Thank you for the packages its is exactly what we needed especially the
binos and the spotting scopes the it is a relief that someone other than
us understands the use and or need for these things. I just wanted to write
you guys and tell you that i got your package, everything was intact and to
thank you.

On another note the platoon commander wanted to know were you guys
got the data books from we have been looking for the exact one that you
 have generously given us. Every style of data books that we have looked
 into have not worked out for us for one reason or another. If we could get
 the web site or address he would appreciate it. On behalf of all of us we
 just wanted to thank the scout sniper association for everything that you
 have done for us. All the items that were sent to us are already in use at
 the moment and will be used extensively with all the schools and training
 that is to follow on our return to the USA. So we thank you for all of you
 support and we will definitely be keeping in touch.

Sincerely,
3rd Bn 7th Mar Div Scout Sniper Platoon.

Thank you for the packages, we received both when we got
out of the field the other night, they are EXCELLENT! the food is great,
cliff bars, power bars, chef boy R dee, keep it coming! easy mac, cup
o noodles, DVD's (used works just fine) hand sanitizer are some ideas,
we have a microwave when we get back to our main sniper hooch, but
no fridge.

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! we all truly appreciate all of you
guys thanks!

I apologize for the lengthy delay in getting back to you.
The four boxes did indeed arrive intact and undamaged. The internet here
is no guarantee and I've been unsuccessfully attempting to email you for the
last week and a half to let you know. This email looks promising as the system
is working as it should. The guys wanted me to ensure I extended their gratitude
for the support you all give. Above and beyond. It's incredible and appreciated.

Many thanks.

Thanks a million for the packages. They were awesome
and, went quickly. And, also thanks those people that wrote those messages
for their support. As for the platoon and things that are going on, Ramadi is
definitely the last real insurgent stronghold in my opinion. If the city isnt pushed,
then its a lost hope. We are doing everything we can thats in our control.
Missions have been going well and, we havent sustained any casualties.
Ken, your not getting all religious on us with your message, we pray before
every mission. All the teams do it. It was kinda funny when we got your
drivers license. We all hit the Lt up with, "see everyone in the community
has 'slamming hair' at some point". Well once again, thanks a million and
we will be getting pictures to yall as soon as possible.. We are also hoping
to get the pictures on the 1/6 page of the photo album on SSA web site..

take care and talk to yall later..

We recently received two boxes of items from the Scout/Sniper Association,
that were sponsored by Northrop Grumman. On the behalf of the platoon,
let me extend my heartfelt thanks for goods and the thoughts that they
represent. The time, effort, and money that went into the project are
valuable, but more important is the idea they represent -- that
Americans at home are actively standing behind those on the frontlines.
Our platoon has had great success over here, and I'm sure we will
continue to do well. We appreciate your support and hope you guys
take the credit you deserve for helping us.

Sincerely,
Lt J. C.
3/5 SSP Cmdr

I received a package from yourself and your husband this week
I want to thank you very much. Its hard to express how much the Marines
and I appreciate your generosity. The boxes were filled with great stuff
that really excited the Marines I have them out on long Operations working
there bottoms off and when they come in and see the gifts that people they
don’t even know are sending them it really makes what there doing worth while.
Again I want to thank you for your support please let everyone involved know also

We received all 5 packages, i double checked everything with the
inventory sheet in each box, and everything matched up perfectly!!
wow, thanks a lot for all the gear and everything you guys are doing
for us, all my Marines were really happy to get all that stuff, and
its already being put to good use! we are still staying really busy
out here, and doesnt look like its gonna let up any time soon. but we
have no problem with that, makes the time go by a lot faster!! sure
has been getting cold though, just 2 weeks ago we were sweting are
[tails] off, now were wearing swetshirts and cold weather under armour
in our hides. anyway, got a lot of e mails to catch up on, thanks again for everthing,
we cant express how much it means to us.

thank you!
