Wow, if there’s one thing you can always count on the ****l’s for is it’s CONNECTIONS… Bob, I’m very happy to take you up on the offer. That would help morale while we’re running 24/7 ops.
I like the cowboy night in particular, too. After all, we are a cavalry unit and even today when they were awarding the combat infantry badges and a couple of combat medical badges there were guys wearing our signature stetson hats that make up part of our dress uniform.

Bob,
Hey, hope this finds you doing well. I got the box that your group sent out today and it put a smile on a lot of the troops faces when I shared some of the home made cookies that were sent in the box and the toothbrushes and holders.

Dear Bob,
How have you been doing? It’s getting warmer toward April.

Bob,
I got three boxes over the last two days. Yesterday, I got the box with the paper bags and goodies in it. I kept the popcorn for myself and shared everything else. I couldn’t help it, I am a popcorn addict!
Today, I got two boxes, one of which contained the print rolling supplies and more goodies.

Good morning bob
Life has been crazy here the last few days. I got another care package from you the end of last week and every one loved it.

Dear Bob,
I work at Keystone Wood Specialties so I know you although you
don’t know me. When my son was in Iraq ,he was a thankful recipient of
“the care packages from Florida”.

Thank you for all the packages. I’ve enjoyed their contents and really enjoyed passing out the contents to my fellow soldiers. Funny that no one wants to take candy and chocolate from you, but when the candy is left out it always disappears. I received two big boxes of hospital scrubs. Really enjoyed the fashion show. Couldn’t get any of our wounded soldiers to wear the small sizes or the pastel colored scrubs. I did however get one of our male ER nurses to show off a nice lime green ensemble.

I put the humidor that you gave us in the shop for all of my guys to share. I have had so many comments about it that it gave me an idea.

Mr. Williams,
1LT B received the care package from you and your colleagues today. Even though we have only been in theater for less than a month, it was a big morale booster.

Just wanted to let you know thank you for the second box of goodies we
received today.

Thanks much Bob. I just received a few boxes today and briefed all of our newcomers about the great things you do for us. I also wanted you to know I’m sharing your gifts with all troops who transit through here on their way to Afghanistan and with our Host Nation employees who work on base.
