To All the Wonderful Folks at SKIP,
Thanks for all you support while we support and defend our great nation.

SKIP,
Thank you for sending us all of the wonderful snacks and goodies! I wanted to tell you how much it means to us and that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have really helped boost the morale and we appreciate your support. We look forward to carrying out the remainder of our mission to support our country until we are able to come back home. Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Elena

Dear SKIP,
Just wanted to write a quick note and say thank you for the packages. The snacks and book you sent were awesome. We all enjoyed it very much. I put it out on the main table and the Soldiers attacked it. It was greatly appreciated. It is hard for anyone to understand how much a simple package of standard items does for the morale of my Soldiers here away from their families. The simple things matter when you are out here, the things that when we are in the states do not seem important at all. So I would just like to extend our extreme gratitude for all the support we receive.
From the Soldiers of [The Unit],
Tina

Dear SKIP,
On behalf of [The Unit] I want to thank you for the package. As stated, we have no electricity yet and we’re unable to watch the video. We should have some in the very near future and we will watch it. The book is great and more would be appreciated. We also could never get enough drink mixes and candy. Elizabeth wrote us a letter and we want to thank her for her support. There’s no return address so I’m sending the thank you to ya’ll. Anyhow I’m sorry this is short but we’ve got some work to do. Thank you very much for your support!

I want to thank you for the care package. It was well appreciated and came at a very good time. My team and I are at a location and we don’t receive mail on a daily bases. Our unit comes to visit us once a month and brings our mail; they also take our mail that we need to send off back with them. I shared the package with the team and they send their thanks also.

We are from Ft. Hood TX. I am actually from East Texas, born and raised a farmer’s daughter. I have been in the Army for 19 years and plan to retired out of the Army when I return home. This is my third deployment to Iraq, and I also served in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I enjoy being in the Army very much and will miss it tremendously when I retire, but it’s time to move on. I have a Masters in Animal Science and would like to finish out my doctrines degree. Hopefully have my own veterinarian clinic one day. Soldiers here really appreciate the support and kindness of people and organization s like yourself, who spends their time making sure we have the little things that bring great pleasure to our life styles over here. So, once again,
Thank you and God Bless You, the SKIP organization and America,
Janie

Dear SKIP,
Thank you so much for the care package. We really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. I haven’t seen the DVD but once I do, I will let you know what I think of it. Again, thank you. Everything was put to good use.

Dear SKIP,
Thank you vey much for the care package. I was able to share with several of my battle buddies, and we are all most grateful for you kindness! Even better your timing could have been better because I received your package on my birthday. I was a most excellent birthday gift! Thank you again, and keep up the good work!
Thank you,
Daphne

SKIP,

Dear SKIP,
Thank you for the awesome care package. It’s Americans like you that give Soldiers the ability to carry on the fight!

Hello,
I do apologize for not corresponding sooner however I have fairly recently received your letters/packages. Thank you for everything you do for me and my family in my absence. I am not sure why but for some reason the mail system has been slacking lately. I am just now receiving letters and packages postmarked July and August. My work and other activities have been keeping my busy these past few months. Softball season is about to start within the next couple of weeks and I plan to participate. Quite a bit has gone on back home as well as here but I am continuing to pray and read my Bible. Everything happens for a reason. So how are things going in your part of the world? I hope all is well with you and yours. The holidays are right around the corner! What are your plans? I can’t believe I have been over here 5 months already. They are going by fast which is really a good thing. I can’t wait to get home to Trent (my husband). I do apologize for the lack of personalization in this letter but I’m afraid there are quite a few that I received letters from all at once and the fact that they are mostly 2 or 3 months old I wanted to reply quickly. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you for Everything!!!
Mrs. Brown
