Soldiers' Angels recently sent some goodies to our Heroes on the USS Abraham Lincoln, currently deployed to assist with tsunami relief efforts. We are thrilled that they took some time to reply to us...

I just wanted to thank you for the bag of candy it may be a little bag of candy but it means a lot to the guys that are deployed. I was over in Spain when the war was on and we didn't get anything like this. All we saw on the news was that the country was protesting the war and we didn't know what was going on back in the states.. It means a lot to us to know that people appreciate what we do for our country. And also they understand that we are just out here doing a job that we are told to do.... So THANK YOU....And if you could tell anyone that helped you that I said thank you...

Hi! Wanted to say thank you for sending the goodies out to the USS LINCOLN. It always means a lot when we're reminded that people back home we've never met are thinking about us. Thank you and God bless.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. M-----,
Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to remember us out here. sometimes you forget about your family and only concentrate on yourself. You can easily loose sight of things that are important. But because of people like you, letting us know that we aren't forgotten, I can stay strong. so thank you

Sincerely, J. L.
