GS Cookies Boosted Morale!

May 18, 2010

Hello, my name is Michelle Fleming, wife of SSgt William Jack Fleming, Jr. We are stationed near Dayton, Oh. I am a Key Spouse here, a volunteer group of "experienced" spouses who help encourage and support others through deployments. I came home one day and we had a very large box at our doorstep, containing over 50 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies! It boosted morale for quite a few of the wives that are here keeping the home fires burning, as well as a few families returning from and preparing for deployment. A fellow Key Spouse took a few boxes and shipped them overseas to a few single airmen.

My husband is a member of Security Forces (cops) and it is quite a large adoptive family. On behalf of all of us who shared those cookies and enjoyed the letters from the Girl Scouts, we thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Michelle L. Fleming

So glad and moved...

Dear Christine,

It was so good to meet you in San Diego. To meet the angel who cares for our men and women in uniform. I want to thank you very specially for the lovely boutonniere, how thoughtful of you. Dan is extremely busy, it is a big responsibility.

With warmest greetings,

I received a package a while ago, and it was so nice! A BIG thanks to the committee that does those things. It's so nice to know how much people really care. I know when the guys receive packages it makes their day! Sometimes they can feel a little forgotten, but getting any form of mail reminds them that we're all here praying for them and care about them very much. So thank you for that! :)

We had a WONDERFUL time with you and the other Summit folks, thank you so very much!  There really are not words that can express our gratefulness to you and the other SSOT volunteers.  The support is absolutely felt and the supplies and packages that are sent to Matt really do help.  

It is nice to be part of a community that see's the importance of our military and truly cherishes them.  Thank you again for all of YOUR service and commitment to this country.

Kindest Regards and Thanks,

Deanne and Matthew Dill

To Whom It May Concern (and I have suspicions!):
I was delighted to receive in the mail the wonderful flag which had been flown over Falluja, along with the certificate. I must say I am embarrassed to receive it, in that I inadvertently made it all-too-well known how much I liked the flag presented to my son-in-law, Todd Vosper, via Sandra and me at the December 9, 2006 breakfast at Beacon Hill Club. (The other reason for embarrassment being that I don’t deserve it.) Just for the record, I did send the first flag to Todd, overcoming my initial thought of holding the flag in “safekeeping” for a few years before turning it over to him.
I can’t express how honored and how happy I am to receive the flag, which I will display in my office.
With thanks and best wishes, for the flag and all the good work.
Sincerely,Art Williams

Hi Christine! I am writing on behalf of my fiancé, Major T. Last month you sent T. that cool package, with the AMEX gift card. Needless to say, we were speechless. That was above and beyond anything we expected, and very, very generous. T. actually gave the gift card to a deploying friend... thinking that C. was more deserving of the gift. The back story there is that Doc C. returned from Christmas vacation to find that he was deploying in five days. So it was a fire drill to get ready to leave on a ship for 6-8 months, with very little time to prepare! Doc C. hails from Fair Lawn, NJ, so we hope it's okay that he gave the gift to a fellow New Jerseyan. Personally it was neat for me to see T. give this away so fast -- he didn't have the card for 24 hours before giving it to Doc C. That's a Marine for you -- putting a squadron-mate's needs in front of your own. We are honored by your invitation to present T. with a token from the Common Council. T. has been back from Qatar since July, and he will retire from the Marine Corps in June. Christine, thanks again for your support of our troops, and especially of T. It's pretty neat the people from my home town have formed an organization like this, and are so generous to us. It sure is easy to forget that we are at war, and that so many men and women are overseas in miserable living conditions, protecting our freedom. Mindy Williams, Fiancé of Major T./USMC SHS '83.
