Strangers...

December is now upon us and the holiday care packages have started showing up. Yesterday, we received a huge load of packages from our docs spouse. Her husbands company sent each one of us a care package. Afterward, we met up at the base chapel where the chaplain surprised us with more care packages. These were provided by a bunch of churches back in the states. Nice touch. The packages contained toiletries, candy, snack food, socks and Christmas knick knacks. What really did it was that many of them included notes and cards from children. Their words reminded us as to why we are out here. What impresses me is that many of these "strangers" do not have anyone that is serving in the military and yet they are taking the time and their money to do this for us.
God Bless America.
