[Boxes sent as of 3/1/10: "12"]

These were the boxes we shipped out on March 1st and much to my surprise they arrived on March 7th.
Eight of the boxes went to Foward Operating Base, Fenty and the 240th Foward Surgical Team (240th FST) Airborne located in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
The other four went to a Marine in Lima Company,
also in Afghanistan. We received a "Thank You" from the
240th FST, it reads as follows:
Members of the FDNYRMA,
I would like to personally thank you on behalf of the 240th Forward Surgical Team Airborne for the care packages you have sent us.
The support that Americans like you give us is very much appreciated and is what also keeps our Troops as strong as we are. The packages you sent us were sent out to our unit representative who ensures everybody in our team gets what they need and she normally sends Thanks to anyone that has sent our team a package. However I felt the obligation to respond to your organization personally on mine and my Units' behalf.
Let me tell you about our Unit:
We are a 20 soldier team that provides immediate surgical intervention to any of our fine Americans hurt on the battlefield.
We are staffed with Medics, Nurses, Surgeons, Anesthesia and Surgical Technicians. The 240th is out of Ft. Bragg, NC,
"Home Of The Airborne",
and our soldiers are well trained paratroopers as well as very skilled in their individual professions. Unlike the conventional Combat Support Hospitals our unit moves up as close to our combat arms units, to be able to provide care within the first "Golden Hour". Well enough about us. I would finally like to thank all of you that have served in the Fire Department and have many times put yourself in harms way in support of the daily mission
 in the Home Front.
Myself and the rest of the 240th FST say "AIRBORNE"
and "THANK YOU" with all of our hearts for all the support
and everything you are also doing for our Country.
                                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                                   V/R
                                                                                         SSG Pagan

We also received a Thank You Letter from
Corporal Waldon, Lima Co.,  3rd Battalion, 4th Marines, he writes:
"I would like to take time to Thank You for your care packages that you sent to me during my time in Afghanistan. (he has since returned) I kept the FDNY Patch and I am going to have it sewn on my pack that I carried around Afghanistan. Everything that was sent was spread loaded to my squad. We were all very grateful for the money, effort and time that were put into it. All packages are moral boosters to the Marines. When I seen that it was from the FDNY, it was much better. To us that lets us know that even though the war on terror has been going on for 9 years, we are still getting the support of the folks back home, and that means alot. Your packages were instrumental to our morale and gave us the motivation to carry out and accomplish our mission in clearing and securing the once desolate Nowzad Valley and giving it back to the civilians that are trying to make a life for themselves. Once again, Thank You for everything you have done.
"Semper Fidelis"
Respectfully,
Brandon Waldon
-USMC
We are grateful to Brandon for his letter and even more grateful to Brandon and his unit for their success in Afghanistan...
