Bringing Comfort and Joy to Deployed Service Members

For those of us at home, it’s easy to take the holiday season for granted—sharing moments with family, sneaking a piece of candy from our kids’ trick-or-treat stash, hanging stockings with care, or simply enjoying a hot cup of coffee each morning.

But for our deployed Service Members, being away from loved ones and missing out on cherished traditions can be incredibly challenging.

Thanks to your support, we made sure they felt remembered and provided them with a small taste of home to brighten their season.

We recently received an incredible letter from a deployed Chaplain who has been continuously supported by Soldiers' Angels. His heartfelt words remind us of the immense impact a single piece of candy, a thoughtfully filled stocking, or a bag of coffee can have on those far from home.

Here's what Chaplain N. had to share:

Good day to Everyone at Soldiers’ Angels,

I am a deployed Chaplain and my partner and I want to express our sincere thanks for all your support. During the last several months in theater, the Angels and Donors have been an amazing source of blessing and encouragement for our troops. We have received a couple of hundred Christmas stockings, many care packages filled with hygiene items and snacks, coffee, and inspiring notes/letters.

The holidays, for many of us, did not feel quite the same for several reasons (i.e., being away from families/home, not being able to practice normal traditions, and work tempo remaining the same); however, your support allowed us to bring a ray of hope and cheer in a faraway land.

I cannot begin to express how thankful we are for how much care, time, and energy all of you put into thinking of us. We received many expressions of surprise and gratitude when we delivered these gifts. Also, we have been able to keep a couple of snack and coffee tables stocked because of you all.

For context, my partner and I are serving several hundred joint members in our immediate area and an additional several hundred personnel who are spread throughout our area of responsibility.

One moment that stuck out to me—during the delivery of some stockings to a different location on Christmas day, we came across a Sailor, whom I had met the night before, and I offered him a stocking. He was taken aback and said, “This is the only thing I received for Christmas.” It meant so much to him that, later that day, I had a mutual friend mention that he told her about receiving the stocking.

I am overwhelmed by everyone’s genuine care, concern, and love for our military members serving around the world. Thank you! Please share our sincere gratitude to each of the Angels and Donors who gave of their time, treasure, and talents. It made a difference in the lives of our Service Members.

— Chaplain N
