E-mail from a Soldier . . .

...I received the care package...It's very nice to know that there are people back home that support us. Sometimes it's easy to forget that, especially in this place.

The RPCM® ChillyDog Cool Vest , Doggles and MuttLuks will definitely be put to good use. We have already had several days here with temperatures in excess of 100 degrees. We are trying to get more sets of these things, but you know how the military supply can be. We have close to a dozen dogs here and supply tries to do the best that they can, unfortunately it's an uphill battle...I have included a photo of myself and my MWD Heri. He's the furry one...

Ms. Nunley,

I was given your e-mail address in hopes that you might be able to support our MWD teams down range . . . Being gone away from home for a year gets old sometimes . . . getting a package in the mail from someone other than a family member with some broken cookies in it really means a lot. It kind of makes your day so to speak. I have several teams gone right now. There are three dog teams deployed to Camp Delta, Iraq, which doesn't get much support. I can only say so much to keep in compliance with OPSEC, but this place is a dump, which the U.S. Army is trying to bring up to standard. (It's a Georgian Army Camp) . . . Any support you can provide will be greatly appreciated . . . I'm back here, but my teams are in harms way right now . . . Thanks so much for your dedication and support.

SPC Carroll, Matthew J.

Mrs. Nunley,

First and foremost, thank you so very much for your extraordinary support of both Boe and Budge. I am the Officer in Charge of the Combat Stress Control program on the same FOB as your son Parker. The first time I met your son was in the presence of Budge. I have to tell you that it was fun watching the "most senior officer in the room" on his hands and knees with the dog growling and smiling . . . Labradors Boe and Budge helping our Soldiers relieve some stress. Boe going out on duty in the field with his partner.  Boe with his   new Doggles. Budge and Boe   with their   partners.

...I just received the RPCM® ChillyDog Cool Vest and toy for my MWD partner Denis. I just wanted to say thank you for all you do...

I am grateful for all the support of my partner and I. Sometimes these guys go without notice. I know they don't mind, but you and I know that is wrong to forget these hard working four legged heroes.

All the guys at this FOB just love him. He brings a piece of home with him. He gives people a chance to forget for a while.

I just really wanted to say thank you to all who donate. It is nice to know that someone out there cares for these guys and gals as much as we their handler's do.

Sincerely, SGT Him Hall / MWD Denis
