To ALL in Operation Shoebox, I received your wonderful care package with joy and blessing's. My name is (E-4) Religious Program Specialist, Petty Officer Third Class, Christopher Herrera; I work in the Chaplain's Office here at in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was a real blessing to receive not just the all the items and the delicious box of Girl Scout cookies, but the see and read the heart warming letters from all of you. You just don't realize just how great it feels to receive just anything from caring people in our great United States. It watered my eyes to read all the kindness, love and concern that you've taken to show all our armed forces deployed across the middle east. Thank you so much: Troop 1227, All the 14 troops of Valley Ridge New Jersey, all the people and business involved in Central New Jersey. May God Bless you for all your kindness this Christmas Season. Sincerely, Joint Forces Command US Navy, RP3 Christopher Herrera
