Deployed Troop Finds New Family

Deployed Troop Finds New Family

Letter from the War Zone:

Hi Mrs. Linda;

I just want to tell everyone who sent  Christmas cards and care packages, Thank you so very much for caring. My Christmas would not have been the same without your support. You are like a new family to me.

I would like to tell you about my trips to the mail room. When I get there and the lady in the mail room, Mrs. Sanders, says 'you got mail Calvin,' a joy comes over me, because I know the box is from you. I am so happy walking to my job with my box from my new family. The only thing is, I wait until it is night like a kid, and open the box with great joy, I like doing that.

I LOVE all of you and thanks for all that you do. You touch the hearts of many people and I am glad to be one of those people. To all Have a BLESS DAY. Thanks for helping me have a Merry Chrismas. I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas.    
 
Calvin V.
