Indian Ocean, July 24, 2016 - Hello, Just wanted to send you all an email to say thanks for sending me a care package. I'm sure you hear it all the time but you have no idea how appreciative we are when we receive unexpected packages. Not everyone has family or friends who can send them needed items during deployment, but you all have made that happen for so many Sailors and we can't say thank you enough.

I shared my care package with the Ship's Office onboard USS MASON, and again we all would like to say THANK-YOU!! God Bless and take care☺ Very respectfully, ~~ YN1(SW) Rhonda -- -- -- USS MASON (DDG 87) Ship's Secretary/Exec LPO
