I wanted to send along a copy of the e-mail we
received form our Navy guy Tim...he is leaving for
home but his appreciation and the wonderful
communications we have shared has been a blessing on
both ends
"Cynthia,
Thanks again for you and you family’s consistent
support while being deployed. The box of baked goods
and candy arrived today. As always, I appreciate the
care package and kind words from you and your
family. You are also always in my thoughts and
prayers and I am gracious and lucky to have you
adopt me during this time.
I will be returning back home in about a month and
wanted you to know that there is no need for you to
send me care packages. However I have appreciated
each one that you’d sent and was always looking
forward to them. I know shipping can be very
expensive. I will miss them.
Someday when I look back on my career, I will
realize that my sacrifices were worthwhile because I
served my country for people like you.
God bless
-Tim
I spent 18 long months there in Iraq and I am so glad to be
back in the USA again. I returned back to the USA on 7 July
2008. God bless you and your organization for everything you
did for me and my soldiers while I was there.

Thank you very much
for your support, a front line would be nothing without
the support from the rear, so your service is by no
means any less important than mine is!

Comments Here: I'm a Chuck Norris Fan. I like Kentucky
wildcat Basketball and a Cincinnati Reds fan. I have a
wife and 8 children and two grandchildren who pray for
me all the time. I love listening to Christian music
and I love reading Christian mystery novels. It is very
hot here right now and I miss my wife and family. This
is my 2nd deployment over here too. I like getting
letters from people back home too. I like seeing people
enjoying their freedoms back home. Also I ask that you
go vote and try to make a difference for our country.
Thank you for supporting us.

Here: Dear supporters, I was told about this site from a
fellow soldier, and I just wanna say thank you for what
you all do back home to let us know that some people
still have us in their hearts and minds. Though we may
not want to be in the locations that we are currently
in, best believe we are proud to serve our country.
SPC C.
GOD BLESS THE USA!!

Hello, I am a Marine and I am very thankful for
organizations such as yours. I am writing to you on
behalf of my squad. There are 15 of us. This is our
second deployment and we are excited and a bit
anxious all at the same time.
I can
tell you from experience that the cards/letters/care
packages that my platoon and I received last
deployment made all the difference in the world. It
seems that the arrival of the cards/letters/packages
was always perfect. They seemed to show up on days
that we were down and our moral was a bit low. Just
knowing that someone was thinking of us made all the
difference. It allowed us to go back out and give it
all that we had.

I have posted your website
address in our unit and briefed my soldiers to
personally request your organization if they want to
receive care packages. I have also told them to be
specific on their request.
Thank you once again for
all you do for our war fighters. Your actions really do
made a positive impact to the morale of our unit.

Comments Here: anything that is send to me will be
great....not looking for nothing in particular...i
just want to be part of this program...if i get
adopted i would be very grateful...i would be very
thankful to who ever adopts me...my battle buddy has
a great relationship with his adopter....I've seen
it helps in some way,it makes it a better day when
you get a package out here..i guess knowing that
somebody you don't know,cares and has not forgotten
that you are here makes you fell good......and to
all of you that make this possible for us, everybody
at adoptaussoldier.org i just want to say
thanks,you guys really make a difference.
Comments Here: I am 28 and from Cincinnati, OH. I
have a two year old son and a little girl on the
way. I like anything that reminds me of home and
lots of coffee. Small items to give to the Iraqi
children are also nice gifts, i.e. pens, markers,
crayons or small bulk candy. I appreciate your
support and any bulk items will be shared amoung the
soldiers or Iraqi children. Organizations such as
these really give soldiers something to look forward
to when they come back from patrols. It's almost
like christmas every few days as all of the sodliers
share their gifts. Thank you for your support,
generosity and patriatism. It is good to know that
after 5 years of fighting their are still people
that are extremely supportive of the troops.

Comments Here: I am actually requesting
support for myself and a buddy. He and I both never get any
mail or e-mail from home, so we thought it would be nice to
have someone to correspond with.
