"TROOPS SEND THEIR WORDS OF THANKS."

I just wanted to send you a sincere thank you for the packages that were sent from AdoptaPlatoon and your supporters. My troops and I enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the packages. It is nice to have the support from home. This is my second tour to Iraq. For some of my troops it is there first tour over here. It is nice to have a packages waiting for you after a mission. My troops and I want to thank you again for the package, we enjoyed it very much. My soldiers wanted me > to express their appreciation; it was obvious there was much time, thought, consideration, support and love packed into each box. Especially heart-warming were the cards and letters you included expressing your support for our service here in Iraq. You all have > touched our hearts and made the New Year more enjoyable with care packages filled goodies, bringing a satisfying smile! Rest assured your message of support has been received by many and has certainly inspired positive influence on our platoon morale. Again, please pass on our sincerest appreciation to everyone involved with you and your organization and to the great citizens of the United States of America supporting our Armed Services. God bless you all

Again, I just want to say thanks for all your support of the troops this
pass year.... I have just met my replacements, and I told them about how
much support and encouragement you were for all of us and they would love to
join up as well. The care packages and letters of encouragement were just
what we needed to keep us connected to home....
Thanks again! Miracles and Blessings are made by average people doing
something nice for others.... Thanks for being our Miracle and Blessing
....And if you are ever in Germany, Heidelberg look up Alpha Company 302 at
Patton Barracks and we will definitely return all the acts of
kindness.......

Volunteer Support Mother Elizabeth Jespersen received a beautiful letter of
grateful thanks from U.S. Marines deployed to Iraq. Elizabeth states, "Our
family wishes for the New Year would be that families everywhere would be
united in the face of all the turmoil in the world today. I wanted to share
with you a letter we received today in response to one of the two units we
sent packages to for the holidays.  It seems such a small thing to give of
ourselves when you read this letter and realize that our soldiers are doing
without what are basic everyday items we don't even think about in our day
to day activities.  Thank you again for all you do to help us help support
our soldiers everywhere.   Happy New Year!! Elizabeth Jespersen
