A big box arrived for the Troops from Oak Forest (I don't want to use anyone's real name here, you know who you are) - it was sent on November 21st, but didn't get here until December 21st! And it was shipped 2-3 day priority mail. Whoof!!

Thanks so much for the generous package - please PM me if you'd like Prickly Pear Jelly and/or need an IRS donation letter. Thanks again!! -B

I want to thanks you for your support and acknowledge your kind gesture
thoughts in providing a cigar for us (the guys in my unit) to enjoy. Your
compassionate thought and profound thoughtfulness have touch a few Soldiers
in my Unit and wanted to let you know we appreciate service. Once again,
thanks.

I wanted to say thank you for the care package! I received it today, and it
was awesome! It'll definitely keep morale up and help create comradery
within our unit while sharing stories over cigars.

The chewing tobacco was also a nice touch and the Soldiers that use it were
very excited to get it, so thank you again.

Believe it or not, I'm still alive and kicking here in NM. I'm getting more troop requests that I can personally fund, so I thought I'd give a shout out to any of you who might want to contribute. I'm also going to post the Troop notes of appreciation here, too, instead of having two separate threads that don't get topped very often. PM me here or email ABQBetty AT Gmail if you need my address/cell or have questions or want to ask about Prickly Pear Jelly that's available (or what to talk dirty....[-x 😳 😳 or whatever).

Repeat Requests:
Coyote Brown THORLO thick padded combat over-the-calf socks (sizes M, L & XL)
Dip - Esp. Copenhagen Wintergreen, which seems to be the most requested
Slim Jims
Protein bars



Thanks from Troops who received OpFTH boxes from me:

I'm currently deployed to [The Sand Box] doing vessel operations. I would love some cigars if you have some available! It would be very much appreciated by me and my comrades out here.

A fellow service member informed me about Operation From The Heart and the support they provide to deployed service members. Please accept my request for a care package of cigars and other goodies.

Good morning Beth, I was given your business card and information to request a care package.
The card says that you all send cigars and other goodies...that sounds
amazing! I would definitely be interested in receiving something like that
in the future!
