Bagdad, May 5, 2018 - Thank you so much for your kind letter and amazing K-9 Warrior care package! The dogs will sure be happy with these goodies! I will disperse to the special forces dogs on the base in Baghdad and veterinarians who travel to other bases to treat special forces dogs in remote places. Receiving mail is always a morale booster on this 9 month deployment.
Indian Ocean, Diego Garcia April 3, 2018 - The high cost of calling home and internet use here becomes substantial making it harder to keep in touch with my wife and kids back home. Anything is much appreciated

We are 5 soldiers to a plywood room and have to pay $60 a month for phone home satellite internet. It is only a few gigs a month and sadly the remaining data doesn’t roll over to the next month. If there was any way we could get some help on this is would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping out. CPL Marcos ------

Incirlik AB, Turkey, October 15, 2017: Good Morning, I just wanted to know we received the boxes yesterday, and we appreciate the pens, magazines, notebooks and playing cards. It's the little things that make deployment time go by faster. I have attached a couple pictures of some of my unit here.

Persian Gulf, September 8, 2017: I received the care package a few days ago and wanted you and your volunteers to know how excited and happy it made me. It's just so nice to hear my name during mail call, and being able to know that strangers care so much to support us out here. I loved all the snacks, letters, personal items, and other nice things that we just can't get here out on the ship. It really makes me feel like a piece of home is with me during this long deployment.
Kuwait, July 28, 2017: Support Our Troops Team and Janet, I wanted to let you know that we've received tremendous support from your team in the form of care packages over the last several weeks. We feel truly blessed here. Your efforts have made an impact on each and every one of our team members, Military and Civilian, and it has brought a touch of home to them.
On behalf of our team, a huge thank you and we can't say enough how much it means to us. All the packages made it here safely and everything is being put to good use! We love it. We also really enjoyed all the personal notes that are within the packages and are writing back to those who wrote/crafted them. Please find attached a few photos of our team and I will also upload them to the Support Our Troops link! Once we get a printed version of the photos, we will mail your way with a token to express our sincere thanks.
V/R, Jeffrey -----, Capt, USAF (JSSD-K)
