We receive letters every day from Care Package recipients abroad and at home. Check this page often to read their messages to YOU, the American people, who made their Care Packages possible.

I truly appreciate the love and concern that you’ve shown myself and my unit. Thank you very much for the care package.”

. We are so blessed and thankful to have people who support troops

 We have started to receive our prizes from you guys. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to make these gifts personal. The Soldiers and the NCOs couldn’t be happier and more excited. Often we have people who don’t have loved ones send them anything or just don’t understand how to. Through your dedication and support to those abroad means the world. We are so blessed and thankful to have people who support troops and not necessarily what the war is about but those who are over here not by choice. Thank you guys once again to everyone who made these small tokens to us and making us feel not forgotten.  v/r  SFC B.H.

I am a Case Manager at VVSD’s Temporary Bridge Shelter. You guys dropped off some care packages to our shelter today, and one of our veterans wanted to express his gratitude. Thanks so much for thinking of the homeless veterans at our shelter. We greatly appreciate it!

Tell the kids that I am truly happy for their letters & I am happy to continue serving because of people like you

Good morning , my name is SPC C N currently assigned at Fort Carson in Colorado but deployed in Kuwait . It is approximately 11:38 Am in Kuwait and we received your care packages from Operation Gratitude! Myself and my battles would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being thoughtful and sending us messages from the kids that look up to us . I was not able to do a group picture because we were busy getting work done but I took individual pictures . Tell the kids that I am truly happy for their letters & I am happy to continue serving because of people like you .

 

The bracelets are great, but the notes are even better. They give us the morale and strength to keep us moving

 To the hard working people of Operation Gratitude,

 USS Boxer’s sailors and marines would like to thank you for the paracords. The bracelets are really great for securing our stuff for the rough seas! The bracelets are great, but the notes are even better. They give us the morale and strength to keep us moving. Also, please send my thanks to a ‘Natalia J’.

It was such a wonderful and warm surprise and a great way to spend an evening together

Hello!

 Thank you for the wonderful care package! My name is C, and I’m in the Navy on the USS Boxer currently deployed in the Middle East as part of amedical trauma team. Our job is to take care of injured sailors and Marines in case the worst happens, but fortunately we do mostly day-to-day care to keep our ship full of young men and women happy and healthy. We’ve still got a few months left, and it was the perfect time for a treat from home.   Opening the care packages made for a fantastic bonding evening with my team!We had a great time with each package- the beanie babies were such a blast from the past for those of us who are a little older, some of the notes and messages had us in stitches, and we traded the books all around. With all the starter sets we received, there are plans in place to learn how to play Magic that Gathering (I never thought that would be on my schedule in my mid-30s!) To top it off, I’ll never have a more welcome box of Girl Scout cookies! Thank you for all that you do, it was such a wonderful and warm surprise and a great way to spend an evening together.

 Cheers,

LCDR C.L.

You are doing God’s work

 We are as always very much moved by the time, attention and care you put into your shipment!

We also have to apologize for the lack of photographic evidence! We work in a classified environment and nobody wants to pose outside the tent in the 110+ temps..but I’ll see what I can do!

I can’t communicate the levity and reconnection these type of shipments bring between our formations and the chaplain section. You are doing God’s work.

Thank you so much!

Respectfully,

We have also delivered quite a few packages to some of our remote sites in the desert where they are so desperately needed; not only for moral but for much needed supplies

We have also delivered quite a few packages to some of our remote sites in the desert where they are so desperately needed; not only for moral but for much needed supplies.

We had no idea what was in it and you couldn’t have packed it with better items

Thank you to all the supporters at Operation Gratitude for the delicious and very thoughtful care package that you sent to all us Veterans over here in Florida.

It was such a wonderful surprise – we had no idea what was in it and you couldn’t have packed it with better items. What a treat for an old guy like me (I am 82 and served in the Air Force in the 1950’s during the Korean War).

I am very proud of you Ethan for learning at such a young age the respect and appreciation that we, as Americans, should show to all who are willing to fight for the freedoms our Country was founded on. May God bless you and the United States.
