"The care package you sent brought tears to my eyes. Not only did it have wonderful goodies, but it had the spirit of America in it. It had pride and hope in it. It gave me a reason to be here and a motivation to help me carry on with my head held up high. "Thank you" just doesn't seem to justify what I am feeling. So, please know that you gave a Soldier, a mother, a teacher and an American a smile and a sense of pride that I needed.
God bless America and God bless you,
1LT M.C." |

| "Thank you for sending the boxes of goodies. For some in my unit this is the only mail they receive and it really makes their day to feel that someone out there is thinking about them. We are thankful for all of the Operation Gratitude supporters who took some time to send us these boxes. J.K." |
"Thank you for all the help and generosity you have given me and my Soldiers. I especially appreciate the time and effort y'all have put into arranging the Operation Gratitude care packages for the Soldiers all over the world. I have no one to send me anything, but when I received the package it made me feel like someone out there cared. I know I'm not the only Soldier in this situation. So, I want to take the time to say thank you on their behalf as well too. Again, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your generosity. Best regards, SFC G.S."
