My son came home from Iraq Easter Sunday…the best gift a mother could have! He’s a Marine…and the job isn’t done…until all come home. He never got a care package other than what we sent to his troop. The Best gift his troop worship was a huge flag another wife/mom made for them. USO is a great organization. But a lot of young men and women come from rural area. As Service personnal it is our job…to not allow your local area to “Forget”. I remember as a kid, how Vietam Vets. where treated. These soliders are there…out of choice…not a draft.
My big marine..actual shed a tear…when a WW vet. thanked him.
We’ve an organization called..”Operation solider”…something that has helped our local guys and girls….plus, our Vet. Hospital as well.
Started by families of vets. We have boyscout troops as well, as local school students helping.

Julie:
As you can probably tell from my many orders of military products, I was spent a career in the Army. I have a daughter who is a pilot in Afghanistan and a son who is the Executive Officer of a submarine. They both LOVE it when they get a Mom-o-gram or a care package. But, there are many who don’t get any mail or any packages. Thank you for caring!

Julie: What a blessing to highlight one of America’s Persons of the Week. My husband is a Viet Nam Vet and believe me, those vets got no welcome home whatsoever. Three cheers to Mr. Brady and his group of volunteers.

My husband returned from a year in a Iraq on the 4th of July 2008. I found your company shortly after when I was searching for military supplies for his deployment album. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause. Every little bit of home these brave men and women get, makes the long hours and days a little brighter! You would not believe how excited they get to recieve mail of any kind let alone a care package of familiar items from home! Thanks again!

I just wanted to say thank you for supporting this worthy cause. My husband is currently serving in Iraq for his second tour within a 2 1/2 year period. Every bit of support is greatly appreciated by those serving everywhere in the world, not just in combat areas. Please also remember to include the families in your prayers. In many cases, they have it a lot harder than the soldiers themselves. Prayers and God Bless.

God bless you for your donation to this organization. It brought tears to my eyes. I lost a college friend in the war and will have another dear friend deployed within the next 6 months. Thank you for supporting our troops!

I absolutely love this idea! Both my husband and I are in the US Air Force and it is wonderful to know we are supported – even if just in idea.

My husband is currently in South Korea right now for a year tour and I would appriciate if he was included in your prayers for troups overseas. Many times, when we think of our “deployed troops” we only think of the ones in Iraq, Afghanistan and Qatar. We don’t think (or sometimes even realize) all the troops we have in South Korea (which is now becoming a dangerous place with NKorea acting up), Guam, Honduras and even the ones stationed in Germany or Italy or those “nice places” who are seperated from their families and not always doing a “nice mission.” That prayer and love that comes from home, is the thing that keeps our troops going and fighting as hard as they can.

Thank you!

Thank you for posting the information regarding people who do good things. It’s very nice to read since most of what is on the news or in the newspapers is who killed who, who was mugged, or other upsetting and depressing news. It just reinforces the fact that not everyone in this world is evil. Thanks.
