Dear Editor,
Greetings!
A quick note to thank all the Great Bend Military Moms and other donors for the wonderful packages of candy, games, books, toys and personal care items they sent to the troops.
All the items are truly appreciated.
We have members of every branch of service serving here: Army, Air Force, Marines and Navy (I haven’t seen a Coastie yet but they are in theater as well).
I am the garrison chaplain for Headquarters ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) and our compound is in the capital city of Kabul, Afghanistan.
Rest assured that the items were received and are currently being distributed.
Chaplain Maj. Ephraim Garcia, USAR
