I mailed 70 pillowcases to an army unit in October and a navy mom mailed 10. Got a picture of Jeremy today. His wife gave permission to post it.
Sue, Here's a current picture of Jeremy, the young man that we mailed the
80 pillowcases to. "Thank you Sue & all" for thinking/supporting us. Jer
Hope you enjoy the pic Sue. Carol And the 2nd picture is some of the pillowcases that were sent.

Hi Sue & HAE members,
I had the chance to spend some time with Jeremy & his family last weekend &
thought I'd pass this along to everyone.
As you may recall Jeremy is the one we sent 80 p.cases to when he was in the
mountains of Afghan.
He wanted me to be sure to pass this along to everyone. He told me again how
thankful they were/are for the time/energy/caring that went into the p.cases.
"It means so much to know people back home care."
He also told me that many of the soldiers there were from a small country
called Latvia just southwest of Russia. They were all sooo excited to receive
them AND he said "the smell was absolutely wonderful". He asked whatever it
was we used to always use it. He laughed when he told me they just couldn't
smell them enough. (Considering they went 4 to 6 weeks without showering I
can only imagine how nice it was to smell something clean.) He told me it was
truly like holding a piece of home & the wonderful smell "carried us away".
So, again thank you & now we have p.cases in yet another country!!!
Carol in Colorado
Doesn't this give you goosebumps? the photo is Jeremy and the pcs that were sent. I actually all the ones in the forefront. The unit was from SD, so had to do a corn one.
Oone other note. This young man was out of touch for weeks once and it was quite a bit of concern because of the region and terrain. He was in one of the FOB and this really brings home what we are doing. -

Wow--this is touching. My grandfather was from that area (Estonia) . I know where Latvia is. How funny about it smelling good. What we take for granted.
