Summer 2009

In response to our Christmas and Thanksgiving packages, we received some letters from our troops.
 

We recently sent out packages to these contacts.  The packages contained:

magazines, loads of books (thanks to Cathy and John Moretta from RI),  60 boxes of girl scout cookies (thanks to Amelia O'Rourke and her RI troop who donated the cookies), drink mixes for bottled water, deodorant, shampoo, cookies, body wash, hair ties, feminine products, nail polish, trail mix, granola bars and comfy pillows.
 
SSGT Pamela Mead, U.S. Marines
Pamela arrived in Iraq in February 2009 and is scheduled to leave in April 2010.  She is the Supply Chief and is with a unit from North Carolina.  Pamela wants to receive packages to keep the morale up and to help those soldiers who receive no packages from home.

SPC Shawn Kelsch
U.S. Army
We have been sending packages to Shawn for a few months now. Shawn recently requested that we send some musical instruments.  We sent over the following items.  Shawn arrived in Iraq in November 2008 and is slated to leave in September 2009.  This is the first time we have received a request for musical instruments and we were happy to oblige, thanks to your generosity!
