Kuwait – May 22, 2017, I just want to say thank you for them bottom of my heart! Thank you all for everything you all do. I shared the box with my Soldiers and they were so thrilled and felt loved. The look on their eyes.... there is no words that describe that feeling. I truly appreciate everything and may God continue to bless you and your families. The letter from the kid Ariel that was sent in the box was kind and very heart felt.
