Mr. Williams,
First, I would like to take a moment to really say, “Thank you,” for the wonderful care package you and your company sent to me and my unit. I
t was very much appreciated. I am not a soldier, but a government employee of the Department of Defense. I work with soldiers everyday and it is a humbling experience to be there with them when they receive these packages, sometimes from complete strangers. I never thought I myself would be a recipient of such kindness. It really made my day. It also made my unit’s day, they’ve been rummaging through the package non-stop, enjoying the many goodies you guys provided.
In response to your questions, I am currently stationed in Afghanistan though I can’t identify where. I expect to remain out here in this position until early winter and then I will be turning over the reigns to my replacement, whose name is Randalyn A.
As for our wish list, most of what was requested I can’t repeat in polite company. In all seriousness, we feel so lucky to be receiving anything and our work is so consuming that we rarely have time to focus on wants. Anything sent our way will be gratefully accepted. I will add that we currently have a large stock of hard candy (such as Jolly Ranchers, etc.) already, as the dusty climate here makes eating these kinds of treats a challenge.
Again, I don’t think I or my unit can thank you folks enough ... it is always a great feeling to know that people back home care and support us.
V/R,
Dean G.
