Hi John
I returned to my FOB on October 15. The first thing I was
told was, "you've got mail." Wow,
John, what can I say? You and the CJMMP
have gone above and beyond generous! I did not think
that
all those boxes in the pictures were coming to me; I thought I was one of
several recipients!
Needless to say, the CJMMP has not only boosted the morale
of D Company, not only the morale of
the
1-150th AHB, but
through
our FOB MWR and put several so far on helicopters flying to remote outposts
that do not
have
the luxuries we have here. So, you all are spreading cheer to soldiers
throughout
continue
to do so. I still have 6 boxes here waiting for additional flights out to more
remote places.
For OPSEC I remove addresses on the
boxes, but I left your CJMMP return address, hoping that the
recipients
will contact you with thanks. Either way, let my thanks on behalf of everyone
on FOB
Delta and elsewhere be a start. You are
all incredibly thoughtful, thank you so much!
I now hold the record for the most mail
in one delivery........
We are looking at about 3 months till
we return, we are all anxiously awaiting walking on
again!
Take care; please extend thanks to
everyone involved!
Sheila

From Major Steven Schultze
Gentlemen,
I would to start with a heartfelt
“Thank you” from
great. Everyone around truly appreciates the time, effort, and
resources that go into to making these
packages. Please know that as soon I get the packages, I set them
out for the Marines and Sailors. Within a
few hours all the items have been claimed. The Marines and
Sailors here are VERY grateful for the
resupply. Having
support from the home-front is critical to keeping up moral, especially with
those of us
that are here through the holidays.
Please pass this note along to Mr. Ken Kalinowski. I did not see an email address for him in the
packet
included in one of the boxes.
Thank you again for everything you have
done and continue to do for the country and for those of forward
deployed.
Semper Fidelis!
Respectfully Submitted,
Maj
Steve Schultze

We did, used some
here, but a bunch went to outlying camps that are even more austere than we
are.
All went to good use. Frankly I was
overwhelmed at the number of packages and grateful for everyone.
Thank you again
