on the camp. There were many comments about that have not gotten anything from home. Again
how awesome everything was, ranging from we would like to thank you.
"This is like Christmas" to "Best idea for gifts
from home" .... the individually wrapped care SPC Cayton, William

enjoyed the Time with the heartburn that I Dear Ms. Miller,

8. Dear Mrs. Kimberly Miller,
Allow me to begin by saying thank you so much for the wonderful care packages you and your
company sent to myself and my fellow service members. Words cannot describe how wonderful it
feels to know there are people back in the states who appreciate and support what we are doing over
here and show it with action. I really enjoyed my care package and I know everyone else did as well
because they did not last long at all because everyone was happy to get one. I hope you have a
wonderful day and God bless you .
Thanks again!

Good Morning Ms. Miller,
Just passing on appreciation for the support you provide
to military members. My coworkers and I each received
one of your care package bags from a box you sent to
another member here in Kabul, Afghanistan, and we are
very grateful for your efforts.
Take care, and God bless.

9. Hello Ms. Miller,
My name is SFC Neal Nethery and I am the Operations Sergeant for the 875th Engineer Company out
of North Wilkesboro, NC, currently deployed to Afghanistan. I received the gift bags and distributed
them to all of the younger Soldiers in the unit and to those who have not received any mail since we've
been deployed. It was very apparent that they appreciated the kindness displayed by you and your
organization. Most of them don't have internet access as we live in a very remote part of the base that in
a remote part of the country.
I wanted to let you know on behalf of the entire unit how much we appreciated your show of kindness
and thoughtfulness. Everyone here is doing okay and adjusting to the hot and dusty environment. We are
building a facility that will be used to prepare equipment for transport out of the region next year as the
U.S. military transitions toward withdrawal from Afghanistan. Please pass on our sincere gratitude to the
many people at GSK, RTP North Carolina and your partners at Sodexo, ePromos and Operation North
State for the great work they did in order to provide bags and the wonderful products inside them for us.
We are honored to serve you and our great country.
Very Respectfully,
SFC Willie Neal Nethery

Dear Aunt Sylvia
We received the boxes and I must say, you all did an outstanding job showing the appreciation you all
have for our Soldiers. They were like kids in a brand new candy store that opened up at the end of that
dirt road...lol!
We all enjoyed it, while remembering it for awhile. The thing they love the most was not the candy or
my poster...sad face...lol!
It was the bottles of HOT SAUCE! Yep, once again. We have photos coming. They are doing a
storyboard for me to send to you. You all should enjoy. Oh yeah, tell Mrs. Kimberly...THANK YOU!
You all did a wonderful job. We are truly grateful.

My name is SSG Wells and I am currently stationed in Afghanistan. Your care packages have made it
out to our base. We would like to thank you and all the contributors for your time and contributions in
putting these bags together. We would also like to thank you and everyone for your support.
Our unit is a National Guard unit based out of North Carolina. It means a lot to soldiers out here
receiving care packages like these, reminding them that they are being supported from the home front.
It's always nice seeing something arrive from "back home". These items will definitely be put to good
use.
Thank you so much once again!

12. As an Army Mom these types of projects have special meaning to me and
will forever be close to my heart. I will continue to do these types of project
both here at GSK and on my own until the day it is no longer needed.
I would personally like to thank everyone on and off the GSK campus for
helping bring this project to life! Without you and your support this project
would not have been a success. My co-workers never cease to amaze me with
their caring hearts, spirit of giving and their work ethic to get the job done!
Thank you again for allowing me to lead this project!
