Hello my name is
AIC AA. I am talking over the donatons for the CASF, along with
Sra DR. I just wanted to write and tell you thank you very
much for all the sweat pants you have sent over! They are being
used and all the patients are happy that we can supply them with
their size and we are grateful that we have some one like you to
supply us with as many as you have! Thank you for

Thanks again for all your support. I have
a question for you. There is an organization that makes a water
purification device that can produce roughly a million gallons
of water for about $50 a shot. I know that we have used them
here, and we have also been distributing them to the local
populace with great effects, this device has the potential to
help us win the fight over the insurgents in this area one
village at a time. We are currently exploring all avenues of
approach to try and get any organization to help us buy them up.
I saw in your email that you on occasion order items in bulk,
this would be an invaluable buy to keep us safe, settle the
region, and earn the trust of the local populace. If this is not
your cup of tea, I completely understand and I am still
extremely grateful for all of your support thus far. I will take
any winter items, jackets, sweaters, blankets, sheets etc. Also,
any undergarments t-shirts, boxers. And any shoes you want to
send. Thanks again.

Hope things are going your way. I wanted
to let you know how much your thoughtfulness has meant to me. My
wife got the box of presents for her and my kids yall sent on my
behalf. I have done my share of deployments and it is my honor
to serve other military going down range by distributing all the
goodies and care packages we receive.
I have
never had anyone do anything as special as what yall did for me
and my family! It is one thing to take care of me, but it means
soooo much more to me when you take care of my family.
My wife
has her hands full with a 15 y/o, a 1 y/o and currently
pregnant. Thank you for making our Christmas extra special in my
absence. I thank God for people like you who touch lives and
truly make a difference. I promise you I will follow your
example and continue to pass extraordinary kindness on to
others. Thank you for being who you are and all you do.

If you have any left over Christmas stuff, like stockings or
decorations that would be nice. Being here in the winter time, I
know the immune system boosters that dissolve in water (like

Hope things are going your way. I have received your shipment
here. We cannot thank you enough. Today the Chaplin and I put
the things you sent in the back of the truck and drove around
finding Airmen, Soldiers and Marines who are headed down range
to very dangerous and secluded places. We handed out everything
you sent. I wish you could see the look in their eyes as they
said to tell you thank you. All the PJs you sent we gave to our
hospital here for our patients.
You and LHCP connected with them and made them feel special and
appreciated. I took some pictures and will send them once I get
them downloaded.
You truly embody the meaning of making a difference! Thank you
for being who you are and what you do...it is truly appreciated
over here.
Have a wonderful day.

Greetings from

Fall is upon us and it is time, once again, to send updated
lists of items that are most frequently requested at the
Chaplain's Closet. A list of "not needed" items is also
attached.
On behalf of the wounded service
members who come through the Chaplain's Closet, I send sincere
and gracious thanks for your continued support. I wish you
could see the surprise and gratitude from each and every
soldier, sailor, airman or marine who leaves the Closet with a
duffle bag filled with clothes, shoes, toiletries, homemade
blankets, socks, sweets, and more. They are blown away by your
kindness and generosity. Each one balks at taking too much in
case the person coming after them has a greater need. I am
truly humbled to volunteer for this organization and I thank
you for continuing to send the boxes!
Thank you and please let me know
if you have any questions,

Until we get home please keep praying for

soldiers, but no deaths. That was a miracle, and an incredible
feat for the medics and aviators to work their magic taking care
of so many patient. Our surgical hospital was overrun. The war
is very real. So thanks for your love, support, and prayers to
the end. |

Hello Everyone,
Those of you who are family, you know I have not been in touch
for close to five days. Others of you who are friends
throughout the country, I also wanted to share this with you.
Our blackout has ended, but the enormity of the tragedy will
live on for a long, long time.
Here is the
reader's digest version. Early
SAT morning,
as probably all of you know from reading and seeing the
national news accounts, a Chinook was shot down in our general
area, one province over. The focus was on the Navy seals and
other special operations guys. I can see why in light of the
national security significance. Lost in the headlines were the
five members of the aircrew. Well, it turns out the five
members of the aircrew were part of our unit. They were not
Fort Drum
soldiers, but a slice element, Chinook pilots and crew from
the NG/USAR units in the heartland. The NG unit just arrived
less than two weeks ago, while the USAR folks have been with
us a little over two months. Once the guard and reserve
soldiers arrive to serve a larger task force, they become part
of the family. Of course these units do not have their own
chaplains or doctors or other support, so those of us in the
special staff sections take care of them. I have been able to
get to know several of them in the past few weeks because they
connect with me through the spiritual dimension and the family
situations.
We did a massive memorial ceremony yesterday. I will wait
several days to send out a few generic pictures, in deference
to the families. This is the last thing I wanted to have
happen toward the end of our tour, the beginning of theirs. It
tells you about the mysteries of life and death and the true
horrors of war. I shared from the heart and hope that my words
and presence have been an encouragement to them. Our command
team worked hard on a short timeline to put together a
wonderful display of love for them. Thanks for your continued
support and prayers for the families who are left without
fathers and husbands during this time.
I cannot wait to get home. Less than ten weeks out. Reunion
will be sweet, but filled with these memories. Take care
everyone.
Jerry

Here are a few pictures from the baptism
event we conducted the other night. I handled the five civilian
contractors, including two from the Philippines. It was a neat
event and brought back memories of Family Day at xx when we did
the baptisms in front of loved ones. Thanks everyone for your
thoughts and prayers. We are still in a war zone. One of my
senior chaplain assistants in a sister brigade (E7, Sergeant
First Class) was fairly seriously injured on SUN afternoon when
a rocket came and hit their building (the other side of the
B-Hut). She was knocked forward and has a concussion and some
eye issues. Another xxx feet to the xxx and their office could
have been destroyed and her and her chaplain could have been
more seriously wounded.

Thank you we received another 5 boxes
today. Our warmer and our shelves are now full. I also talked to
1LT today, she and I work together here. After seeing our
shipment yesterday she mentioned she recently made a request for
blankets, pillowcases and sheets. I do not know what may already
be in process of being shipped to her.
We "transload" patients often from three other FSTs in our
province as well as receive patients from outlying FOBs/COPs. If
we ever get to a point where we have to much with your
permission we will send boxes and items by helicopter to these
outlying FOBs/COPs.

Ms. Grimond, thank you!! and a big
thank you to all of your staff and volunteers. We received 5
boxes from you all today. This is huge. We received pillow
cases, blankets, sheets, magazines, cards of well wishes,
colored pencils and drawing paper, phone cards. WOW. You
fulfilled a huge need. Just yesterday we had what is recorded as
a MASCAL.
Once it was over we started restocking shelves and blanket
warmers and realizing what we are missing/low on.
This morning as we discharged our last patient the boxes came.
Three of my nurses, one of our surgeons and I went about
distributing these new items. It was peaceful work and we thank
you for it.
We had three soldiers come through today all well and happy but
they took a pillowcase with them (they had been using t-shirts).
Tomorrow in our morning meeting we will mention the items sent
and most importantly I will read the memorial that was included
on the box.
Thank you for supporting us all, |

I need to tell you thank you sooo much.
I have received 21 boxes of pillows and blankets. I have
distributed a large number of the pillows to the nursing wards
for patient use, I have distributed to the regimental aid
station for the wound warriors, and I have given some to the
staff for their personal use. Everyone was so thankful,
especially those down at the regimental aid station. I felt like
Santa…. It was great!!!! But I cannot take the credit; it was
your organizations generosity that makes it happen.
I cannot thank you
enough….
At the end of my
deployment time here, I will have some lasting memories and a
good part of those memories are the donations that we received
from you. It is what separates us from the others .
Thank YOU!

Just wanted to let you know we received
the boxes yesterday and they were a big hit with all the
soldiers.
I cannot say thank you enough for the
time and energy you and your volunteers put into this project.
It means a lot to all the soldiers
especially to ours who serve in remote areas where there is no
PX to buy needed supplies and mail is often delayed for weeks
due to weather conditions and resources.
Thank You!!

background
information: this unit has a lot of excess supplies that
has become a burden for them. LHCP is helping them find
other units to distribute their excess supplies to in the Middle
East. They were in need of some clogs for wounded which LHCP
sent.
My unit has been swamped with patients
this past week, but I managed to get the boxes together...I will
send out some to xx tomorrow and then I'll get more to send out
to xx this week.
I have received the clogs and I have
gotten tons of compliments on them. Thank you so much.
Since we have been so busy..we almost
went through a box. If it is possible to send another box
sometime this month, I would greatly appreciate it. I have about
8 boxes going to xx between tomorrow and the next day. I will
send out that same amount to xx later this week.
Thank you again.

Thank you for all you do and for
developing and managing such a wonderful program. Anything you
can send would be greatly appreciated. We do receive USO
packages containing goodies and personal hygiene items but we
really have a need for blankets and towels. We unfortunately
have a limited capacity to washing laundry so a lot of these
items have to be throw out. We also see a great deal of
pediatric patients so any clothing in ped sizes would also be
helpful.
I noted you have a CFC charities number which is awesome. It
seems whenever we donate to CFC only the big charities
stand-out. I will pass your number along and look forward to
donating to it next time around.
Thanks Again. |

Our Dear Friends,
Once again, and
my last time, I want to express our deepest and sincere
gratitude for all the wonderful array of items you have sent us.
The chux, which have always been a much appreciated commodity,
were distributed throughout the hospital. The clogs were a
big hit and we gave them to the ward for the patients. I
have to say we have Catholic mass here on Saturday night.
I looked down at the patient's feet and they were wearing your
clogs. The valentine decorations were appreciated by both
staff and patients alike.
Again, we are so
appreciative of your many, many gifts you have donated to the
hospital on behalf of our sick and wounded. Words can
never express fully our gratitude and affection we have for your
organization. As always, we are most keenly aware of the
sacrifice in time, effort, and money you wonderful Americans
have spent on us. |

Just some of the many
chux LHCP has sent us.We have them stored on shelves, window
sill or any where else we can find room. Again, THANK YOU! |

change slightly, as a new unit will replace us (*we will update
@ that
point). Your points of contact will be CPT xx and SFC xx (USA).
They will continue with the clinical

2011 and then return to CONUS as my mission will be done

Our Dear
Friends
Once
again, we are so appreciative of your many, many gifts
you have donated to the hospital on behalf of our sick
and wounded. We could never have enough of those
wonderful chux you send us! The snack bags were a
huge hit with the soldiers who visit our hospital on a
daily basis. The blankets and sheets are the best!
As you know, the laundry service leaves something to be
desired plus our wounded get wrapped in the blankets on
their trip to Landstuhl.
As
always, we are most keenly aware of the financial
sacrifice, time, and effort expended by you patriots and
could not be as successful as we are without people such
as yourself. As always, we are forever grateful.
