Click on the highlight below to hear what he has to say:
Here's an excerpt from a diary written by a one of our volunteers who is a frequent presence in the dailykos community, Ilona Meagher. She has extensive experience in working with veterans through Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
"What a great honor for me, to get a chance to do this. I want to thank all of you who've made NFTT into the positive force that it is....being there in spirit and/or contribution is a nourishment for the soul -- and the goal, too. So, please join in, in whatever way you can. Every little bit helps."
This is a thank you letter we received from one of the soldiers who received a Care package:
"It warms my heart to know that people take the time, money, and effort to pack and ship a box 8000 miles across barren land with only the hope that it bring a smile to someone's face. You will never know how much your support means to all of us, how a bite into your favorite candy bar can
bring you home."
