I am posting a letter we wrote and send to our troops in each and every care package. We do not agree with our being in Iraq but we support our troops and we need to do everything we can to let them know they are not forgotten. I will post a list of items we have chose from in putting our care packages together.

This Is For All Our Troops Men and Women
God Bless Each Of You.
This is being sent to each and every one of you to let you know our thoughts and Prayers are with you daily. We sincerely hope the package we have put together are items each of you will be able to use. We wish we could come and take your place so each of you could be with your families and loved ones. I know there are many Grannies and Gramps that share the same feelings as we do. Please keep strong in your Faith and know that Our Dear Lord knows our needs as we strive on each day. I must keep telling myself as the years are upon us both that God didn’t promise us a rose garden without the thorns but HE did promise us Strength for each day and Hope for tomorrow and Eternity with HIM. We continually pray for you and your families and are grateful to each of you for the many sacrifices you make in serving in our Armed Forces. We have constantly emailed our Government Officials and let them know to make sure your needs are met.
We also voice our own view on our being there in Iraq. We don't go along with our government continuing to be in Iraq but we support each of you in our daily thoughts and prayers and hope the care packages help in some way to know we are here for you.
We pray the country there will be able to return to care for itself and you all can return home soon.
We send a big hug to each of you.
Sincerely, Grannie Patti and Grampa Jack |
Patti, that is wonderful!! I am so glad to hear that you do this... and your letter is really kind and uplifting! I am sure you are touching sooo many soldiers and their appreciation for these kinds of things is like nothing we'll ever experience. Bless you!
