Letters of Appreciation Last Updated Thursday, 29 October 2009 00:53 Dear Friends, I am the wounded warrior who received your care package after the hummer I was in was blown up by an IED.  I was air medevaced without my equipment and in the ER they cut my clothes off.  I had nothing at that time.  As soon as I was in a bed at the hospital, someone came by and gave me the bag that you had so caringly packed.  I was able to get cleaned up and feel human again.  You cannot imagine how it made me feel to know that I was not alone in this.  Yours was the first touch of kindness when I needed it most.  Please do not stop what you are doing.  I thank you so very, very much.  God bless you all! Yours sincerely, SFC J.
