@Maryellen - I did 50 PCs with the Reseda High School NJROTC.  If that is the ROTC group, I would love the thank you note so I could mail it to the Commander.

Comment by Maryellen on July 8, 2011 at 8:46pm

The Air Wing is getting the pillowcases, if you know who the groups mentioned are let me know.

 

Good afternoon,
Today, we were blessed with the arrival of some special pillow cases that were made with love. I take great pleasure in thanking each and every one of those that have sacrificed their time and efforts in support of the brave men and women out defending the freedoms of our great nation. I know that I will cherish this as a little piece of home.

On behalf of the men and women of HSC-9, I thank you and your group for the “gifts from the heart”. When we lay our heads upon these pillow cases, we will all feel a little closer to those that we love. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we do all those that are protecting the USA every single day. Thank you again for all that your organization does to support the men and women of the US Navy.

Warm regards,


AZC(AW/SW) Pxxx Fxxxx


To whom it may concern,

I would like to thank the Cary Alliance Youth Group for the pillowcases they made and sent to us. I was able to pick one up for myself, and it gives me a warm feeling to know that people are thinking about us back home. I appreciate your support for our navy and look forward to hearing from you guys in the future. Thanks again and just know that we are keeping you safe out here!

Ixx Txxxxxx

Hello,

Today we received the pillow cases, that were made for us. We greatly appreciate them, Thanks for putting your time and love into them. Thanks to all the ROTC cadets, keep up the great work. To all the mothers, thank you for taking the time to make these for us.
Thanks Again,
AMAN Lxxx, Mxxx


Ms. Johnson,
Greetings from the USS GEORGE H. W. BUSH (CVN 77). I wanted to take a few moments and send a quick email to pass a heartfelt thank you to you and Girl Scout Troop 20032 for my new pillow case. I selected a lovely paisley print with maroon backing, it matches my maroon sheets! The little things count out here, thanks again!!
Very Respectfully,
YNC(AW/SW) Mxxxxx L. Cxxxx


Mrs. Theresa H. J.,
I would like take the time to say thank you very much for the pillow case. It is nice to know that people such as yourself are out there and care about the troops. The days can be very long and strenuous at times, but you and your organization has given me and my shipmates a constant reminder every time we lay our head down to go to sleep that someone has us in their thoughts and prayers. I send my heartfelt gratitude to you and all those like you for the much needed support!!!!

Feel free to email back.

Very Respectfully,
NC1(SW) Rxxxxxxx Txxxxxxx
