Thank you * Thank you * Thank you for bringing in our first round of goods for our troops!<\/a>  We had enough to supply three different units.  And here are their stories…<\/p>\n

This is to let everyone know that we are still here and doing good.
\nThere have been no problems at all. We really do appreciate all the
\nsupport the citizens show for what we do. Just being able to hear and
\nsee things coming from those of you back home is a daily reflection <\/span>of
\nthe kind of support we as soldiers receive from back home. Please
\ncontinue to send the items that are normally sent such as personal hygiene items, puzzle books, DVD's documentary videos, books, snacks and <\/span>anything else that you may desire. We want to again thank everyone
\nfor the support, packages, and letters that are being sent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you and God Bless you all<\/span><\/p>\n

We are a group that have been here in Afghanistan <\/span>for about 2 months now. We do not have a great selection of
\nthings available to us, like back at home. We have recently moved from
\none side of camp to another. There has been numerous hours spent on
\nbuilding and cleaning up the place and we are always constantly
\nsupporting other in various areas around Afghanistan. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The guys and
\ngirls work extremely hard and long hours and would greatly appreciate
\nany packages that they receive. Below is a list of somethings that we
\nare requesting baby wipes we go through these all the time since there is always a shortage of toilet paper<\/span> -cocoa butter the place is very dry and we found that this is the only thing that works for us -snacks and candy, we all would love to have a taste of home so any all American snacks are appreciated -individual laundry detergent packages -body washes -canned or instant foods -crystal light  -magazines <\/span>for the guys and girls since we all like
\nto read -and any personal hygiene items items that someone would use daily.
<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

We appreciate all the support and prayers from everyone, and we are all looking forward to our safe return. <\/span><\/p>\n
