I just joined your amazing organization and i have been doing various volunteer work with the Troops since shortly after 9/11. I am also in the US Coast Guard AUX and love it. I would like to offer a 40% discount off amy of my patriotic merchandise as well as any military items on my website. I donated $ to you last night after joining and I couldn't be happier to have the honor of being a part of Dry hootch. Please log on to my site at www.StickWithOurTroops.com and see what I do for our brave heroes like yourselves. My biggest passion is doing free letter-writing and thank you notes to our currently deployed Armed Forces. I currently give a significant portion of proceeds directly to Operation Gratitude. To date Operation Gratitude has sent over 600,000 individually addressed Care Packages since 9/11. Truly remarkable!! Thank you for dedicating your lives to provide our freedom. Respectfully, Jill Ozanick 414-617-9393 Stick With Our Troops.

I reveived some of your packages when I was overseas and appreciated the fact that an organization like yours took the time tocare everyday and not just on holidays. Everyday while people are living their life here in the states somebody is going into armed combat and sometimes when your standing there thouhgts come to mind that does anybody care that I am standing here. I always knew that were peoole like you and all of the other wonderful organizations like DryHootch and our service orgs there for us. I just wanted to say Thank You for caring!!
