“Good afternoon from Iraq, I am 1SG XX of Delta Company 3-10 General Support Aviation Battalion Ft. Drum, New York.
We received multiple boxes for our Soldier’s, NCOs, and Officers. We wanted to send a heart felt thank you for everything. Our Soldiers really enjoyed the packages as about eighty percent of our formation has never deployed and to know they are genuinely thought about everyday really put a smile on all their faces. Again, thank you for everything, we will be back home soon enough. V/R 1SG Jeremy TF Phoenix AAAB, Iraq”
“Dear Desert Angels Team,
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the incredible care packages you sent our way. As an A-10 aircraft mechanic unit deployed in the Middle East, we work tirelessly to keep our aircraft in top shape, ensuring they’re ready to support our mission of maintaining peace and combating the remnants of ISIS.
You’re thoughtful inclusion of snacks and other goodies is deeply appreciated. Every item will be enjoyed and put to good use, providing us with a much-needed boost during our deployment. The support and care you provide mean more to us than words can express. Your packages not only bring us comfort but also remind us of the incredible support we have back home. Thank you once again for your generosity and for keeping us in your thoughts. It makes a world of difference to us!”
“I am currently deployed in Syria. I have received a number of care packages during my time on this deployment. I am reaching out because you, or your organization, has graciously taken the time to send us one, or multiple care packages.
First, I want you to know that we greatly appreciate your support. The items you sent were shared with all soldiers deployed on the base where I am stationed. These little things can have a great impact on the morale of a unit, they bring comfort of home and realization that we are supported by people such as yourselves. I cannot thank you enough for your support. It is people like you that make doing this job all worth it. Through your caring and actions, you help show time, and time again, why America is the greatest country in the world. I hope you will continue to show support for future units as they replace us and others around the world.”
