Dear Ms Allnock,
Thank you for your support and all who make Operation Write Home the succes it is. While Msgt O. has redeployed back to the states, please be assured that the new Post Chapel staff will distribute and encourage the soldiers to write home!
May your gift of love be shared by those who write the cards and those that receive them.
Blessings,
Ch K.H.

A generous gift like these handmade cards

Mrs. Allnock,

I am one of the physicians at the 325th Combat Support Hospital. You sent us a whole box of cards with a nice picture of your dog included. The box is being thoroughly used on our hospital’s ward. However, I posted the picture of Ciara in my office, because she reminds me of my dog, Evie. Thank you all so much. The Iraq withdrawal is tough, and it is nice to have such a generous gift like these handmade cards.

Sincerely,
L.M.

It immediately lifted my spirits

Dear Sandy,

My name is Chief Warrant Officer 2 B.T. and to my surprise, I got a large package today. I have no idea how you got my name and address or even if you know anything about me but it was a wonderful surprise after a long mission. Let me start by telling you a little about myself.

I am a CH-47D Chinook helicopter pilot with the Army National Guard and when I’m not playing “G.I. Joe” on the weekends I’m a Deputy with my County Sheriff’s Department. I have 3 young boys waiting for me at home along with a loving and patient girlfriend. I look forward to seeing them when I return home in June.

Today I flew a 7 1/2 hour combat mission and I was extremely exhausted once I landed my aircraft. I walked into my headquarters and to my surprise I had a package. It immediately lifted my spirits to see that total strangers were writing me and sending me a care package and, to my knowledge, they didn’t even know me. This war has been going on for so long that, generally, the American public has lost it’s American pride. But to see complete strangers sending little ol’ me a care package…….well that’s just OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Please keep up the good working in supporting us over here and in Iraq. I plan on sharing all the goodies with my fellow pilots here……even though i don’t really want to (heheheheheheheheh).

I wish i could write all the wonderful people that took the time to hand write and color on the cards I received but unfortunately I have another long mission tomorrow and I need to get my rest. I hope that you are able to forward this email to them and let them know I am VERY grateful for their thoughts, prayers and cards.
 Once again thank you very much!!!!!

6 Hours…Half Gone!

We received your box of cards today! I am happy to say the box is half gone and it has only been 6 hours. The cards are so cute and adorable. Thank you so much for all the love and work that went into this box. I write home often and I am still amazed that cousins, aunts, friends, and love ones that I do not talk to often at home write me here! I have rekindled many relationships and shared stories about my experience here through cards like these. With all the technology we have….there is something you cannot replace about a handwritten card or letter from a person that cares.

Respectfully,
2LT RO
