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
Sgt Atkins
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
Please make your donations NOW so we can send Cool relief to these men and women. (click mister to enlarge)
For more on the misters go to the Misty Mate website. Misty Mate
We have distributed over 179,000 Misters to our troops. With your help we hope to provide every man and woman serving in Iraq with their own misters!
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

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.
