To everyone of you, Thank you.

I am military and believe it or not writing now from the Middle East.  Obviously by having internet access I am more blessed that some of my brothers and sister in other parts of the theater, but I too have had my time further down range.

Let me share with you what happens when care packages arrive.  First, work stops.  There is a gathering around anyone receiving the package because there is always the sharing of the love.  What is mine is my brother's.  There are times when packages arrive and come from complete strangers, the occasional grade school class, or a motivated church.  It is quite the odd feeling to be shown support from someone you will likely never meet.  These moment recharge our batteries.  They remind us that we are not alone, even though we are away from home.  As I write this it occurs to me that my words fail to express the degree to which your support helps. 

So with that, I will finish with saying thank you for being a very important part of our team.  You do make a difference.  God bless.
