GHC Receives Thanks From Oregon's 3-116 CAV Members

"Thank you for the presents and Christmas cards that we received. During this time of year it was nice to have something to hand out to soldiers during the holidays. The wrapping of the stockings was a nice touch. We gathered our platoon (details omitted) in the motor pool to hand them out before a company photo. It was a good feeling to see everyone receive a wrapped gift on Christmas morning. It is much appreciated from every soldies in our company that there are so many people at home that support us. On behalf of (soldiers in company), thank you for your hard work collecting these items and the support that you continue to give us." 2nd. Lt. Chris Perrotti.

"I would like to take the time to say thanks to all of the members of the Gorge Heroes Club for the Christmas packages that you sent to our company (details omitted). The Christmas stockings that were sent to the soldiers was greatly welcomed and put a smile on the soldiers' faces. We passed the stockings out on Christmas Day and we watched them open them up, and many soldiers were taking photos while this was going on, that was real cool. The daily work load that we do over here is not bad but some days are busier than others -- but that is the life of a soldier. The weather is nice and not too warm and not too cold, but we know the hot season is coming soon, so we take what we can and enjoy it to the fullest. Every day that goes by is a day closer to the time we get to come home. So, I would like to thank you once more for the stockings and keep the wonderful things that you do for the soldiers up." SFC Joseph Lewis
