I want to tell you THANK YOU very much for the Christmas package. I can't express how wonderful it made me feel. I am away from my children and family for the first time in my life for the holidays, so having a little bit of love around the holidays was definitely worth it. I believe this is my last care package as I leave next month. I have enjoyed getting the care packages and I tell MSG Frank how wonderful of a job you all do every time I get one. I am happy that he suggested we go through you all, your packages have actually been the only ones I have gotten here as well. So keep up the good work and know that all of us over here that get packages from you all appreciate it very much.

I received your amazing care package through Jaimie today, and all I can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!! Let me tell you a little about myself, I grew up in St. Louis, MO (yes still a Cardinals and Blues fan). After college I moved to Palatine, IL, met a great woman named Melissa, fell in love, and got married. 6 years ago I was unhappy with my professional life and heard the call to serve. I became a Military Police officer (Master-at-Arms) for the United States Navy and eventually worked my way up to earning the chance to attend MWD (Military Working Dog) School. I graduated from this school in August of 2006 and have never looked back. I served a tour of duty in Iraq with my first "partner" Britta in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (2008-2009). I am currently stationed at Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy were I was assigned my current "partner" Jacky. Jacky is a three year old Belgium Malinois who is a trained attack dog and explosive sniffer. Currently we are deployed in southern Afghanistan. I am stationed with 9 other men and women representing the: Air force, Army, and Navy (the "Dirty South Bastards"...long story HAHA). The ten of us live, work, train, and conduct missions with each other 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until its time to go home. We all wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday Season. Enclosed is a picture of Jacky and I and a group shot of us (some were out on mission when the group photo was taken). Again thank you all and god bless.
Very respectfully,
MA2 Bryce USN
