.

I wanted to let you know that my brother in
law, Pat and his unit received their box on
Saturday the 3rd. Pat said he had never seen
so many grown men so happy to play with
frezbies!
Thank you again so much for your
thoughtfulness.

To the wonderful people at Operation Support
Our Troops,
I want to send my sincere thanks to the men
and women involved with Operation Support
Our Troops. I can only imagine the amount of
hours and money dedicated volunteers
must have put in to provide such a wonderful
4th of July care package. I am truly
grateful!
Receiving your package was like Christmas in
June here in the desert. This is my
4th deployment since 2000 and I can't tell
you what it means to receive one of these
packages that contain the large amounts of
love. It is a HUGE morale booster!
I went to your website and was amazed at how
well organized your team is. All I can
say is you guys and gals rock! We appreciate
all the time, money and love that is put
into each one of these treasure chests you
send out.
God Bless each and every one of you in the
great state of Washington--THANK YOU from
the bottom of my heart!

I wanted to write and thank you for the care
package that you sent here to Camp Victory,
Iraq. All of the goodies packed inside were
handed out to the Army, Marine, and Air
Force people that work here on base. We
appreciate everything you do for us and we
definitely appreciate your thoughts and
prayers.
Have a nice weekend,

Greetings from Baghdad!
I walked in to work this morning and was
immediately greeted by the fire of several
of your squirt guns. I get the feeling that
will be a common occurrence now, but no one
seems to mind given our weather here -- 114
today and 118 tomorrow. Needless to say,
your care packages were very well received
by the I Corps Special Troop Battalion's C
Company.
Thanks!

To those who put the effort forward in
packaging and sending, and those who helped
gather the gifts, I want to extend my
heartfelt thanks for the Fourth of July
goodies you sent us as part of your
Operation Support
Our Troops.
I am sure you do not receive a lot of thanks
for what you have done. We do appreciate
your prayers and thoughts in this time away
from home and families.
So may this be a small token of our
appreciation and love for you and our
country and what you are doing for us.
Sincerely
Joseph P. LeBlanc

Dear Sir, I just wanted to say thank you
very much for the care packages that you
shipped to me for my Soldiers here in
Charlie Company MNC-I, it is greatly
appreciated! I have a lot of young Soldiers
on their 1st tour and it can be very
difficult for them and their Families. When
they know that people across America have
not forgotten about them it boost their
morale and motivation to levels that you
cannot put into words. Please accept our
many thanks and stay safe this 4th of July.
