Here's what he wrote: "Please pass this to your entire crew. We received the box of misters just the other day. Thank you very much... People like you make this deployment worth every minute. This crew, and the next, will be that much better off because of your efforts and support for our troops!"


From our soldiers:

I received all of the misty today and let me tell you the Marines of 4th AABN Mar Div thanks you for doing what you do for the troops that are in Iraq. We will get good use of our New Misty and keep cool here because of you. The temp here is any where from 100 to 120 and that means at least 140 to 160 inside of a AAV. I will be sending photo's of the troops using the Misters in a couple of days. Once again thank you for all your support

Wow!!! It is amazing sometimes to think of how much support we have from wonderful people such as yourself and the thousands that have donated to worthy causes as your own. Operation: Cool Troops is a wonderful cause!... It is only through charities such as your own that we are able to get the things that make the average troop's life better on a day to day basis. My troops are by far the bravest and hardest working men that I have ever met and as there leader I spend many hours trying to make their tour more comfortable. People like you and those in your organization make my job easy by providing the support and dedication that these troops deserve.

I appreciate your offer to send 22 misters to my platoon. They will be very welcomed. I know that this may be asking a lot, but if there is any way possible, could you send 112 so that my entire company could recieve these misters? This would have a wonderful effect on the troops morale as well as provide a nice relief from the summer heat of Iraq. We are a combat engineer company that spends the majority of our time patroling the streets and villages in the area in and around Nasariyah. We actually are on the same basecamp and work side-by-side with an Arizona group...the 258th CSE. ...
Again, thank you so much for your kindness and support. It is a wonderful feeling to know that their are people like you caring for the welfare of the American Soldier. - U.S. Soldier

A soldier in Iraq shows us how a personal mister can really bring some joy!

To all the men and women fighting over there:

Thank you. Most people drag on about what your doing and only tell the negative stuff. Don't even worry about them. I'm proud of you all and your in my prayers. You defend and uphold everything sacred to America, and for that I am forever grateful. May God bless you and your families and bring you home safely to them soon. Keep up the great work and know that I support you.

Dear Troops,
As the proud mother of a soldier in the 325/82nd Air I send all of you my good thoughts, wishes and prayers. I pray daily for all of you! I pray for your families left to carry on state side without you. The opening days of school are soon upon us in the US...unfortunately many of those children spent their
summer vacation missing a loved one. Know that we support you and pray for you daily...my love to my son "Moose" in Afghanistan! Your wife and kids, and the new boo-boo due to join us in November are all doing well. We miss and love you....Love...Mom & Dad

August 25

Thanks!  What else is there to say.  Your sacrifices to protect our freedom is what honor is all about.  We pray for all of you and for your safe return to your families.
