I have seen lots of letters and pictures depicting the joy these care packages give our troops. I have met some of the troop members after they returned home from their deployment and heard how happy and grateful they are to have been included in the program that sends them care boxes.
I would give them as much financial support as I could so they can continue to do all the wonderful work they do in the support of our troops
I have received e-mails from troop members who have received my scarves . In addition I have seen the results posted on the web site and they are all very impressive. I also had the privilege of meeting Sgt. Cowie who once was a recipient of a care package sent to her by Operation Gratitude. I have been present at several shipping events when thousands of care boxes are shipped in a single day. The positive impact of this great organization is huge and should be recognized in this contest.
Help them with a huge tent to store their pallets of donated goods during the rainy season so they would not have to hand cover each pallet with plastic sheeting.
My pre-kindergarten class learned about Captain Erik through sending him pictures and cards with good wishes and he responded by telling us how his men were fixing a broken school and using our pictures & cards for decorations. All the parents, others teachers, and I were thrilled to hear about positive news from the war zone. We learned that he shared the toys & candy with Iraqi children.
It makes me want to cry to learn that the government doesn't help defray the cost of postage for mailing the 600,000 boxes that have been sent. My Delta Kappa Gamma Educational Society raised money to help pay postage. It costs $15 per box. Also why does the government insist on an written itemization for each box? I wouldn't change Operation Gratitude, only the gov't!!!
A variety of ways including emails from the military in the field sent directly to us and visits to the Armory upon their return. In addition, we see the response to our packages in the Mail Call section of our website.

The children's enjoyment and thank you cards from soldiers.
change nothing.
I don't support the wars, but I support our troops, and I'm so thankful that Operation Gratitude provides such an amazing opportunity for me to do what I can to give back to such brave men and women.
Do nothing! They are so efficient and well-organized already!
...in the heart-felt letters received by our troops or their commanders.
Find a bigger location and more volunteers and more donors so that we could send out even more packages!
Thank you emails from dozens of deployed troops who take the time to let us know they received our package and what they did about it.
Help them secure more protected storage areas for the donations and the processing.
I just know that our friend in Afghanistan, 3/5 Marines and his unit have received your packages and were thrilled!
Can't think of any....
Hearing from friends serving overseas who have received the care packages.
Nothing!
Attended several volunteer days and major milestone events.
