Thanks from the Troops

Operation USO Care Package received the following emails from troops serving overseas...



"My troops and I just received a box of USO Care Packages two days ago

and it's really nice to see support from the states.  It's tough over here,

but we really enjoy mail (especially goody bags) from the states.  Our

packages had a card saying our packages were sponsored by the 'Big

Show' and I thought, 'Man, those guys are awesome.'"

--379 Expeditionary Communications Squadron

"I have just returned from my R&R leave and I want to "Thank You" for the

superb support your organization gives to us troops.    Your smiling faces,

warm greetings, fresh refreshments, and care packages are without a doubt

a genuine sign of the sacrifices your volunteers give to keep the USO in

an active state."

--HHC SUST BDE, 101ST ABN

"Thanks to the USO for the supply care package.     As you can see from

the enclosed picture everything comes in handy. We are deployed to Al Dhafra Air Base 

in the United Arab Emirates. We are all USAF personnel from the 380th Air

Expeditionary Wing base Fire Dept."

Special Thanks to our 4 Star Sponsors!
