Hey Mr. Pope,

I just wanted to write you to tell you personally how much I really appreciate the package I received.  I can speak on the behalf of the rest of the soldiers, especially the ones who do not get much from home,  how much this means to us.  We are all doing well over here; just counting down the days till we all get to come back home.  Well I have to go for now, but I just wanted to let you know that I received the care package and I appreciate it.

Dear Mr. Pope,

I just wanted to take the opportunity to express my deepest and sincere gratitude for the care package.  I was truly overwhelmed with emotion when I discovered that there was someone who took the time to think about me, as well as so many other American soldiers serving abroad.  My hat goes off to each of the men, women and children that volunteered their time and effort for such a noble cause.  Individuals like you make me proud to be an American serving in the United States Armed Forces!  May God bless each and every one of you and once again, sincerely from the bottom of my heart, Thank You!

Dear Mr. Pope,

I received my package today and just wanted to say thank you.  I don't know how it came about that I received a package from the state that I reside.  Many of our national guard soldiers got their packages and I truly am very grateful for your efforts and what you are doing for us. 

Spirits are high here and you can be very proud of the job our troops are doing overseas.  It is certainly a difficult time being away from home at this time of the year, but this really helps remind us that the American people still care and have not forgotten.

May God bless you and your staff and those who volunteer to make this project a success.
