What can I say but thank you. I am a Platoon Sergeant in charge of
helicopter maintenance for our inventory of Army Aircraft. And thanks to
you I recieved a great surprise of a 22lb box of your delicious jerky and I
don’t know who to express my gratitude to. The timing of the package
couldn’t have been more sweet. I recieved the package on New Years Day and
was able to walk around our hangar and backshop areas giving joy to all of
these Warriors while wishing them a Happy New Year in such a forgein
country. You see we have had some overwhelming times lately with the
increase in IDFs and never ending aircraft maintenance so the respones that
I received from the Troops was overwhelming to this old Sergeant. To see
them all look at me with those tired eyes and then suddenly chear up when I
tossed a bag or two their way. Some of the troops went to say that the
jerky they had was the best that they ever had, especially the “hot” jerky.
But let’s not forget the addition of the endless hours of comradery and
jokes that ensued from this event. Particularly, about how everybody wanted
a piece of SFC ——-’s meat out of his box, or “look at all that meat that
SFC —– has stuffed in his box”. I know it may sound crude but such is
the life of a Soldier that volunteers to serve their country. Again thank
you from the base of my soul and bottom of my heart. It is the Hometown
Heros such as yourself and the Angel that thought of us over here that
reminds us home and encourages us to continue on with the fight so that we
may hurry home to our loved ones knowing that we are thought about by not
only them but our country in which we love so much. Thank you and God bless.
