On July 3rd as part of our Support the Troops event and parade, we put together care packages for deployed soldiers. It was a little touch of home, some goodies and a note to let them know that we appreciate their sacrifice and pray for them. We received an email today about one of the soldiers who received a packet. Thank you Concordia!
Pastor Schmidt,
Just letting you know that I and my shipmate LCDR Galan received one of
your Church’s packages today and wanted to thank you for the time your
church took to send this to US service members serving here in
Afghanistan. The shampoo, soap and candy are all well received. We don’t
get a lot of these items here in a war zone so it will all go to good
use. And just because I am in a war zone doesn’t mean my sweet tooth has
subsided, so I for will be eating most of the hard candy you provided.
Thanks for the care, it’s always nice to know our fellow Americans are
thinking and supporting us here in Afghanistan.
Thanks again.Very respectfully,
LT Joe Vermette, U.S. Navy
