Packages From Home,
I received an OUTSTANDING care package from your organization today, and I just wanted to say Thank you!! There are so many people out there who constantly show us their support and I cannot tell you how much it means to us!
I am a NAVY Search and Rescue swimmer, currently 4 months into my year tour here in Kabul, Afghanistan. My friends and family always ask me if there is anything I need and I usually tell them, most of the snacks and stuff we receive out here are from outside sources, from people who just want to show they care. So it saves my family from having to do any extra shopping, Thank you!! Please pass this to anyone who may want to read it. Thank you again!!

 On November 18th, I received the following request from one of the units in Iraq:
"Above is an MP unit who has some special needs and I was wondering if there is any way you can assist them. You are the only person I know who could help us out! They are in desperate need of some bicycles, 10 speed or mountain bicycles. They need 3 of them. If at all possible could you maybe assist them?"
If you have a bicycle that meets their needs, is in good condition, and you’d like to donate it, please contact

This will be a long letter. I wanted to illustrate a typical week in the life of the 40th ADT so everyone will have a good idea of what we do and who is receiving the care packages you put together. There is no way I can reference everyone in the ADT in this letter, but I’m going to talk about a few people by name just so you’ll know that we are real people here.
This letter highlights the week of December 14th thru the 19th when 24 members of the 64 member 40th ADT (Agricultural Development Team) went north to conduct a watershed survey and a health fair for farm animas. The wealth of rural Afghanistan is in its farm animals. People may not own any land and live in a tent, but they can be wealthy in animals. If disease strikes these animals a family could not only be poverty stricken over night they can also starve.

 They say an army travels on its stomach, but in Afghanistan our troops are finding that a lack of socks makes traveling difficult. In fact, they don’t have much of anything in the way of hygiene products (anyone have an old Sears Catalog we could send for toilet paper?). We’re doing what we can, and you can help. Here’s a short list of much-needed items:
