Kristin,

Wow! I don't even know where to begin! But thank you. I am speechless! Overwhelmed!! Thank you for thinking of us! Those packages were great! I brought them and shared them with my detachment of 14 sailors, they say thank you too!!!!!! We had a mini picnic last night! And the smiles on the faces were priceless! I told them as much as I could about you and your organization.

I / we can not thank you enough! If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know!!!!!!

I will be in touch,
Bill
