Deni,   I got it!!    It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen, and Tara and I are both so appreciative.  It was a walk down memory lane to show her and Jacob the different squares and explain their meaning.  Thank you for your hard work and for the obvious love you put into this.  I promise to take ...

Carly -   Trust me, it isn't annoying to have someone speak to us!  It is flattering, humbling, and emotional.  We do what we do because it's what we do.  We don't know how it affects other people, and don't expect anything in return.  The interactions I've had in my travels have been some of the ...

Cathi,   I can't say anything that hasn't been said, but I can't read this and not offer my appreciation, respect, and condolences, either.  Your sons both seem to "get it" where their service is concerned, and that is a reflection on their parents and how they were raised.  Thank you for taking us on this ...

We got a couple of pillows when I was over there, and they were GREATLY appreciated!  :)   How's everyone?

Kit -   My name is SGT Kevin Creel, and I want to thank you for keeping all of us in your thoughts during this time of year.  I spent 15 months in Iraq from November 2006 - February 2008, and I can tell you that ALL mail is appreciated.  We got everything from cards and letters (and a few postcards!) to family photos of other ...

My name is SGT Kevin Creel, and I am a BIG fan of this site and those people who use it.  I was in Iraq from November 2006 to February 2008, and this was my lifeline.  The supporters here are absolutely the best!

Happy Thanksgiving!   It's hard to believe that a year ago I was running on the flightline in Baghdad.  So much has changed!   I hope you are all well and enjoying the time with your families.   Stay in touch! Kevin

I can vouch for post cards getting through with no problems!  :)
