Sir/ Ma’am, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the Christmas stocking you sent on behalf of Operation Shoebox. I can’t tell you how special it was to receive such a thoughtful gift while deployed. Your support and consideration make putting on my uniform and serving my country worthwhile. I want to send a special thanks to Helen and Ray Pelleties, (please forgive me if the name is spelled wrong I tried my best to read the handwriting in the card) I would just like to pass on the words of “You’re Welcome!” It is a great honor to serve this country on behalf of all Americans. I would also like to pass on a “Thank you” for your kind words and special gifts. May God also be with you and your family and bring you lots of joy and love. Thank you again and have a very Merry Christmas! Very Respectfully, SSgt Eva M. R
