Because of server problems if you do not receive a response from me in 3 days please get a hold of me so I can get your cards out to you. I try to respond within 48 hours normally and get the cards out shortly there after.
God Bless

I received some cards from your site before and needed to get some more. I have 2 Nephews in Afghanistan, and recently visited one of them at Fort Bragg before he deployed. I was able to see a lot of war veterans from all eras at the airborne museum.,,I have given these out locally as well and have gotten responses such as this is/was the reason that I serve. ,,Tears from a Vietnam Vet, and a hug from a Marine who stood watch over the Enola Gay.,,Thank you to all of our veterans living and passed.,,God bless you all,,

THANK YOU FOR THE MILK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We got the milk on Dec 26th. Ryan was out on convoy, so I had to keep it a surprise for another 4 days before he could know. I was expecting 1 gallon for him…I didn’t know I was getting milk too! What a wonderful surprise! We got a total of 5 gallons I think.
When he got home from convoy, I brought him to my office and made him close his eyes. The I gave him a glass of milk and told him he had to drink it without smelling it first…(he didn’t like that part). He was SO surprised when he tasted it! He drank a whole jug of it that night before we left the office! Our little secret….he almost had tears in his eyes when he tasted it! He couldn’t believe it was “real” milk. He actually ate Oreos with that jug of milk. He said that it was the “bestest Christmas present ever”!
I shared the milk with the guys in the office and SPC Willsey drank a jug all by himself. He said that when he was home on leave he drank a gallon a day because he missed it so much over here. He is going to write you to see if you could send him some as well, I think. I gave him one of the customs slips that has your address on it. Ryan’s commander took a jug and wrote his name all over it so that no one would drink it. We put 2 other jugs in the fridge for community property…they lasted about 3 days.
To answer your QC questions:
We got 10 half gallons of milk
They were still partially frozen when they got here
1 leaked in transit, but the other 9 half gallons were THOROUGHLY enjoyed!!!
I have been asked if we can send you money to get some more shipped here. The flavors requested were 2%, whole, and chocolate milk (that one’s from me) 
).
It was so awesome to get those boxes in the mail! You have made a lot of folks here so happy to get a piece of home!!

I WORK AT THE DELI ON DAVIS-MOTHAN AFB. I WOULD LIKE TO PUT A CARD IN WITH THE DELI ORDER. WE SERVE NUMEROUS ACTIVE DUTY AIRMEN AND WOMEN EVERYDAY. WE [AZ. PGR] JUST DID A ROLLING FLAG SENDOFF FOR THE AIR RESCUE TEAM TODAY. SOMEONE GAVE MY HUSBAND A THANK-YOU CARD, [HE IS A DISABLED VETERAN], AT THE SENDOFF. HE WAS VERY THANKFUL AND IMPRESSED. I WOULD LIKE TO PLACE A CARD INSIDE THE WRAPPER WITH THE ORDER. WE ALSO SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AT THE TUCSON VETERANS HOSPITAL. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING. LYN

I’ve grown up my entire life around the Marine Corps. My dad retired 11 days before I married my husband (a Marine). My brother is just months away from Army National Guard basic training. Right now we live nowhere near an active duty base, but just 30 minutes from a reserve base. I’m constantly seeing men and women from the Minnesota National Guard and would LOVE to be able to hand them these cards. My father received one at a wedding I attended a few months back and the action brought me to tears. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

December 28 2009,My family and I were at Baltimore Airport. We diligently hand out the cards to service personnel in uniform anywhere we see them. My 5 year old spotted a female soldier in uniform, went to her and said her usual “thank you for saving our country” while handing her one of the Dear American Hero cards. The soldier in return gave her her teddy bear and said “He kept me company on the plane coming home from Iraq, thank you”. ,My family and I have a lot of pride in our soldiers and these cards make it easy to show just how much.,Thank you American Soldiers!

Thank you so much, we have given out 50+ of these and I tear up every time my children hand these out. We have been out for a while and every time we pass a soldier my kids ask we are out of cards. Thanks so much! The smiles from the soldiers are AWSOME!

I’ve been handing out these cards for years – airports are the best place to do it – soldiers don’t expect them. Sometimes, you can just slip them into their backpacks and disappear. Then the find it and look around – it’s kind of cool,,I volunteer at the VA Hospital in Mpls. The other day, I was talking to a 90 year old WWII vet. He didn’t want to take the card, “It was my job, you see. I was a blacksmith and they needed me.” I insisted – he finally took the card and the smile on his face later made my persistence worthwhile.,,Yesterday’s soldiers looked at their role as a job; they understood the threat to humanity. Today’s soldiers also understand but unfortunately, too many non-soldiers do not understand. The ratio of active FT military to non-military population is 200:1. We must support them any way we can – these cards provide an excellent way to show support.,,Richard, you’ve done a great job!
