I appreciate your help in keeping me in contact

Operation Write Home,

Thank you for the blank cards which I used to stay in touch with my wife and kids from Afghanistan. Where I am stationed, card stock or envelopes are not available. Just when I was hunting around for writing material your gifts came arrived.

I appreciate your help in keeping me in contact with my family and providing thank you card to people who send boxes.

Cheers,

K.B.

Archway Cookie Pictures at USO Kandahar

Sandy,
Thank you for continuing to send the BEAUTIFUL cards! Yours always go the fastest! We can not replenish them quickly enough! It means the world to our troops to be able to send cards home to their loved ones. They will come in with the intention to send one card and then 12 cards later they realize they're late for formation! (I also like to send your cards to my loved ones too!)

Here are some pictures of the troops writing your Valentine's Day cards while eating Archway Cookies. I put the pictures on our USO Kandahar Facebook page and tagged Operation Write Home and Archway Cookies in the first picture.

Sincerely,
S.K.
Volunteer Coordinator

Love is evident

Sandy,
I was so touched by the significant contribution of cards that your group provided us...I just had to personally extend my gratitude. We are located in a place where stationary is hard to come by. You have truly blessed us with your beautiful cards. The love you have placed in this outreach effort is evident.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you doesn't seem a big enough reply!

Dear Sandy and staff and family:
I received your box of cards the other day! They are amazing as usual. Thank you doesn't seem a big enough reply! It means so much that God allows me to write to family and friends with such a beautiful expression of love. You all are amazing and I remain so thankful!

Our company rotates back to Missouri by April, so that will be the last month cards will be needed.

I love all of you for the continued blessing in the handmade cards!
Love always,
C.N.
