"Without you, our lives would be definitely be a little tougher"

Wednesday, July 16, 2025

Good afternoon,

My name is Valentina and I received your care package. I just want to say thank you so much for it. The soldiers and I here in Saudi Arabia really appreciate it a lot. It means a lot to us to receive these care packages because we are all so far away from home and for a long time and receiving these care packages means absolutely everything to us. Also I want to say thank you for all of your support. Without you, our lives would be definitely a little tougher. Again thank you so much and I hope y’all have a great day!!!!
Much love,
Valentina J.

"Thanks again for your support..."

Hugs Project,

I wanted to thank all of you for the amazing care packages, and all those that helped put them together. I mailed a thank you out today along with a printed version of the PDF. I like physical mail, but it can take some time to arrive. Our unit will be here until January 2026 it looks like, but some are staying on for the next rotation.

If you want to get to know us, I am picking a soldier every few weeks to do a bio, and I can email it if you would like. This is my first deployment along with some of the other soldiers in my unit, and what you do means a lot to us.

Thank you again for your support, kindness, and prayers.

Respectfully,

1LT Seth J.

...it gets over 130F here"

Wednesday, November 27, 2024

We received your package and thank you. The neck coolers will come in handy when it gets over 130F here. It's the simple things like this that help build morale when stationed away from our families. To be forward with you, my name is not Nick Awesome, that is an alias that I use when I'm online. :)
