Guest Book

Great to see you, Jim and Andy, at the 'Garden' Sure hope our flag issues can be resolved. Be sure to let all of New England know just how proud they should be for the support they show our troops. A special thank you to Mr. Hayes for his help in facilitating the event on Feb. 2nd, I'm sure it will spur more awareness and prayers and keep the hope alive!

Great job NECFOM! I am a a small business owner in Andover, Mass. I am very thankful for the sacrifice the men and women of our military give each and every day. It is through their sacrifice that I have the freedom to a have a business. For that, I am forever thankful.

Hi I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you that sent my husbands troop 2 very generous care packages.When I signed him and some members of his troop up a month or two back, I've got to say I didn't expect such a generous care package for all of the guys.My husband informed me that he had received two very big boxes from you all and he didn't know, I signed them up for this, but then I told him about you here online.They are extremely greatful for what you have done for them and so are us wives.My husband and I are from Lawrence and Methuen and it makes us very proud to say these packages came from our hometown.I love what you are doing for our men and women over there in harms way.If me or my FRG can be of any assistance to your program, please do not hesitate to ask.We try and do as much as we can for our Alpha troop, and we get everyone including the families involved as much as we can, even though they are so far away from us here in Hawaii.We take care of our single soldiers as well as our married ones.I just wanted to say thank you, the care packages are very thoughtful.Our guys thank you too, from the bottom of their hearts.Sincerely,Dawn Bean. Proud wife of a OH-58 pilot stationed in Iraq.

I would like to extend my gratitude for your wonderful web site you have created for our "Soldiers" who are fighting for our freedom and of course their families too. My heartfelt feelings go out to all the families who have lost their loved ones or the ones which are now serving in our Military.

God Bless them and may God send them back to their families soon.

J Trainer

Just wanted to say I think that what you do is fantastic. When I saw your booth at the fair today I bought my first ever magnet ribbon for my truck because I could tell the money actually did something for our troops, not for some store owners bottom line. My son is an MP in Baghdad, a fact that scares the heck out of me, but makes me proud all the time.

Keep up the good work!

Ken King

Thanks from a soldier to everyone who participates in this work you do for us. We do appreciate it and thank every one of you who brings a little bit of joy to our lives over here no matter how small the contribution is.

Spc Matthew Katz

It is wonderful how you support all of us here. Being here in Iraq, I see how much it means when a package arrives for a soldier who does not get mail. I hope all of you know how much it helps let the troops know that you are there for them. Thank you for all you do.

I would like to express our extreme gratitude to you and all of the volunteers of your organization. You are an american of the most outstanding character and a true american hero. It brings smiles to the faces of soldiers when they recieve things from perfect strangers who go out of there way to better our time here.

I read the artctiles on your webpages about your flag displays I will be home on leave in Febuary me and my wife will be traveling to Massachusetts for a few days during my leave and I plan to see your flag displays these are one of the things that make you our hero you are not afraid to show your love of soldiers and you dont quit even when others try to stand in your way in that sense you are a soldier at heart you put your mission first and you never quit just like us. If there is any thing I can do for your organization please let me know I would be honored to help.

I just want to say, all the way from Iraq, "Thank You" to my family back in Connecticut for their undying love and support.

Love always, Jeni

Hello, my name is John Sakowicz and I am a Marine currently deployed to Iraq. I was a fortunate recipient of a beautiful Polarfleece Blanket from a care package sent by your organization. I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your support. After reading the letter enclosed I realized what a small world we live in. All the places mentioned on it were familiar. I was born in Lawrence and graduated from Central Catholic in 1980. Ever since, I have chosen to serve my country as a Marine. I am proud to be a Marine and just as proud of everyone who supports us like you. Thank you and God bless.

John Sakowicz September 22, 2006

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the incredible support and generosity you gave throughout the year and with our homecoming.

The bridges decorated and the banners welcoming us back home were awesome! Also, I greatly appreciated the folder with the pictures,letter and card. It's nice to know someone back home supports us in the manner that you did.

We have been out here for sometime now and we are constantly in conditions of incertainty.As soon as we get letters and packages in the mail from ordinary or I should say extraordinary people like from your organization it puts us back in touch with why we are here and what we are fighting for. The support we have back home is very uplifting and satisfying and something I never would have imagined. Thank you for your support.

Fortunately, my time here is theater is nearly over and later this week I will begin the long process of pulling out and rotating back to the states. It's been nearly a year since I was last there. I ahve ensured that the items and materials that you sent are distributed amongst the soldiers that are replacing us. Thanks again for all your support and help.

SFC Pierre Pion on March 22, 2006

Just wanted to let you know that we appreciate the time, money and effort your organization has spent in sending us items to share with the children of Afghanistan as well as with the American troops here in Southern Afghanistan. Your donations are received by a small team of U.S. soldiers tasked with training and mentoring the Afghan National Army (ANA) units, with a goal of assisting the country of Afghanistan in building a truly professional and self-sufficient military organization. In this role, we have a rare and amazing opportunity to interact with rural Afghans on a regular basis and thus able to deliver your donations directly into the hands of many children. I want to ensure you that your donations are bringing many smiles to some of the most impoverished communities in the region, if not the world.

We continue to receive an extremely generous supply of food items, clothing, toys and school supplies every week from individuals, businesses, and organizations across the globe. Our team will continue to do our best in making sure these items are delivered to those most in need. Thanks again and please share our gratitude with anyone who has helped with this charity.

Captain Andre Sison on March 21, 2006

Thank you for all you do for the troops! They must not be forgotten and neither should their families.

We as soldiers get thanks but it is you as civilians, family members, friends and relatives....just people going out of their way to do something nice for the sake of seeing that a person far away from home and the comforts of it are taken care of and loved. I want to say thank you to you all because if not for you, I don't think we would be able to perform our mission with as much hope as you give us. Thank you!
