Operation Jersey Cares,

 

I just received two large care packages and am deeply grateful.  I was not expecting them at all.  I shared them with my shop of 6 Soldiers (and even the Air Force guys next door).  The unanimous comments were, “These are the best care packages we’ve gotten!”  They were truly filled with great things for deployed Soldiers (and Airmen).

It is always nice to get mail, and care packages always brighten the Soldiers’ day.  They are a big morale booster!  We appreciate all your efforts, time, and money in getting the packages out to the troops.  It is a nice feeling knowing the American people are behind us.  Many Soldiers before us were never thanked or given the proper, “Welcome Home”.  We are lucky to have supporters such as the Operation Jersey Cares program.

On behalf of my shop:  Thanks again and we wish you the best back home.  We’ll be back soon…

Hello!

My name is Keith and I am currently stationed in Kandahar Afghanistan.

Today we received some great letters from your organization. I just

wanted to take a moment and say thank you and to tell all the ones who

wrote us how much it means. I would like to especially thank Girl Scout

Troop 78, Julianne and Victoria.

I am not sure how I can get a hold of these people to say thanks and

answer their questions, but for Juilianne:

That is great that you are a Giants fan, you must have had a lot of fun

watching them win the super bowl again last year, that was a pretty

great game. We were able to watch it in Afghanistan, even though we had

to get up real early to watch it live! I am from Chicago, so I grew up

watching and liking the Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox! Blue is

a great color, that is my wife’s and son’s (he’s three) favorite color

as well. Dark Green is my Favorite color. Thank you so much for your

letter, and I was very impressed by your handwriting, it is perfect! It

means a lot that you took time out of your busy day to say hello to us,

it really means more than you will ever know!

Thank you all again for what you do and it is very much appreciated by

all of us over here!

Thank you for the care package you sent my fellow Soldier’s and myself! We greatly appreciate your support and care! We were very excited to get your package yesterday! We don’t get a lot of mail at our base so it’s always like Christmas morning when we do get it!!! Thank you again!

Dear Operation Jersey Cares,

First and foremost, I would like to convey my deepest thanks for the package your organization sent. I am currently stationed on COP Baraki Barak, a small outpost in a… “not so friendly” part of Afghanistan. Our COP doesn’t have a PX or anything like that to get toiletries, snacks, or other items of necessity or luxury. The Soldiers here rely heavily on packages sent from home to fill those needs. Your generosity was much more than I could ever need for a while, so I split up the care package among the other members of my platoon. They were very thankful for everything that was sent. This Jersey boy will always be grateful for the magnanimous people at your organization.

Thanks again,

SSG Brindle, Christopher

Ms. Van Liere, Mr. Cunningham, and the good people of Operation Jersey

Cares,

Just wanted to send a note of thanks for your recent packages which

arrived at our little compound outside of Kandahar City.  Our Soldiers

greatly appreciate your support, especially given our relative isolation

from the bigger bases and our unique mission of living side-by-side with

Afghan forces.

The notes and gifts from home go a long way to take my Soldiers’

minds from the events around us and give them some respite from the long

hours and heat of the summer.  We know it takes a special effort to show

this kind of support to Soldiers deployed into harm’s way, and the work

that you do is important and gratefully received.

Thank you for all that you do.

Best regards,

Matt McKinley

Operation Jersey Cares,

Thank you so much for the all the care packages that your organization has been sending.  They really have hit the spot with all my Soldiers, especially the ones that don’t receive much in the mail.  Nothing like getting a huge package when not expecting it.  Things have been rough over here lately but we will be back home by the end of the year.  This is my 5th deployment and I have always counted on Operation Jersey Cares to bring smiles to the faces of hard working Soldiers.  Once again thank you for the generous packages and all the support that you have provided us.

Sincerely,

SFC Coe, David
