I am a student at Pepperdine University.  My sorority sisters and I are deeply touched by soldiers, and are so grateful for their sacrifice for the country.  Initially the chapter decided to write letters to the soldiers ourselves. 

Every year, our chapter hosts a philanthropy day called Boot Camp.  Various clubs and organizations enter teams to compete for prizes; events include skits, obstacle courses, tug-of-war, and fitness tests.  Before hand, our women solicit businesses for support, and sell promotion T-shirts to students.  Proceeds support either Campfire USA, a leadership camp for disadvantaged children or to Camp Laurel, a camp for children affected by HIV/AIDS. 

A personal contact, Joe Finch, directed us to your organization.  After researching several options, the     chapter voted to give our letters to Landstuhl because it is such a worthy cause.  We then decided to tie in the army aspect to our philanthropy, and extend the opportunity to all of Pepperdine's campus.  While promoting our own philanthropy, our women also informed students of the Landstuhl Project.  We provided letter-writing materials and encouraged them to verbalize their support for our selfless troops. 

This package includes the letters of our own chapter, as well as those from Pepperdine students, faculty and staff.  Please send these to the soldiers that would most appreciate some encouraging notes from some West Coast kids.  They do so much: we wanted to at least say "Thank You"

Thank you very much.

Greetings from SE Michigan!  I'm taking this opportunity to say "Thank You!" for your dedication and service to the USA, for spreading the seeds of freedom and self-governance in OEF and OIF, and for ensuring that other regions remain stable during the many aspects of the GWOT. It is with gratitude and respect that I also extend a hearty "thank you" to your families on the home front who await your safe return with love, uncertainty and pride.  Your selfless resolve and endurance to volunteer for military service in the midst of war makes me humble and appreciate your sacrifices on behalf of us American citizens, to keep watch of your back and to support you through LHCP and other venues. Be well, safe, and strong!  Take care, Susan G-W

Dear Troops,

Thank you for your service to our country. We appreciate your dedication and commitment to the job of protecting our liberty, a job that few volunteer for but which all benefit.

In looking for ways to support the troops, we have selected LHCP because the organization serves all branches of the military and helps to meet the needs of the wounded. Both of our sons have committed to serve in our military (Marines and Army) and both of our oldest brothers were wounded in Vietnam. We honor their service with our support.

We have helped conduct drives for LHCP to collect needed items to send to LRMC, Iraq, Afghanistan, and VA facilities. Please know that there is support in communities across our country for our service men and women. Many people aren’t sure how to help, but when given opportunities and direction, they are most generous and appreciative.

With gratitude, Rachel & Larry H. in Minnesota

Dear Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines,

Hello from North Carolina!  I’m an Army brat, my father spent over 20 years in service, and I worked for the Navy a couple summers while in college.  For a couple years, I worked a job that took me to Camp LeJeune to interact with Marines there.  From all this, I have learned that there are no finer people than those in the United State’s military!   

I crochet blankets for LHCP, and since they are given to the patients at LRMC, I hope none of you reading this ever receive one!  Actually, I was a patient at LRMC when I was 9 years old and, as hospitals go, it was a good one.  The reason it was good was because of the caring and hard-working staff.

All of you have given so much for your country.  Please know that it is appreciated.  I can never completely understand the depth of your sacrifice, but I applaud your strength and commitment.  You’re the reason that I get to sleep safely at night.  So, thank you, and hugs to everyone!  My prayers are always with you.

God bless,

Hello and a big thank you to all who are serving now, to make it possible for me to continue with my own life here at home.

I look around every day, enjoying the beautiful summer scenery, and remind myself it's not so pleasant where you are. I'm really glad I've found a way, through the Landstuhl Hospital Project, to contribute to getting the things that are needed.

We are quite a military family: Air Force, Navy, Army, Coast Guard. I live in Oregon now, but I was born in Washington, so hi to any Washington folks too.

I am so grateful for the dedication and service that the men and women of our armed forces offer to keep the rest of us safe at home.

FROM SOUTH DAKOTA

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I feel that I may call you that because we have all had the honor to help defend and preserve these United States. As a veteran of Viet Nam I am humbled and honored to have such fine and un-selfish men and women continue serving our great nation in this time of need. I have the greatest admiration and respect for any person who heeds the call to service. The reasons you choose to serve matter only to you, the fact is you volunteered, and for that we as a nation are grateful.

As a decorated veteran, the most cherished honor I have received is when my sister and brother-in-law made a gift in honor of my military service to the  Landstuhl Hospital Care Project.  You may never meet meet my sister, as she is one of the countless volunteers that supports LHCP and doesn't ask for or expect recognition, but she is my hero.

Again, thanks to all people in uniform for what you are doing and have done to protect and serve our nation.  We will remember you, I most certainly will.

To my troop, I hope you know how much I and everyone else here at AFROTC Det 845 appreciate what you have done for our country.  I could have never asked for the sacrifice you chose to make.  I sincerely hope that as your wounds heal so will the wounded hearts that began this war in the first place.  I pray health be with you, T.F., DET 845, Fort Worth Texas.

What more can be said than thank you.  Than you for serving your country so courageously, thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for helping the US become the beacon of freedom around the world.  Your service does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.  You are the true American hero and when I commission into the Air Force in May it will be an honor to be allowed to serve with you. With deepest gratitude. Becky

Greetings,

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how very proud I am of you, and thank you for the incredible job you are doing.  It is never easy to answer the call to arms, to see you step up with honor, courage, dedication, selflessness, and integrity fills my heart with profound pride, love, respect, appreciation, and gratitude.  There simply aren't words to adequately thank you for all that you are, do, and give.

American remains strong, proud, and free because you stand so tall.  I will never take my freedom and its countless privileges for granted; or forget the price paid to win it.

I know that God has angels watching our back, they wear camouflage in Afghanistan, Iraq and through out the world.

I carry you in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. God speed.

Sincerely,
