I just received an absolutely wonderful package from your outstanding organization...God Bless PA!!! It is difficult to put in words how much the toiletries, snacks, etc. from everyone are appreciated!! Your devotion of time, energy and resources is such a morale boost for all the deployed troops. I can't tell you how excited my troops were when we opened the bags...please thank everyone that contributed to make the care packages...YOU GUYS ROCK :o} The box arrived in great condition and everything was more than appropriate. My scheduled return date is July 2008. Keep up the awesome job that you are doing. Hope you all have a great spring :o} God Bless, MSGT Amy ***

Reminder: Currently Letters From Home is not sending magazines or books to our troops overseas.
We also always are in need of sturdy sandwich size and snack size zip lock bags
to package the items in.
Also keep in mind, when making your cards of support, the soldiers don't like glitter all over the cards as it makes a mess in shipping. But please, remember to a man/woman overseas a LETTER FROM HOME is worth a million dollars. There is nothing better..

Dear Members of the Letters from Home Organization
Congratulations! Your website has been chosen to be put on Veterans Advantage’s Sites of Distinction Page. We would like to honor you for honoring United States Servicemen and women and their families. The staff members of Veterans Advantage troll the world wide web looking for websites that we feel do credible honor to great debt the United States owes to all Soldiers, Veterans and their families. We chose your website because your efforts to keep the morale of the troops abroad high are a great service to our troops and the nation. Your site joins a varying group of sites, such as AnySolider.com, TAPS.org, CFSRF.com and many more.
For being chosen as a Site of Distinction, your website, and all the good that your organization does will be linked to the Site of Distinction main page and your site will remain on our website for an entire year.

Congratulations and thank you for all that you do to serve those who serve the nation.
