Location: CTX | No, THANK YOU!! I know from experience what it means to be away during the holidays.
I know these boxes are not from his family, but I hope they will bring a smile to his face to know there are more people out there thinking of him and his buddies. It sure was the highlight of our week when we received mail.
I also know that not every one is on the position to send boxes but if you are sending Christmas cards maybe you can add one to your list and send one to a soldier away from home.  |

You're wonderful too! I can picture him and his buddies sitting back for a quick break eating your cookies and opening their other presents. God bless them for their service and bless you ladies for making their time away from their families just a little brighter  |

?Special Operations Forces Soldier who is getting ready to deploy I "get" the stress and hardship military families feel. There are so many great folks here that warm hearts daily. This is just outstanding and I too will get a box off.

Thank you - I believe he is going to Afghanistan or Iraq. He deploys with a team of Special Operators and we don't always know what is going and that is fine with me...I really don't want to know. :)

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | My BIGGEST apologies to all you guys!!! I literally never get on an actual computer for personal reasons anymore. I have a laptop for work and a Mac for personal use. I spend all my computer time on my work laptop so don't browse the net.
Between a very busy work schedule, four dogs, six horses, farm chores, and my wood working projects, I get way too busy.
My husband and his unit did recieve the packages and there were blown away!!! And very very grateful. As pretty as those cookies were, they went down fast!! It definitely made a lot of guys and gals smile over there! I told him to expect a box or two, but didn't tell him more then that. So he was shocked when boxes started showing up left and right!!! I had mailed him two, my father mailed him one, and he got SEVERAL from you guys.
Thank you again!!! We both very much appreciate it!!!! |
