God Bless your daughter! Please send her my deepest appreciation. 4 deployments - Wow-- I can only imagine your pride and also the normal anxiety family members go through. My son deployed 3 times in his 4 year Active duty.

No thanks needed here Mike-- THEY deserve all the thanks- plus those patriotic Americans that donate to our cause. We are just the middle man per-say.

I hope you can help me..  I ship care packages to a OP.  I wonder if you know what camo pattern they wear in Afganistan?  Is there certain colors on the shirts?  I have asked many people & Got Many answers..  Also, I wonder if you can tell me the cost on a shower, the OP needs one.  Thank You for Your Time..

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Sabrina-- God Bless you for supporting our Troops. I assume your asking what are th colors of the Marines Cammie's-- they are Digital Desert Sand. Various colors of beige.  Keep in mind any under garments- Teeshirts etc.. MUST be 100% cotton when worn our in the field. Dicks and other sporting good stores including Walmart, sell 5 Gallon heavy duty Solar showers-- they range in price for $6.99- $15.00 depending where you go. I hope that helps answer your questions.

Keep up the great work!

Hello,

We are financially strapped but I do have an old small refrigerator that I am willing to donate to our troops.  Is there somewhere close to home where I can drop it off.  My son Christopher has recently graduated from the Marine Corp boot camp in San Diego and i have many family members who have had or have Marines serving over seas.  Please let me know how I can help.  I have hands eyes and a body if you just need me to volunteer some time.  Semper Fi all and god bless America and our troops

I need to know how much it cost to donate showers. My brother is serving in one of those OP. They are really suffering over there!!!

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Email me your brothers rank - full name and complete address. I will send him a few solar showers for his unit- if they don't have any already They cost about $10.00 each. I happen to have a few on hand.  Email plewis@mom4rmarines.org

Mrs. Lewis,
I wanted to thank you for your support and greeting of my Marines as they returned from Afghanistan last week. The gift card that each Marine received was very generous. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you in the future. Thank you again!

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Captain Imperiale

It was my honor! I loved handing out the gift cards, they were only a small token of our appreciation for the sacrifices you have made for the past 7 months for our Country, That was my first welcome home at the Philadelphia Airport with Warriors Watch and Tun Tavern Leathernecks MC, and it was fantastic! Seeing you and your Marines come down that escalator to the flag line was a site I will never forget. Unless someone attends homecomings for our Military they have no clue what they are missing, it is a feeling those involved will never forget.

God Bless, stay safe on your leave!

found out about the program at the CT home show at the CT convention center this weekend in Hartford, CT. the woman Pam spent her whole weekend without pay raising money for the program. (Note she does not have a child or loved one in the military at this point she donates her time and effort!) while she and her daughter sat all weekend some of the so called Americans walked by saying NO WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE MARINE CORPS!!! I wanted to reach out and slap the like Benny Hill. these people never saw the military and have no clue what are brothers and sisters have given up to keep these idiots safe and able to go play golf and drive their volvo's. Thanks Pam and all involved keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

First of all ignore those that are ignorant and cluless, for they are unaware and unappreciative of the freedoms our military has provided them. I would assume non of their friends or family members have ever had the courage and dedication to have served in the military on our countrys behalf.

God Bless Pam!!! I just posted a thank you to all that donated at the Hartford Home Builder's (HBA) CT Home Show and  Hartford  County HBA  just minutes before I saw your comment today. Pam is an AWESOME woman and I can never thank her for EVERYTHING she has done for our Marines and Sailors. She is more than priceless to me personally!

Ladies and gentlemen,

  I for one would like to send my appreciation to all of the volunteers and board members at all of the Divisions that make it happen for Mom4rMarines.  Without them this great organization probably wouldn't exist.  The countless hours and devotion that they provide the Marines and their families is just as selfless as the Marines on our front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan.  You great Americans keep our morale and spirits running on high.  It's a little bit of home that the Marines and Sailors surely appreciate.  Thank you once again.

Semper Fidelis,

Gunnery Sergeant Gonzales

7th Engineer Support Battalion, Bulk Fuel Company

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Gunnery Sgt Gonzales,

Thank YOU for taking the time to send us this wonderful letter. We never expect any thank you's considering we are fully aware that free time is a rare and priceless commodity to our Marines  and Sailors have. 

Bringing a smile and lifting morale is what MOM 4R MARINES is all about, if we did that in some small way, then we have accomplished our mission. We will continue to  send support and some touches of home to our deployed, year round. 

 Christmas we go a little wild.   We can only imagine how difficult  it is being so far from home, away from your loved ones and deployed in such a volatile area of operations. My son was away over Christmas twice out of his 3 deployments, it is difficult for all. We hold the deepest pride and are extremely dedicated to our Marines and Sailors.

You are the best and deserve the best.

STAY SAFE!

Hi!  My son is a marine, scheduled to deploy to the Helman Valley of Afghanistan in ( Edited due to OPSEC) 2010.  Since I live in Colorado, is there any way I can help you, or do I need to live close to wherever it is you are located?

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Hi Linda!!! I took out the date you posted due to OPSEC ( Operational Security) God Bless your son and your family! Is this his first deployment?? I was down that road 3 times in the 4 years my son was active duty. You're also our hero for standing behind your son. Our sons and daughters enlisted and chose this road, and we the parents sometimes feel like we were drafted! Hahahaha..Needless to say we must provide all the support and pride we can muster.  

You surely don't need to live near me to get involved, we welcome you wholeheartedly.

Please send me a personal email to plewis@mom4rmarines.org and we can discuss this in more details.  Hopefully your sons battalion has a Parents group to keep you informed and supported throughout your sons deployment.  Each Unit/ Battalion now has the option to incorporate parents officially into their Family Readiness Program. I have assisted the USMC the past 3 years with identifying the need to add parents officially into this program. Considering 70% or more of our Marines and Sailors are single it is imperative to acknowledge this demographic which is the main support system to their Marines and Sailors. I believe we still need a bit more details, but we are getting there slowly but surely.

I look forward to your email and would love to speak with you.

Semper Fi Mom!

I did want to thank you and your organization for everything that you do for those of us deployed, and our families during the holiday season. Thank you for spreading the holiday cheer.

Thank you very much,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!  We received a call on Christmas Day from our son Derek, currently deployed to Afghanistan with 1/3 Bravo.  He received a stocking and was thrilled!  He said that it was filled with "insanely useful stuff!"   His little sister was very happy that he had received a Reindeer Webkinz (she has a lot of them).  Now, all of our children received a Webkinz for Christmas.  LOL, the thought crossed this Marine Mom's mind to send a stuffed animal, but..... well, ....   Thank you for sending one! 

Thank you for all you do for our Marines!!  May God continue to bless your ministry!

Patrick, Cheryl, Noah, Naomi, and Jacob

 MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

 Cheryl,

I am so thrilled to hear you son received his stocking, and was pleased with the contents. Nothing makes a parent happpier than knowing their Marine/ Sailor are happy and smiling.  I was also a Marine mom, from 2003-2007, my son did 3 deployments, 1  to Afghanistan in 2004 and Iraq in 2005 and again in 2006. I know firsthand what our Marines and Sailors like and need.  Nowadays I am still a Marine mom, but have over 202,000 sons and daughters.

In the past I always added a holiday Beanie Baby to the top of the stocking bag. This year donations were down by 60%, thank God for Leigh and Mr. Ganz ( maker of the WEBKINZ) They donated 4000 Reindeer Webkinz and when I mentioned the children of the deployed living back at bases throughout the country, they added another 2000 to send to the children!!!!! So any recipient of the stockings that have children, now have the same Webkinz that daddy has! I give a HUGE OO-RAH to Ganz for being so generous to our Marines and MOM 4R MARINES organization!

The headlamps which I know is the Marines/ Sailors # 1 favorite was donated this year by two companies, that are competitors! They came together and split the 4000 headlamps needed! I HAD to have those headlamps or I would not have been a happy camper! LOL Then Blackhawk donated 4000 pouches to hold the headlamps!

 Last and definitely NOT least I send my deepest thanks and gratitude to the hundreds of dedicated, patriotic supports that made monetary donations! Without you this HUGE mission would NOT have been possible at all!!! I  am only the middle man, all of YOU are the ones that make this effort of support possible!

I know Cheryl having your son deployed any time is very difficult, but over the holidays is extremely hard on all the families, to know we made your sons day means the world to us! It means we were successful in our goal to lift their morales and bring a smile to their faces even if only for a brief moment.

Thank YOU and your family for sharing your son with our country! 

Your letter means so much to all of us, thanks for taking the time to write.

 I am also involved with other endeavors within the USMC, separate from MOM 4R MARINES. I know the Family Readiness Officer for 1/3 very well. Make sure you have been added to their parents program. I won't go into more details here, but if you have recently received an email from him, you will note my name mentioned as we worked together on the 1/3 forum recently created. It is priceless to the Marine Corps parents to get such support from their Marines/ Sailors unit, especially with the geographical  challenges of parents across the country.

 God Bless you and yours always.

Hey, thanks for sending us the stockings and stuff for Christmas.  It is hard to get to a computer out here for some of us, so I am saying THANK YOU on behalf of all those that can't say thank you.  We really appreciate you guys looking out for us while we are over here.  My particular base doesn't really have a good store so we pretty much rely on the carepackages that are sent from home.  Once again thanks.

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

I am thrilled to hear your stockings arrived intact. No need to thank us, you, your brothers, and sisters are those who deserve all the THANKS! We appreciate all the sacrifices you all make daily for our Country!

God Bless you all, Stay Safe! I am fully aware of the environments you live in daily, and never expect any emails or letters of appreciation.  I know firsthand that if you do have a few minutes in your hectic schedules, the best use of that time, is to rest, catch up with some proper hygiene, or call your loved ones if thats possible. Please send my love and gratitude to all your USMC brothers and sisters. Thank you for this letter, we appreciate you using your valuable time to send thoughts of appreciation our direction.

STAY SAFE!!

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

I am happy to hear you received the stockings all intact. Captain of unit B sent me great pictures this morning! I will be sure to post them ASAP. The stockings were possible due to hundreds of dedicated and giving American citizens. MOM 4R MARINES is only the middle man, without the patriotism of our donors this mission would never have been so successful. We continue our missions forward to send support to all of you, which hopefully shows you all your not forgotten back home!

Please tell your men those stockings were filled with an immense sense of pride, gratitude and tight hugs for what you all do daily for our Nation.  Please stay safe and try to have the best possible Christmas that anyone can have while deployed. I also made sure the spouses and children of 1/3 also had special gifts for their party. matter of fact all the children also received the same exact Reindeer Webkinz that is tied to the top of the stockings you received. The children have been told that Daddy was going tog et the same exact Webkinz from Santa, so when the children hold their Reindeer closely, they know daddy has his with him as well.

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Semper Fi Marine Mom! Thank you for your sacrifices and  the anxieties you deal with daily with your son serving our country. I would feel confident if your son is from Camp Lejuene NC, his battalion or unit is one of the recipients of the stockings. In late November we shipped 9.5 TONS to Afghanistan! The Marines and Corpsman are always impressed and a bit taken back when they see just how much people back home that they never met, perfect strangers care so much, to send items and letters of support. This is why it is so important for every American, that lives with the freedoms we have daily, which many times are takeen for granted, take the time to recognize those that in the past, and present continue to fight for those freedoms!

God Bless you son and  may he stay safe.

(((HUGS))) from one Marine Mom to another.  Your son and all our military are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Hello

Saw information on your project on Quilts of Valor, and my Mother is now taken out her knitting needles and is busy with scarves.  My question is:  It is now November. . .  between now and next October are you accepting scarves?  Are they sent out at periodic intervals?  Would it be all right to include a note with her scarves?  Saw posting about mail not being sealed. . .

Thanks-

Hi Holly!

God Bless your son, please tell him we all send out deepest thanks and gratitude for all the sacrifices he makes daily for our country.

Yes knit away all year! We ask people to please hold onto the scarves until late in October as we have no place for storage. This year we received over 800 handmade scarves!!!  A note is always great to pin onto the scarves, knowing someone took the time to knit or crochet means so much to our Marines and Sailors. They are always in awe that people they do not know took the time and efforts to do something special for them.

I am so happy you posted this here as I accidentally deleted your email! Please email me once again as your email address does not appear in this venue. plewis@mom4rmarines.org

God Bless your son and his service to our fine country!

I would be more than happy to have your students assist on the stocking days. However at this time we are about $160,000 short on this mission. Regardless we will use the donations of those who have generously given at this time to do as many stockings as possible.

I look forward to your email and promise I will not accidentally delete that one! :>)

Please feel free to copy our flyer and pass it onto all your contacts! We are close to needing a miracle here..

I am a Delta (Northwest)  flight attendant.  We do military charters back and forth taking troops.  We consider this a honor and take great care of them.  Whatever we can do.  How can we further help? 

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Kristie,

God Bless Delta (Northwest)! You can only imagine whats going through their minds , whether it is they are deploying or coming home.  I  Deleted your email address for security reasons. I will email you personally.. Maybe Northwest can sent out our flyer ?  Possibly all the employees could come together and support this project?  Time is passing way to quickly!  I am praying like crazy  that we can raise the amount we need to do these 4000 stockings, and ship the 3rd week of November. Shipping alone will be near $20,000! 4000 stockings will be approx 8 tons!

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE

Andrea,

Thanks for your support! I know we have all been hit my the poor economic times, my family has not been exempt from this unfortunate reality .

I think you misunderstood the story on Fox News. It was not my son that was Killed in Action , it  was LCpl William Koprince who sent that very upbeat last email to his parents, about the stockings MOM 4R MARINES had sent his direction in Iraq, back in 2006.  God Bless the Koprince's, and all the families of our fallen. Their strength always totally amazes me!

Every little bit adds up thats for sure! Thank you for your support!

Patty

My wife and I saw moving piece on the Fox (Philly) last night and will be sending in a donation very soon.  Thank you for you volunteerism and Esprit de corps.  Cpl Goslin (ret.)

God Bless you, and God Bless EVERY single one of our troops everwhere in the world. There will always be a place for people like all of you who add such selfless value to the Kingdom of God.

I couldn't have said it better myself!  God Bless your friends, I think we all have someone we know in now on active duty.

As a Marine Mom for 4 years, I know I will never forget the anxiety we lived through daily with the 3 deployments our son did.  However, we cant let that consume us, we must stay in a positive mindset ,and do what we can to support our troops! These young warriors must see , that regardless of any personal political opinions, we hold the deepest pride and respect for all of them!  Your donation regardless of the amount sent a message, you support our troops, your friends, and for that I salute YOU!

God Bless you as well and all your friends, I have them all in my thoughts and prayers that they stay safe! I am so very proud of our military.

Hi, I just came across the site and it is very heart felt and I would love to support our troops.  I and a few others would like to send greeting cards, postcards to troops.  How do i go about this? We stand behind our troops.    Thanks for your time.  Karen

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE:
Karen,

Thank you for being such a patriot! Our Marines and Sailors appreciate cards and letters of support more than you can imagine. Please keep in mind when sending a card or letter to a Marine address them as Dear Marine, ( not Dear Soldier) Soldiers are our wonderful warriors in the US Army. 

Also  please do not seal any letters or cards, as they must be read prior to passing them onto the Marines and Sailors in Afghanistan. Yes. believe it or not some people do write nasty and non supportive letters to our troops. Therefore if you could place them all in a large envelope with the individual cards and letters NOT sealed inside, we would be most grateful.

Please Mail all letter and cards to;

MOM 4R MARINES   P.O. BOX 1274   Willow Grove, Pa  19090

Thanks again for caring and supporting our Marines and Sailors!  God Bless you and yours.  I will make sure they get to Afghanistan ASAP!

I really appreciate what all our troops are doing for this great country. We may be going through a tough time right now but in time we will prevail. God bless our troops and God bless America. We are behind you 110%!!!

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE:
Thanks, Robert!

Our troops need to know they are not forgotten back home!  We appreciate you taking the time to leave such a patriotic comment.

God bless you and yours,

my recovery has been long and painful and has taken its toll on not just me but as well as my family, and people like you do make a difference. so please keep fighting the good fight and take care of my wounded brothers.

Dear Patty and all those involved with Mom 4 R Marines, Thank you so much for giving us the money to get our van fixed. You and your organization have been such a blessing to our family. We are so greatful for your kindness. Thank you!

Where can we send books to troops? Do you have an address for care packages? Could you let Hannity put the address on his website and or show? Thank you

MOM 4R MARINES RESPONSE:

Hey Sandy!

I appreciate your question. I would advise going to www.anymarine.com  They keep an active listing of all our military that send requests  of packages to them on their site. Marty the Founder of anymarine.com / anysoldier.com is a wonderful man who started his organization  several years back, he is very respected by our troops. Let me know how you make out.

Thanks so much for your support and patriotism!!! Our troops appreciate knowing America stands behind them!

Well God knows we have many strange people in our fine country. In my eyes anyone that does not support and stand behind the sacrifices our military makes daily continuing to provide us freedom , safety and commerce, all I can say is they are truly ignorant and selfish individuals.

They unfortunately don't realize the freedom they take for granted daily has been provided to them from our past and present Armed Forces. Please forgive them as they know no better.  Americans have proven time and time again when faced with a disaster our nation comes together as one. Unfortunately there will always be people who have such anger and hatred for what ever reason, they look at life through negative glasses.

I can tell you with no doubt regardless of anyone political opinions the nation at large stands behind you all! I see it daily in my emails and letters.

MOM 4R MARINES Response

Andrew and Karen,

Our wounded warriors deserve the best life can bring their direction.  Many of these  young men and woman have life changing experiences while defending and protecting our Nation. Now they must adjust and keep a positive attitude and focus on how to adapt to a totally different lifestyle due to their injuries. They are strong and determined, however they need to know they are NOT forgotten.  I would not be able to do half of what I do if it was not for thousands of dedicated patriotic citizens that make donations daily to honor our brave Marines and sailors.  Many times I receive letters of thanks when people make a donation on my site, it is not  ME they need to thank, I am the middle man.. I thank all OUR WONDERFUL MILITARY AND THE DONATORS! I say OOOOOOOOOrahhhhhhhhhh to all those who have donated and have sent their support my direction. NOTHING WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH OUT THEM.

Nah, it is not people like me that motivates you guys,  Marines and sailors have it in their blood.  You're are so self disciplined and motivated! Once in awhile you may need a little bit of reassurance  that we the American people are proud and honored to have you protect us and defend our nation. Years past this was not the case, our Viet Nam veterans did not get the support they so very much deserved. I wish I could go back in time and change all that.

I am so happy to hear the Marines and sailors liked the stockings. God Knows they deserve the best.

Please send my best wishes to your son.  All our deployed are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Keep the chin up mom, I know it surely is not easy being a USMC mom! Been there done it through 3 deployments. However all I kept telling myself is: this is what my son wanted to do, all I can do is support him and his unit any way possible. Stay busy, do not allow time to think. My theory is anxiety and fear will change nothing except waste valuable time .  I always try to keep parents busy on battalion projects, it helps pass time and keeps our focus on a positive mindset.  Our sons enlisted  we ( the parents and families) were drafted!

Thank you for taking the time in posting your comment on the website. I know things are not easy over there in Afghanistan, please know all your Marines and sailors are in our thoughts and prayers daily.

I have learned over time that most people assume that our military needs a ton of toiletries and sweets. I met a Marine last year that had 47 toothbrushes from one deployment. LOL

I know hygiene is important to our guys however that is if time allows, which is rare. I have found several items that I have heard the guys loved  receiving  therefore they are now staple items always included.

I have one request: PLEASE STAY SAFE!!!

WE love you all so very much. If you need anything please email me. This month there will be several BOXES OF FOOD SENT YOUR DIRECTION. I realize mail delivery is very complicated due to your AO. Hopefully all arrives with the many hugs included in each box.

God Bless you all. Please send all my love to our Marines and sailors of 3/8.
