THANKS! From Task Force 1/3

I wanted to pass on the sincere appreciation from all the Marines and Sailors of 1st Battalion 3rd Marines for all the thoughtful care packages.  Many of my men are on their first deployment, let alone first combat deployment, so it can be a difficult adjustment, but with all your support it makes it easier.  It is good to know that there are so many caring Americans that continue to support the men and women fighting this war on terrorism.

 

We only have a little time left now and I ask that is you had plans on sending more care packages, please do so in the next couple of days so it makes it to us prior to getting forwarded back to Hawaii.  I recommend no other care packages after the 15th of this month, even though we will still be over a month out of our departure they will be rerouting mail starting in early Feb.

 

Thanks again for all the great support, take care

 

Semper Fidelis!

HERO SUPPORTERS, 

THANK YOU for all your help in sending Support Boxes to this Task Force Unit. Since mail cut off is early February and it takes 1 to 2 weeks for mail to arrive, we'll be sending out this week and all next week to this Unit. If you have anything you'd like to send, please call or email. 806.898.0356  or Jodi@SupportingOurHeroes.com. From what I've heard, the last month of deployment is one of the hardest, so we'll be sending a lot to our guys to try to help them through that mail-less last month. 

Semper Fi
