Testimonials

Thank Yous & Angel Stories

Soldiers' Angels is always thrilled to hear from our heroes and those we are working so hard to support and encourage.  Most of our Team and Project pages include Thank Yous, but we've collected a few here, too.  You can also read Angels' stories about their experiences adopting and supporting America's service members.  If you have been supported by Soldiers' Angels, you can leave your own testimonial or thank you here.

As we prepare to board our plane in four days for the long trip home, we think back to all the letters, cards, packages, and special memories that we received from back home.  If it was not for the support we received, we would not have been able to make it through this year the way we have. - CPT K in Afghanistan, August 2012

The heat (about 120 degrees lately), sand and separation from family can slowly wear a Soldier down, so packages like yours keep me motivated.  Especially when they have awesome snacks inside! - Chaplain CPT Chad C. in Kuwait, August 2012

While I was in Iraq, I was injured pretty bad.  During my flight for life, all of my clothes were cut off in order to insure proper operation on my wounds.  Your foundation gave me a shirt and pair of shorts that I greatly appreciated.  I never had a chance to say thank you, so I'm saying it now. Thank you for giving me something when I felt like I had nothing. - Anonymous soldier, July 2012

Knowing that we have the prayers and support of the citizens back home makes every day a little easier.  Y'all truly make a difference in our lives. - SPC Matt P, June 2012

Thank you so much for the tremendous outpouring of support I received through all the cards, letters and packages.  I have since redeployed back home to Virginia but will continue to support your efforts.  Thank you again for all you do. - COL Gary K., July 2012

I have been truly overwhelmed with the generosity that has been shown by total strangers from home.  It warms my heart to feel loved from so far away.  I cannot begin to tel you how truly grateful I am. - Michelle in Afghanistan, June 2012

"We got a guitar yesterday from Soldiers Angels!!! Complete with some cool Soldiers Angles picks! WOW!!! The soldier on mail duty was so excited to bring it in! It was instantly opened up, and the chapel was full of music all evening long. In the first evening, I've already sat down with two soldiers for some guitar lessons. And I haven't even let people know we have a new guitar to play. One soldier started playing a little song, a gentle little melody. We asked what he was playing. He said he would be turning it in to a song for his wife when she sees him again! Great moment! Thank you for ALL you do! It is HIGHLY appreciated." - CH (MAJ) Ben S. in Afhganistan, January 2012

Thank you Soldier's Angels! I've been deployed for nearly six months and your Angels have been sending letters, and just yesterday I received a package from a lovely lady from Topeka, Kansas...I would like to be a Soldier's Angel when I return back to Panama City Beach, Florida in two weeks. - Shannon in Afghanistan, January 2012

I just wanted to say thank you again to our amazing angels that made Christmas possible for my babies this year!!!! It means the world to us!!! & thank you Soldiers' Angels Christmas adoption program!!! - Military Wife Steffy, December 2011

Thank you for what you are/have done for the troops. You can't imagine how good it is to know that there are web sites like this out there FILLED with people who care. - Clay in Afghanistan, December 2011

Thank you so much. I was really tired until I got a package from your organization. Now I'm excited like a little kid. Thanks all of you for doing this. - Stephen in Afghanistan, December 2011

These past few months have been rough and unfortunately we've had some casualties during out tour here in Afghanistan...We move a lot and there has been months were we have had to live out of just our rucksacks or trucks. It was a great morale boost for everyone to get mail and with everyone that sent us something….Sometimes one of my soldiers wouldn't receive mail from home, but I was always able to make sure they all got something thanks to you.  – SSG Eric, December 2011

It was a little humbling to ask for help, a little hard not to know how we would make this Christmas, but a complete reminder of Gods goodness and grace shown through your Angels that the details are all getting taken care of. - Military Wife Rachel, December 2011

Your letters, emails, and care packages always brought a smile to my face. Thank you so much...It's awesome to feel the support from back home, it reminds of why we're really out here. - Angie, December 2011

Thank you so much for what you do.  You help me and my soldiers out here with every package we receive!  It is great to have your support! We all love you out here!! - Stephanie in Afghanistan, December 2011

I cannot tell you how much it means to me to know that there are Americans that appreciate what I do, albeit a small part of the whole.  I would be proud to take a bullet for any Soldier's Angel - and when I signed up I knew that it might be needed...Thank you again for your organization, the wonderfully warm people you attract to your cause, and for all you do in showing us love! - De La Hayes in Afghanistan, December 2011.

When I was helping my boyfriend move into his new apartment over Veteran's Day weekend, I stumbled across the Soldiers' Angels bag he received when he was hospitalized due to combat injuries. I thought you might appreciate that--even a couple of years later--he still uses it all the time. But mostly, I want to thank you and your Angels for being there for him when he came home. I didn't know him then, but when I picked up that bag and saw your logo, I couldn't help but smile...Thank you so much for all that you do. - A military girlfriend and Angel, December 2011

You have no idea how much it means to us when soldiers are shown that people do care and that they are appreciated. Care packages help them to keep a connection to people back here in the states and to make their day a better one. - Wife of a Deployed Soldier, November 2011

You know it's going to be a good day when you get mail.  When you get a package, it's a great day.  When you get seven packages, all from Soldiers' Angels, your week gets--if you'll pardon the Vulgate vernacular--a buttload better. - MAJ Z in Afghanistan on getting packages for his Soldiers, November 2011

Angels come through again! My wife and her unit are in Afghanistan and they just received a big shipment of coffee and creamer! She was so excited! I could hear the joy in her voice when she called. Thanks so much for making her and the guys feel great! You have no ideal just how much of a morale boost you gave them today! You're the best! - CSM Quigley, AKARNG, November 2011

I ordered a deployment package for my son the day they left for Afghanistan, knowing the mail would take a while to find him. I could just close my eyes and see his smile when I asked this morning on the IM if it had arrived?  "I got a package from Soldiers' Angels the other day it was loaded with stuff. It was nice."  Thank you!! I live too far from town to buy him very much and I want to help in so many different ways and donate when I can.  YOU have been the organization and the port hole between our worlds! I have been a PROUD part of S.A. and my son knows it! Stay strong Angels, we can do it!! And thank you for being there for this ARMY Mom! - Soldiers' Angel Kaye, October 2011

Being both a member of Soldiers' Angels and a currently-deployed soldier myself, I can't say thank you enough for this organization...I never truly understood how significant it is to get mail--from family, friends, even a complete stranger. Just knowing someone back home is thinking of you, missing you, loving you, and supporting you can mean the difference between a great deployment, and a miserable one. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.  - Nicole in Afghanistan, October 2011

I returned from Afghanistan two weeks ago...I just want to say thank you to everyone who showed support to me and those who continue to support us. You have no idea how much one little card, letter or package can make such a big difference when we're so far away from home. THANK YOU. - Shantella, October 2011

As an army wife whose husband is currently deployed, I do come across times when I feel alone, especially with my son constantly talking about his daddy, but with everything Soldiers' Angels do and the support that is out there, I know I never am. - Erin

A huge shout out and gigantic "thank you" to all the Angels that have made such a beautiful difference in the life of my son and me. Your amazing love, support and encouragement mean so VERY much to us during a young man's first time being away from home and so lonely...What an amazing feeling it is, just knowing there are so many of you our there supporting my child!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! - Gina, Soldiers' Mother

I used Soldiers' Angels while i was deployed back in 2008. You are all amazing. Besides the wonderful care packages, i received wonderful letters, and made a few great friends along the way. I had a few hardships before deployment, but the people of this organization helped me push through. I thank all of you. from the bottom of my heart - Chrystal Smith, October 2011

Thank you for your support to the troops. You guys make such a huge difference in the morale level here and there is no way to ever repay you. - SGT Bailey in Afghanistan, October 2011

I'd like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. Helping out my fellow brothers and myself while we are away from home is truly a blessing. We are all very appreciative of anything that is sent over from the states. Having a piece of home while we are gone is always such a comfort. - SGT Foster in Afghanistan, October 2011

I am extremely grateful for all of the support that is provided from your organization. In these harsh times while we are away from family and friends your warm thoughts and support provide us with the motivation and inspiration to make it through the day, into the next. - SFC Maiten in Afghanistan, October 2011

Thank you for being there for me while I was in Iraq, your support means more than you will ever know. - Larry

The packages I received from all of you made those particularly rough days worth it.  When I first signed up for Soldier's Angels, I had no expectations of receiving anything, but was quickly blown away by all of the love and support sent to my team and I from our fellow Americans!!  Imagine my surprise when we would return to base after a few weeks for a mail call only to be greeted by wonderful packages!  Those days felt like Christmas. - SSG Reyna in Afghanistan, September 2011

There is no way to fully express our gratitude for your loyalty.  We at the 1165th Military Police Company are continually inspired by the dedication and generosity of donors like you who answer the call to give again and again. - CPT Courtney D. Pullam in Afghanistan, September 2011

I received your care package...I am doing my best trying to saty safe, but your card and kind words took me away from reality over here, which is good when you just want to get away.  I can never say thank you enough for all that you do.  I will continue to fight and keep America in my prayers.  I won't forget what you have done. - "C" in Afghanistan, September 2011
