Your support of Operation Gratitude makes a difference in the lives of our warriors in combat:

 "My father died a little before I turned 2; my mother died when I just turned 15, and now my sister has cancer. Just a month ago, I wondered who I had left that cared for me. I  felt so alone that I cried myself to sleep. I asked God that day to prove to me that I should go on and not quit. It took the big guy a month to answer, but I knew in my heart that your package was His answer. To prove to me that someone out in the world that doesn't even know me, does care.  And for that I thank you even more. I think I can go on to the end now instead of giving up. Thank you and I appreciate everything you do."  M.N.
 
With the President's order of an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, please help us touch the lives of as many heroes as possible.  We have the donated snacks, DVDs, CDs, hand-made scarves, Beanie Babies/Webkinz, skin lotion, foot-care ointment, candy, Girl Scout cookies and 50 other items and letters to send, and the volunteers are ready and able to assemble the packages. 
 
Now we just need your generous donation to pay the shipping expenses of $11 per package.
 
SGT R.B."I am simply amazed that you folks give of your time and  money to make this all happen. The hand written letter from Lucy, who is 7 years old, made me weep. I am 6 ft 2in and 220 lbs of solid professional soldier. A small letter from a child laid me out. I guess I miss my children more than I thought. I don't have a big enough vocabulary to adequately convey my deep appreciation for what you do.  This soldier  knows that freedom is not free, it looks as if you all know it too. God Bless  you all."  SGT R.B.
 
 During this Holiday Season, please remember our men and women in uniform who ensure we can celebrate at home in peace and security.
 
$11 will send a care package filled with your respect and appreciation. 
 
Every donated dollar is used to pay shipping expenses.  Operation Gratitude does not pay for employee salaries or benefits, and does not spend money on advertising, mass mailings or fancy fundraisers.  Even all the wonderful and thoughtful items in our care packages are donated by generous and patriotic Corporations, civic groups and individuals.   
 
Your hard-earned dollars will go exactly where you intend them to go: To send a bountiful care package filled with your holiday wishes personally addressed to a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine in a dangerous and too often deadly combat zone.
