Alessandra and Homefront Hugs, HomefrontHugsUSA and Healing Angel has been a tremendous blessing this week. I have received several gift packages including a 3-ft Christmas tree. Most of us seem to be hiding that we are a little down right now because it’s Christmas and we are so far away from...

Chris, Afghanistan

July 2010 Thank you so very much. The help is needed more than you know. Just in case you hear it on the news, most our guys are ok. We had 9 get hurt on Monday. Rocket attack. Most are out of the hospital, just one was real bad, he lost his right leg. He is in route back to the states. My soldiers were not...

Dear Alessandra and volunteers: Thank you so much for all you are doing. We really appreciate it! We received a shipment of stuffed animals (care of Ms. Lawson) and, despite the fact that our puppy, Trigger was a big fan and wanted them all for himself, we took them over to the trauma unit we have here, run...

To Whom it may concern, I have been in the military for 13 yrs and I am currently on my fourth deployment. I can not express enough what it means to a Soldier to get a piece of mail.

Thomas B. Vaughn, Jr. Camp Cropper

Hi Alessandra, Another care package arrived last week with cookies, cards, and toys.  Thanks so much! We’re under the 60 day mark until we head home, so I’ll be sending an email in the next day or two letting folks know to stop sending packages after the first week of July.  That will allow us...

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO Alessandra, Thank you so much for the boxes we have received.  We may be moving to a different location, so I don’t need anything else at this time.  Also, the other medics may be moving to, so I wouldn’t send anything to them past this point either. ...

W. LANCE RODGERS, Lt Col, USAF, MSC, FACHE

Alessandra, Thank you so much for the care package.  It took only 7 days to get here, so there must have been some military flights that happened very shortly after you took them to the post office.  I’m sure Dr Hamayon will be thrilled to get the foot cream.  We’re going back to the hospital...

SPC Rosier, Monique

I will like to personally like to thank you for take the time to send me a care package. You really don’t know how much this means to me I haven’t received a package from any of my love one since I been here which actually brought my morale real low. I thought I wasn’t cared for. When I...
