Operation: MOMS;
If you have ever known a Soldier, the greatest thing whenever far from home is mail. I just wanted
to thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the people who put the time into sending out these boxes. From the ones
who organize the Names to those who buy the items to those who pack and mail, thank you so much for all you do!
It means so much. I don't know where you get the list of items to send, but every one of them will be put to use.
Thank you again, God Bless
