    <title>&quot;There for Us&quot;</title>
    <summary><![CDATA[This note is about&nbsp;Soldiers' Angels in particular, but the point is universal to anyone for whom &quot;Support the Troops&quot; is a definite verb...

 Hello my name is MSG [redacted] and am with 7th Special Forces Group out of Fort Bragg, NC. I recently recieved some boxes* for my team and they all loved each one. The item that was really needed was the blankets that were put in each one. We enjoyed how each one was different. You are wonderful Americans and we appreciate all of your support from the bottom of our hearts. You make it easier to serve over here in Afghanistan, knowing we are thought of and that true Americans are there for us.

Thank you for what you do.....

*The master sergeant is referring to the Wrapped in Holiday Spirit care packages with handmade blankets, which SA began sending out in November.
