Thank You From A Soldier Far From Home

This facebook message to Manasota Operation Troop Support last night just had to be shared with all of our community on Patch today.

"Thank you to the one who packed my box. Thank you to the one who folded and taped my box. Thank you to the one who shopped for my goodies and spent your hard earned dollar to make me feel special. Thank you to the one who addressed my box. And can't forget the one who took it to the post office! Any and everyone who has ever had anything to do with this organization.....THANK YOU!

I was feeling lonely today in GTMO Cuba, missing family, and thinking about missing Christmas with my children. Then my name popped up on the mail list! I got excited, rushed to the mailroom...and to my surprise.....a Christmas Gift from people who don't even know me! Know that you are making a difference in our morale and in our lives.....no matter how small your part! Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you, and I LOVE YOU!"
