I want to thank you again for sending the care package! It was a great suprise and heart felt. My platoon and I are greatful for all the support that the fine Americans have shown us while we have been deployed! This is the driving force that keeps us going on day by day.
Please extend out thanks to all that were involved! We all hope that you had a great Christmas and looking foward to a great New Year.
