A Thank You from a soldier
We received the following thank you from a soldier who received one of our care packages --

Ladies,

   Thank you so much for your care package.  We are in such a remote location that daily supplies and toiletries are few and far between.  Fortunately, well wishes and prayers are not.

   Words can't express how much even the slightest gesture means to each and every soldier as we spend these months away from our families.  They constantly remind me of the loved ones we are away from and over here to protect.

   Thank you again for your gift.  Take care. God bless.

                                               Sincerely,

                                               SSG Joshua Wicker
