A big thank you from Afghanistan this Memorial Day to Gifts for GIs, to all who donated, and to all who volunteered their time. We received the packages (17 in …total I believe) and were totally blown away! The whole team (and all of those around us) are really appreciative of your efforts and thoughts, the packages will certainly provide a piece of home for us while we are away. You did an AMAZING job!

A Happy and Safe Memorial Day to all and thanks again for keeping us in your thoughts and doing what you do to support us, without the overwhelming support from the homefront, our mission would be even tougher!
