Being a SrA in the AF currently serving in Kunsan AB, Korea, I would just like to personally thank you for bringing this website together. During the holidays, we had to work which helped us get through the days, but we made time each holiday to log on and read the messages left...what an amazing way to lift our spirits. So again, thank you from Kunsan AB! We are definitely proud to serve you! ~~ SrA Jennifer ------
I would like to thank all those who pledge their support to service members and our great country. Your support will never go unnoticed. I would also like to thank all the vets. Your service to our country will always be remembered! ~~SSG, US Army, Hoover, Ala.
Just want to say that all the support that you give is great. It helps a lot to know we have the support of the country we fight for no matter the reason. ~~Robert ------- SGT U.S ARMY, Osawatomie, Kan.
Thanks For all you do! Keep up the good work, because of you it makes the days we are deployed so much easier! Thanks Agian! ~~PV2 ------, US Army, Harnett County, N.C.
I wanted to reply to all the people of Rhode Island who added their heartfelt thoughts and prays to this site. I really do appreciate it. I wish I could thank each and every one of you for it. I have been deployed overseas 10 times and 6 times since 2001. It helps greatly knowing that we have so much love and support from the American People. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! ~~ABF1 Marshall ------- US Navy, Cranston, R.I.
I would just like to tell America, thank you for all of your support and love you give us. All of the care packages, letters and everything, it keeps our heads up and lets us know just who we are fighting for -- all of YOU. It's no wonder why I'd give the ultimate sacrifice to keep our great country free and safe. Everytime I come back from Iraq, I get applause, hand shakes, smiles, cheers, pats on the back and thank yous. It makes me feel good, knowing that I'm doing my part in protecting this great country. Again, Thank You all! Take Care and God Bless! ~~SrA Rock ------, SLC
No need to know my name because I speak for many. I see the looks of my brothers and sisters in arms when their feet are cold or the ground is flat and hard and there are no soft pillows for them to use...as they catch a rare few hours of sleep. I see their tears when they wish for a card from home or a package- and wonder if they are adopted yet on the list that was given to Homefront Hugs. They turn away as I begin to look but I know the pain and I know the joy of receiving a package...and knowing I was not forgotten. I share whatever I can but it is not the same as getting your own and seeing your name on that package. If you find it in your heart to adopt a soldier this holiday season...or buy some socks or travel pillows or a warm blanket for any of us- please know we ALL appreciate it. I know Homefront Hugs sends reminders out for after the season- and is always telling me how awesome their volunteers are...and we agree. Just please remember those still waiting and those still hurting- though they would never admit it. You all are heroes to us- and I wish only this Christmas that every last soldier,airman and Marine who is waiting to be adopted and maybe just for a pair of warm socks and a letter- is not waiting too long. The power of depression and feeling forgotten is heavy and affects our ability to do the best we can-but hell- we'll never admit it. We'll tell you everything is fine...even when our toes are freezin. Please help if you can - and God bless you all - and thank you for keeping us warm and caring even if we forget to tell you. You all are our guardian angels every day we serve. ~~Marine in Iraq
