I would just like to thank each and every one of you who show support day in and day out. It's really nice to hear from all of you. Everytime I deploy and I return, as I walk through the airport, I get thanks and handshakes from complete strangers. It brings a tear to my eye, knowing that people who I don't know would thank me for just doing my job. ~~Rock ------, SrA, USAF, Clovis, N.M.
I would like to say thank you very much for all your support and praise. If it wasn't for the GREAT citizens of the great state of Oklahoma, I wouldn't know what I would do. Keep the home fires burning. ~~SGT ------ ARMY, Mounds, Okla.
My Soldiers and I just recieved your 'Operation Gratitude' care packages. I can't explain how grateful we all are and how it changed our Christmas. We were in the middle of moving from one camp to another. We arrived here on Dec. 22 and had absolutley no communications during Christmas day to call back home. but on Christmas Eve, my soldiers received your care packages and they all had a smile from ear to ear. I could see that the packages made their Christmas complete. The items you pack in there are above and beyond. To all of you at Operation Gratitude on behalf of my unit, I want to Thank You for everything you do for us. You keep us going and give us the reason and purpose of why we are here: to fight for the freedom of great Americans like all of you at Operation Gratitude. ~~Sergeant First Class J.M.
I would first like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to serve this great country. I would like to thank my parents Jeff and Lucy Richards from Dalton, OH. I would like to thank my wife and children in California. I would finally like to thank all of you who care and take time out of your busy schedule to support our troops and sailors especially during the holiday period as we spend it away from our loved ones. Please take time to think about us out here on the waters. ~~Michael Jeffrey ------ Operation Specialist Chief, US Navy, Cleveland
