If you want to send a birthday gift, Treats for Troops will automatically divert your gift to a soldier with a birthday coming up. Billy from
US Army writes, "Thanks a lot for what you sent. We really don't have anything out here. I thank you more than you know. I am glad we are thought about. Thanks."
Can you imagine heartwarming feeling of receiving a personal thank you like that from Iraq? " Thank you so much! I got this package right after we got back from field. My buddies and I ate it all up. It made us feel a lot better. We all thank you." Nathaniel of US Army.
Jamie of USMC writes, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! That was best and most thoughtful care package I have ever received! I am so proud to be defending some of kindest people in our country. Thanks again. Love, Jamie"
Mark from US ARMY writes, "Receiving this gift from you has made my holiday season. You have made one very lonely jetflier very happy. Mark."
James from US Army serving in Afghanistan writes, "Sorry about not returning card you included with gift. It got messed up. I am in Army and originally from Oklahoma, even though I have spent most of my career overseas. Myself, as well as my tent mates really appreciated box. It is a good feeling to know people back home haven't forgotten us or what we do for our country. Thanks for all support, it will not be forgotten. God Bless, James."
The site also has a photo gallery of some of troops enjoying their gifts. All smiles, with their buddies, opening their surprise packages from home. It is so darn touching, I dare you not to cry.
Prices start at a dollar. Even if all you can send is a can of Pringles or a pound of salted sunflower seeds- they will all be appreciated and enjoyed.
I leave you with an excerpt from Treats for Troops website: "He's only eighteen. He did all right in high school, but not good enough to get somebody else to pay for college. But he wanted to make something of himself, maybe even do something important. So he joined army, and now it's their job to turn him into a man. He's giving it his all, and most of time he feels like he left kid he used to be back in Colorado. But not all time. Not today. This is first time he's ever been away from home, and even though he's never really alone, he's often lonely. Sometimes he wonders if people back in States are behind him. He'd like to know, because he's made a pledge to lay down his life to defend his country if he has to."
