Thank you for keeping this going, BRC!

I was the one who originally received the package back in 2011/2012. My name on the card in the initial post was SSgt Brandon Weakland and since then, I've become MSgt Brandon Weakland.
Man, time flies...

Keep up the great work and giving deployed troops something to brighten their day!

For me it was never about jerky and candy. I know troops like that kind of stuff over in the sandbox but, I've always thought that the most meaningful thing in the box after all the treats are gone, was citizens recognizing your service for country. Not family, friends, politicians etc. Just your fellow regular Joe citizens.

How's my theory from your perspective? Or is it all, wow, jerky and candy in the sandbox, let me at that stuff.

Please keep your vets in mind this holiday season.

ST. PETERSBURG — On Dec. 10, retired Marine Col. Jim Turner put on his dress uniform and medals and drove to the Bay Pines Department of Veterans Affairs complex. He got out of his truck, sat down on top of his military records and took his own life with a rifle.

Aside from leaving behind grieving family and friends, Turner, 55, of Belleair Bluffs, left behind a suicide note that blasted the VA for what he said was its failure to help him.

"I bet if you look at the 22 suicides a day you will see VA screwed up in 90%," wrote Turner, who was well-known and well-respected in military circles. "I did 20+ years, had PTSD and still had to pay over $1,000 a month health care."
