Thank You Thank You Thank You!
There is so much that comes to mind when I think of all the support we have received and all of the love we’ve been shown. We have been absolutely blown away by the countless words of encouragement and numerous items sent our way. Our battalion’s morale has been increased because of your selflessness, your heart for Soldiers, and your heart for our country. You did things you didn’t have to do to grant us access to things we didn’t have. For all you have done I offer our sincerest thank you and my personal commitment to complete the task that lies ahead.
You are a most needed blessing and an answered prayer for us and I pray God’s continued Grace, Mercy, Favor, Peace, Protection, Love, and Success to you. From the Soldiers of 3-29 FA and the Unit Ministry Team, thank you very, very much.

We received the care packages today! Everyone was so excited to get all the goodies that you all sent. Thank you so much for the support, it’s great to know that there are folks back home who are kind enough to do something like this for us. We didn’t expect so many items so we went ahead and distributed them to a few other units near us and they thank you as well. We really can’t thank you all enough, these simple things really give meaning to the work we do out here everyday, not just for the temporary gratification of getting something you needed, but also knowing that we are in your thoughts and prayers. Kindness is contagious and your organization is an inspiration. Please keep up the awesome work! – Karl
