Military Appreciation...

My family decided that it'd be best to send a care package to my 2nd cousin Jordan. He opened our box first, which contained basic things like hand warmers, clothes, magazines, baby wipes, toiletries, etc. Next, he got this.

"This Dodge Caliber is yours," announced the first document he removed from the package after knifing it open in front of his fellow Marines.

That is awsome. They don't get enough appreciation. It's our job to show appreciation. They are doing a selfless job and it's the least we can do in return.

This is absolutely wonderful. I think every last one of them deserve the same thing.

Thumbs up

That's awesome!! I volunteered to go to Iraq and I'll be leaving in a couple of months and I know first hand how much it means just to get a "Thanks for what you do" or a hand shake. Any little thing to support us means so much and makes us drive on even harder! We all REALLY appreciate everyone's support

i have recieved three packages from the kind people at operation gratitude, i have been over here in Iraq for almost 5 months and it really helps to get these care packages, it really raises our morale to see that people we dont know and will never meet care enough to spend there time and money to make us feel that we are not forgoten in the hearts and minds of the citizens that we are suffering for.
