Hello, my name is Temeka and my lovely family and I live aboard Camp
Pendleton Base . I wanted to take time out to truly say THANK-You to
an amazing organization called, "The American Legion , Post 365 " .
This last year has been an extremely difficult year for me and my
Marine Corp Family financially and emotionally. We have faced so many
No's in 2011. To finally have someone , I'm sorry a group of Amazing
People say, " Yes," we recognize what you do and we appreciate you
and your family there are not words that can express that . However I
will try .Charisse Kaufman and her beautiful family , alongside with
the American Legion took time out not only to make sure that my family
and I had Christmas gifts but also had a wonderful Banquet where they
recognized not only the Active Duty Member in the Household but my
children and I as well . Unfortunately sometimes spouse's and children
take the back seats . I truly think its amazing that someone came up
with a web-site to be our voices in our most desperate time of need.
My family had an Amazing Christmas because of this website , the American
Legion , and Charisse Koufman and her Family . Charisse also went the
extra mile by inviting Me and my family to her lovely home for Christmas
Dinner with her and her lovely family. They sacrificed buying Christmas
gifts for their family so my family could have a wonderful Christmas . I
am in tears as I type this because my beginning of 2011 was extremely
filled with hopelessness but by the December 25th it was filled with dreams
and love. So , from the bottom of my family's heart I want to say thank-you
to the American Legion Post 365 for all the wonderful gifts and food . And
thank-you to Charisse Koufman and Family for all the love and inspiration
for 2012 . I only hope that this generosity continues with all the Military
families in the future for 2012 and beyond . Again Thank you to The American
Legion Post 365 , The Koufman family , and Last but not least ,

Sincerely Temeka & Family

set up. You have connected us with someone we could never possibly
thank enough. They have made our Christmas more amazing then we
could have ever thought possible!!! Greg and DD Davis are loved by
us to the fulliest. Thank you for everything

I want to take a few moments to say thank you for everything
your organization is doing. You connected us with a wonderul
family that has truly blessed us in our time of need. It is a
great thing knowing there are such caring wonderful people in
this world. This Christmas we were given more than just presents.
We were given a renewed faith and more hope than our hearts can
bear. We are more greatful than words can explain. We hope that
one day we can come back to this site and give what was given to
us. Thank you so very much. Sara

Thank you Thank you Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This
is such a blessing! Blessings to you,Dorothea

I typically don't email anyone outside of the area but I've spent
3 weeks researching for resources for the Military Wives support
group we started last week at our library and let me just say it's
really refreshing to come across websites like yours that have
military family resources available. Your resource page at
http://www.adusa.com/MFamilies.htm has really helped out in pointing
us in the right direction and I felt like I really needed to take a
second to thank you.
My husband has been in Afghanistan for just over 3 months now and
meeting with this group has made everything so much easier. I've been
with my husband for 6 years now and we've been apart before(comes with
the territory) but some of the ladies in our group just started their
relationships, it must be so hard for them!

post/plea for help for my family, she has spoke to me on the phone and

its more than what we had but I want to thank you from the bottom of my
heart and express to you how I truely feel you are my guardian angel.
Thank you so much. Jackie Perkins

We want to express out thanks to you for
organizing your website. We did not want
to go through a formal charitable organization,
preferring to help families in a much more
direct way. Your website provided exactly
what we were looking for.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Regards,S and S P

Thank you for all the wonderful
work you do for the military families.

Hi everyone! My mom found this website last year
and we sponsored 2 families. This year I wanted
to do more. I started saving my money in July
and saved up over $300. My church was having a
toy drive for the families at Camp Pendleton so
I bought all kinds of toys for that. After my
mom told someone we knew about what I did he
said, "O.k. i'll match that." God really does
work in amazing ways and all we have to do is
trust him to do what he knows is right.
Jennessa Voss

Thank you for helping make our four children's
Christmas bright.

Christmas and Happy New Year.

greatest gift of Life is to be able to give.

" Hi, I live locally in San Juan Capistrano
and would like to help with presents for
Christmas. I did this last year and it made
my family happy to know we were helping
people who were risking their lives for our
freedom and the freedom of others. We would
like to help #173.

Thank you so much once again for the web
site you came up with. I have had several
people help me. Mr. Ben Young has a friend

finally will have housing at Ft. Bragg on

I do have one more request if you can please
