Dear From Our Hearts:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I received the huge box of cards.  I am so popular at work now! In just a few days, the cards have dwindled to just a few.  So many colleagues have stopped by to pick up Valentines, birthday cards, and othe cards to send back home.  The cards that folks make for us are absolutely fabulous.  We really appreciate them.  We are at Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan.  We are in the mountains, so it is snowy, icy, and bitter cold right now (15 degrees) brrr!!

Thanks again,

Major Tara M

A Blessing For All Our Contributors/Volunteers - From Afghanistan

Everyone involved-

Thank you so much for sending cards out to the troops.  These cards are very much appreciated and well liked by all;  I know I personally like them much better than treats or toiletries people send over.  They make sending a quick personalized, non-electronic, note home to family and friends so easy with the cards so close to our fingertips.  God bless everyone involved and may this be a continuous process as long as we are deployed in many locations around the world.

Quality Valentine Cards - A Thank You

Greetings from Afghanistan,

I just wanted to thank you for your ministry of cards. I went over to the Chaplain's Free-X today for the purpose of finding Valentine's Cards to send to my husband and family. I found your beautiful, handcrafted cards and was thrilled at the quality and originality of your cards. I am an occupational therapist, working with mTBI/Concussion for Soldiers on the battle line. I love crafty things by my nature and by my occupation. It was so nice to see the beautiful work that you guys do and offer them to us. I was able to find cards for my whole family and friends and had fun today writing out all my Valentines.

Thanks again,

The birthday girl really appreciated the card!

Sending Our Cards to Outposts

Ma'am,

      I wanted to send you this simple note of thanks.  We received another box of cards from you recently here in Afghanistan.  We put together smaller boxes with cards, toiletries, sheets, etc. to send out to the smaller, more austere outposts where our soldiers are. 

      You are true ministers to our soldiers, and we hope and pray that God continues to bless you in your work.

Very Respectfully,

Staying Connected To Family

Greetings from Afghanistan.  I wanted to thank you for the box of cards you sent to us here.  Since we are in locations such as these, finding a greeting card to send home for birthdays or holidays can be virtually impossible.  I took some out of the box to send to my babies while I’m here.  They are five and eight years old.  As much as we love to get mail here, I know my children love it even more when they get mail from me.

I passed the box around in my area and then passed it along to other places here, so all can benefit from your gift.  Thank you so much.  We get many care packages here, but something that keeps us connected to family is the best gift. 

Very Respectfully,

USO Kandahar Receives Valentines

Hi Martie,

I just had to send you an email this morning and thank you for the wonderful, gorgeous, amazing box of cards that I received this morning when I came in to work.  You literally saved us here at USO Kandahar.  I had already put out a display of Valentine's Day cards thinking I would be getting plenty more in before the guys were able to go through the 500 I put out......I was wrong!  The boys snapped up the cards almost as quick as I had put them out.  I had about 5 cards left when I opened your box. 

I just wanted to say thank you for thinking of us and again tell you how gorgeous your cards are!  If you have not had a chance you can like us on Facebook at USO Kandahar.  I gave you guys a shout out this morning on our page. 

Thank you so much!

Until Every One Comes Home,

Erin M
