Wow!! The kindness and thoughtfulness of all of our supporters back home has nothing short of amazing. Your support to us with cookies, candies, newspapers, magazines, letters, cards, toiletries, blankets has been fantastic. Please keep them coming.
Thank you to everyone for your support. Your packages are very much appreciated. I try to give them to someone different each time I receive one. A special thanks goes to:
Bob & Riva (thanks for the Veteran's Day card and your continuous boxes of goodies)
Military Wives & Mothers Network (Thanks for the Christmas cards)
Members from the Grace Baptist Church (Herb & Shirley thanks for the blanket)
Q100.5 & Murdock Elementary School (the kid's letters were a hit around here)
I apologize if I missed anyone.
I do have a special request. With the Christmas season approaching, we'd like to decorate the spaces with Christmas decorations. So if you have any extra Christmas cards, signs, lights, ornaments, etc please send them our way. Although we are away from our nuclear families we will soon bring in Christmas and the New Year with our new family out here. And as always some of the normal requested items are:
-Phone cards
-Toothpaste & toothbrushes
-Soap & shampoo
-Foot powder
-Handiwipes & hand sanitizers
-Snacks (cookies, chips, trail mix, peanuts, cashews)
-Various flavors of "Crystal Light" or similar drink (single packets)
-Gum & candy
-Books & magazines
-DVD's
Once again, a sincere thank you for your support! May God bless each and every one of you during this holiday season and beyond.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of the wonderful people who have sent packages. I am truly amazed at the response received. Our service member's morale has been boosted and it is due to all of your kind hearts and efforts.
Our troops love the support they have received and it is shown by the big smile on their faces when they find out that people back home are thinking of them. Some of them have been here for over four months and have not received any mail.
Thanks again for all of your support.

We are joint unit with dedicated Air Force, Army, Marine, and Navy men and women. These great Americans come from all over the US: New York, Florida, Texas, Washington, California, and even Alaska (just to name a few states).
We live in tents and have 220V power supplied in our spaces. It is very hot here but we have air conditioning in most spaces. We have access to a small PX but they quickly run out of daily items.
Special request items that will improve morale and help our folks deal with the loneliness are the following:
- Phone cards are always needed
- DVD's are a big hit
- Top Ten Music CD's
- Apple iTunes gift cards (many of our folks have access to computers where they can download music onto their iPods)
- Books and Magazines
- Various flavors of "Crystal Light" single packets (We have bottled water and encourage everyone to hydrate due to the heat)
- Snacks (no chocolate please)
- Handiwipes and Hand Sanitizers
- Toothpaste & Toothbrushes
- Foot powder
- Ivory soap
- Laundry detergent (Liquid type)
We appreciate all of the support that the American citizens have shown us.
God Bless.
