Aloha Ohana,
Just want to let you all know that what you're doing for us back home echoes great joy for us here in Kabul, Afghanistan.

- I've seen the results of this organization in... The time and care volunteers back home gives to deployed US forces.

- My experience would have been better if... there are also Multi National Forces here that work with us, ie romanian army, danish navy, etc, etc. I think receiving a care package from the US would be something they will never forget.

This is an outstanding orgnaization that has taken the time to reach out to deployed service members. It means that world to each of us to get a box full of goodies from the home front. The support is phenomenal and it is the thoughtfulness that keeps us motivate to keep pushing through to accomplish the mission. I happened to receive a couple of boxes while deployed to Kabul Afghanistan.

When I was serving in the Middle East I was at my lowest. My family all died when I was younger so I had no one supporting me. When mail was called, I was the only one in my unit that knew there would be nothing for me; not everyone received things but at least they had that hope. Not me, I knew no one even cared that I was serving my country far from home.
But, one day that changed. When my friend came back from picking up mail, he had a huge smile as he laid a box on the foot of my cot. I told him he’d made a mistake but he pointed to my name on the label and said, “Isn’t that you?”
I couldn’t believe it but man, I cried like a baby when I realized it wasn’t a dream. Someone knew. Someone cared. It was from the Oklahoma City chapter of The Hugs Project and their letter said that they appreciated me and that they respected me for the job I was doing. Reading that, I cried even harder.
You can never know how good I felt and still feel even now. I hope that someday, I can meet some of these good people so that I can throw my arms around their necks and let them know that they made a difference in the life of some lonely soldiers far from home…especially this one.
Respectfully,

The Hugs Project has given me a way to personally thank the men and women who are serving our country and facing danger to make certain our country remains safe. My late friend Jim Johnson was able to have his son placed on the list of brave men who received boxes. His son shared his gifts with those who served with him. Jim was proud of his son and grateful to an organization who let us volunteer to show those serving our country our pride in them and our gratitude for them. Robert B. Weil

- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... make certain that each member of our services had whatever could be provided to make them more comfortable and safer. They could give treats to enjoy and to share with the children and families they meet in their assigned duties.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... fund raising and advertising. People are so busy that it is hard for them to remember that The Hugs Project is a year round organization working for the morale of the troops.
I am currently deployed to Iraq and they have sent my unit packages for every Holiday and even just random care pacakages. Everything they send is useful and really boosts the morale of the unit. It is great to see a group of people that are this supportive of the troops, keep up the good work!
