| Notes From the Troops | Defenders of Freedom |
"When I got back to my office today, I had two boxes of goodies from you today
I can't say enough about the things that you do for me and other Soldiers that
are out here doing our job. These boxes bring so much joy to me and my
Soldiers. They can't believe that there are people who really care to
send Soldiers things when they request it. I told them that Donna and
her Dallas team rolls:). Thanks for my Redskins blanket and fathead. I
didn't expect you to send this s-frame, you're too much. For all the time I
sat in your space and watch you pack boxes I never thought that some day it
would be my turn. I love you for still taking care of me and my Soldiers here
and everywhere else."
MSG Milburn
"Thank you so much Donna. We have been using a lot of it to try and
keep moving. There isn't a whole lot of food here but I would
rather take the supplements then eat most of the food. We have
been using the rice cooker and it makes things so much better to
know that we always have food besides the chow hall.
Thanks again Donna."
Tony
"Putting the clubs to use already, i'll be good on balls until sometime
next month. Thank you Donna one of my guys is really interested in golf
right now. We love you!!! Thank you for making this tour a bit easier
for us. It means alot to me and the guys that somebody do take care of
us when we ask for the impossible... never thought I could have golf
clubs here in Iraq. Thank you Donna and the FREEDOM DEFENDERS....."
Justin Faafiti
"Just wanted to let you and Linda know all the hard work that you guys
are doing really is paying off that is for sure. You both are wonderful
woman and have donated your time and hearts in to the right positive
direction. Thank you so much you have touched for a lifetime Thank you
again."
Heather Die
"I really just wanted to tell you thank you! Your package
was way more than I expected and it made everyone's day!!!!
Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
SGT Stacy C. Dowe
Yay more magazines today! Thank you!!!
SSG Mac Arthur D. Ocampo
"Thank you so very much. Mr. Cody---one of the TBI soldiers, has
also said, thank you so very much for the help this season. He is very
thankful. Our Dr. also said thank you for helping the soldier with the
fitness equipment. Filling that request was a blessing to him too."
AW2 Amy Hawk
"I got your packages of magazines and valentines m&m's I appreciate it and
everybody loves the reading material that you sent me. Not alot going on
over here just the time is flying by and that is helping me get through
this deployment. I'm now on tower guard which is boring but someone has
to do it, anyway i gotta take a nap before i start work, thank you and
take care."
SPC Sneed
"Hello. I wanted to thank you for all of your and your companies support for myself
and all of the other soldiers that ya'll have touched. Sometimes we don't get
around to writing back to say thank you. I try to collect as many of the messages
from all of the boxes everyone gets so that I can write back to groups such as
yours to say thank you. It isn't required but it is the least we can do for all of
you who are giving of yourselves by taking the time out of your lives to do this
for us. On behalf of all of my guys THANK YOU for being such beautiful people.
Yes you are right Joan is doing an awesome job and has been very nice to me and my
guys. If you need anything from us feel free to ask.
I would say god bless but he already has in all of you."
Sidney
"My soldier is deployed and has already received three care packages from you with
more than he thought you would ever send. I think you sent everything that he and
his team requested and more.
The heaters you sent in the first package have already been put to good use and the
fans will be great once it starts warming up. My soldier got the package with the
toaster oven yesterday at mail call, and that was one of the first things he
mentioned on the phone - he was ecstatic.
He says that every package and letter he gets, whether from family or Defenders of
Freedom, is like Christmas.
What you do is a huge morale booster to my soldier, his team, and other soldiers
stationed with him. Thank you for finding ways to bring a smile to the faces of
troops overseas."
Jarrelle Waldorf, wife of U.S. Soldier
