"Believe in the Magic of the Season" - this was the saying that was stamped on the inside of a Christmas card From Our Hearts received one day, not too long ago.
On the outside of the envelope:
no return address.
Postmark: APO AE
No stamp. In its place the words "free".
. . . Another card received from the war zone . . .
Inside, the most beautifully handwritten message.
Merry Christmas
To all our loyal friends at From Our Hearts, I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. Thank you for all you do. Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated. Here is a small donation so you may continue to take care of our troops while we take care of our great nation so far from home. Keep up the great work. God Bless.

We could not read the signature. There was no return address so we don't know who sent us the donation. We suspect the contributor wants to remain anonymous. This is a first for From Our Hearts - to receive a donation from the war zone.
Imagine, busy serving our country and taking the time to write to thank From Our Hearts and to help with cash so that we may continue to send the boxes . . . now that is from the heart!
This card and his/her words are meant for each and every contributor and volunteer to From Our Hearts.
Believe in the magic . . . our cards are a gift we give year round that keeps on giving and touching thousands of lives in so many, many ways.
