This thank you note came in to us a couple of days ago:
Dear "Navy Mom's",
Yesterday I had the privilege, along with my fellow SNCO's, to unpack the 300+ pillowcases sent to us by your organization. We will distribute 300+ them to our members prior to Christmas.
On behalf of the 354th Aircraft Maintenance Unit deployed from Davis Monthan Air Force Base, AZ....a heartfelt "Thank You" for these unique gifts which I'm sure will be greatly appreciated by all members.
> JASON MSgt, USAF
> Weapons Section Chief
> 455 EAMXS/MXACWI responded and this is what he wrote:
Your pillow cases have been a great hit with the guys! Many thanks to you all,
the smiles are priceless. Merry Christmas!
JASON H. WATSON, MSgt, USAF -

So wonderful to read a message from them!! Warms my heart. I never figured out how to send a photo from my phone, but a few of my pillow cases had Santa on them :) Thank you Sue for making this happen.

Karen, thanks for your contribution!
I heard from our POC yesterday. Here is what she said:
I have a ton of pictures to send you! :) Everyone absolutely loved them!
We had a great time on Christmas and much of that joy can be contributed to you and your team.
What is a good mailing address for you?
V/R, LINDSEY MSgt, USAF
First Sergeant ◊ 455 EAMXS/CCFPlus my hubby heard from the wife at church that her hubby got a pc. It was because of that young man being deployed at the last minute with this unit that we did them.
that's how HAE works and I love that! We know of 1 person and because our motto is "ALL OR NONE", 359 others got a pillowcase.
She did send me a bunch of photos but I haven't checked yet if I can post them. I always ask. But I do have 1 of part of the unit that I got permission to post. She said this is 1/3 of them.
