Reminder to write Crystal! Being deployed sucks!

So glad she received her stuff! I love seeing her . I know you will be glad when she gets home. I hope I have the honor of meeting her one day. Tell her to stay safe!

Thank you Allison! I sent her a screenshot of your post so she has been told!

I got a card, letter & some photographs from Crystal today. She stated yet again how much she marvels at & is amazed by all of the love & generosity shown by this forum. Here is a digital pic taken of one of the photographs she sent (some of you will also be receiving photos from Crystal)...

Since I travel, my mail goes to my daughter in Washington State. She just sent me photos of the note and photos Crystal sent! Fun!

Sent Crystal a note this morning....Did get a nice note from her after my first
note to her. Hope she has time to do her work with all the 'notes' she is getting and sending.

Here's Crystal's text reply:
"Here are things I can use:
Tortilla chips; Fritos; Dark chocolate almond milk 8oz containers; sugar free hot cocoa packets; Dr. McDougalls Vegan Chicken Flavored Ramen soup cups; Orgain Organic Protein Plant based powder; I know Anita sent the box of Choc chip chia Kashi bars but I can always use more of those too.
I honestly don't need much else. The snacks help a ton! Everyone has been unreal with their support!!!! I'm blown away at their generosity!"

Ok, just clicked "send" on the next goodie box. I threw in a few of the tortilla chips (of various type) and some cocoa, and the rest of it is a surprise! Even if she doesn't like all of it, she can share and trade and bribe some of her co-workers.

You have to give that girl kudos for spirit - how you can have such a beautiful smile working in place like that takes some serious will power!

Good job Dad

@Tripod, got this from Crystal today. She did NOT have to do that, it was enough for her to take a picture to show she got the package. You have a great young lady there, sir.

If you PM me her email in-country, I'll reply to her letter, from my official work email if needed.

Crystal received this package from @KayTwo of healthy chips she had wanted; also, hot cocoa mix. She loves it! Thank you Brother!

She received a Commanding Officer's coin today for her outstanding service:

You go girl!
Man that girl Rocks - you sure you are her dad?
She seems to take thing more seriously than you

Congrats old man - I am sure you are proud as hell

Then, from @Spudinator & his wife, she received a mountain of beef jerky, a letter & some other items to share with her coworkers. Simply awesome... Thank you!!!

"My co-workers were impressed. I did share some of the beef jerky...as there is no way I can consume all of it, but I did keep some for me & my roommate. So grateful!"
