My name is HM2 Oria and I am a US Navy Corpsman who originally reigns from Northwest Indiana, East Chicago to be exact. My department recently received a few care packages from your organization and I wanted to express how deeply and truly grateful we are for the items we received. I want you to know each item will be used or passed on to another sailor who might be in need. I would also like to inform you of the excitement you instilled in each of us as we watched the packages being opened. It is like Christmas to us because we rarely receive mail since we are out to sea.

I would also like to thank everyone who sent a personal letter with words of encouragement, support, or prayer. These words truly do help as we spend all these months at sea away from our families. Your words remind us of what is important and why we volunteered to serve. We are here for you and we appreciate you being in our corner for support. Thank you again for everything you do for our military. God bless.

Very respectfully,

HM2 Oria, R.
