While the Landstuhl Hospital Care Project main focus is to provide comfort and relief items for military members who become sick, injured, or wounded from service in the Middle East, we also support stateside VA hospitals and homes too. A project early this year was to make baskets for homeless veterans making a new start in their new home. The baskets included everything from towels and wash clothes to pots and pans for the kitchen. Below is the very first letter we have received from this project from Robert.Friday, August 16, 2013 Snail MailTo: Landstuhl Hospital Care Project I’m Robert. O.

Friday, June 28, 2013Hi Karen, We got the box of snacks and coffee mugs the other day they got snatched up pretty quick the can o’ cookies were pretty sweet. We are moving to another part of the fob soon so my communication may be hindered in the future not sure how good the net is where we are going. I also got conformation that we will stop getting mail as of Aug. 1st and chow hall is closing and going to MRE’s only. I would like it if you could send me a link on where and how I could help donate in the future to what you guys do when I get back to the states there we’ll still be guys like me over here in need of support and I want to give back some of what I was lucky enough to receive. We have accepted things are only getting worse as we stay here longer and unfortunately the enemy activity has increased but we are keeping our spirits high as a team and we all have no doubt we will go home as a team and part of our team has been people and organizations like you and the good people at Landstuhl we never would have had as much to smile about without your help and I for one will always be thank full for all of you. Sincerely, BVA

Wednesday, September 18, 2013Hello, Landstuhl Hospital Care Project, My name is XXXXXX Nero and I was very moved as I wa reading the article that Senator Mark Pryor wrote about Lance Corporal Irvin Ceniceros. My father was also a Marine. He made it to rank of Gunnery Sergeant. My father also gave the ultimate sacrifice. I was young when I got the news that my father was killed in Vietnam. I haven’t heard of Landstuhl and the “Home Again” basket. If it wasn’t for my social worker, I would still be in the dark about the program. When I was given the “Home Again” basket, all I could say was “WOW”! So all I can say is “thank you and thank you”. And I know that I’m speaking for those that came before and those that will come after me.So as I come to the end of my letter, I salute you all.

Thursday, April 25, 2013 snail mail packageKaren- Thank you so much for the care packages. All of us enjoyed and the extra’s were used up by our force protection guys in the Canadian side of the house. It was a little comfort from home and it truly made a difference. They named you the “HERO CLUB”. Here is my email if you wish to correspond. Thank you again for your love and support. Respectfully JB USN
Dear Hero Club THANK YOU so much for the awesome motorcycle blanket. It reminds me of my motorcycle I have at home in Tacoma, Washington. But most of all it reminds me of home because it’s sort, snugly and keeps me warm at night. Major BMc
Hero Club Thank you so much for your kind letters and care package! It can get dull out here, so hearing from people back home helps us stay happy, focused, and resolute. Thank you! ME USAF Dear Hero Club, Thank you very much for your support of the troops and your thoughtful gifts to us of crocs. They will be very comfortable. I love them. You are special to us here and we are happy to serve. Good Luck! Commader FM US Navy Thursday, April 25, 2013 We where put back on reduced rations two days ago so our surplus will get tapped into I’m sure. I will stay in touch and before I forget thanks for all the cards from the kids and the big banner (LHCP Sebring Motorcycle Ride Banner) was very cool I kept a bunch of the cards to add to my collection of souvenirs from time over here. I’m hitting the hay suppose to run a competitive 5k tomorrow thanks for everything good night. BA | Sunday, June 2, 2013Hello Karen, I Have been wanting to send you a few lines for the last couple of weeks but operational tempo and commo blackouts have made that difficult. I hope this e-mail finds you well and in good health and hopefully happy all of the medics here are doing good. We have had a lot more patients lately but that helps pass the days. We are losing all our civilian support and the few comforts we had are drying up fast already so it’s looking more like expeditionary force out for us the last few months. I know I had asked you to hold off on shipments to us but I was hoping maybe you folks could send us some more shipments we burned through most of our surplus but Thar’s what happens when you don’t turn people away who are looking for a snack or missed chow. Once the civilians leave in a few weeks it will be MRE’s for us unless they bring cooks from some other place but that doesn’t look promising so basically I am writing you to try and get us some food items like you sent us before breakfast items and the like plus the tuna you sent last time was awesome. We have finally realized how pampered we were in some ways all the sugar on the fob has disappeared and so now that stuffs like gold. I am very thank full for all the help you guys have given to us and I understand that sometimes are better than other but if you folks can spare it we would very much appreciate anything you send and make sure as many who can benefit from it do so. We are keeping our and the soldiers we treat spirits high as we can but the deployment is taking it’s tole inevitably hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Bryan
