The Hugs Project,

My guys received your packages, and I just wanted to reach out and Say, Thank You!

You brought such a bright smile to their face and they’re beyond appreciative.

Again, Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Very Respectfully,

Good Evening Hugs Project,

I’m Chief Alexander, the POC that signed our command up for Support Our Troops. We’re currently embarked onboard the USS Gerald R Ford, our command is stationed out of Whidbey Island, WA. The Sailors enjoyed the care packages you provided our command, the headbands are a BIG blessing for our Sailors especially the ones that are on the flight deck all day. I’ll snap some photos of the Sailors wearing them and send them back, again we thank you for supporting our command.

Very Respectfully,

Good afternoon,

Hugs Project,

I wanted to thank all of you for the amazing care packages, and all those that helped put them together. I mailed a thank you out today along with a printed version of the PDF. I like physical mail, but it can take some time to arrive. Our unit will be here until January 2026 it looks like, but some are staying on for the next rotation.

If you want to get to know us, I am picking a soldier every few weeks to do a bio, and I can email it if you would like. This is my first deployment along with some of the other soldiers in my unit, and what you do means a lot to us.

Thank you again for your support, kindness, and prayers.

Respectfully,

1LT Seth J.
