Please email us with your soldiers information. We will pass their names onto organizations that are looking to send more care packages.

Dear Nancy,
Just wanted to drop you an encouraging note that I think you may pass on if you would like.
This letter was written to my mother in law recently.

Dear Mrs. B,

Thank you so much for the package. I was especially surprised to see the DVD, which is a movie that I enjoyed from the first time I saw it. You made a good selection with the movie. Now with the cd's, I don't usually listen to country, but, I will listen to the cd's you sent me. When I have listened to country before, it was something from Garth Brooks and I enjoyed it. I am sure I will enjoy the ones you have sent me. I enjoy listening to R & B, Rap (HIP HOP), and jazz. I've recently discovered an amazing enjoyment for some romance novels. It helps give me a break from reality for a moment.

I am married. I am 28 years old. I have 2 children. My son is 7 and my daughter is 3. If I was in Germany now I would be reading to my chilegre or in the park playing with them trying to tire them out. I am originally from Chicago. I have come to realize that if it weren't for the wonderfully nice people like you and our families, I would probably be depressed being away from my family. I don't think I am the only one. So, from the soldiers of the 18th MP Brigade, I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my for all your support.

All the letters and packages from the citizens of Michigan have really meant a lot to us. I watch the expressions on some of the other soldiers' faces in my unit and realize that I am not the only one who gets a smile on their face when opening letters and/or packages from you all. I am glad to have been adopted by you all. Once again thank you for all your support.

Sincerely,

M.R.
