Your Support Matters
As people who work very actively to do what we can for our deployed troops, I have to admit that one sometimes wonders if it really helps. We often don't hear back from those we send stuff to (I'm not condemning them, they are busy people) and sometimes I read posts about units with too much stuff.
But then I read a post like this one from 375 and a Wake Up.

And then there were the letters from back home. One came with news that SGT Ferguson, who chances of survival were once considered remote, was back in California and well on his way down the long road to recovery. Another came full of comedy DVDs that had me laughing until my sides ached. And still another came from a 10 year old who asked if she could send her own stuffed animals here to Iraq for the destitute children around our FOB. In the face of so much support, and in the company of so many everyday hero?s it is hardly surprising I found myself renewed. This mission can be difficult, but it must be done. And I plan on doing my part? the best way that I can.And so, now I am renewed and know my efforts matters and can once again urge you to do whatever you can.
