First of all we want to wish our troops well, and a healthy and speedy return to their families here in the United States.

We support them and we are very proud of the job that they are doing.

We hope you enjoy the great big smiles and joy on the faces of our fine men in the photos below, and that you enjoy these photos as much as we do.

 

Here is a quote from one of our troops.

"Thank you so much for the jerky we love this stuff, I put it in my cargo pocket and eat it on missions - thanks again."

Here is what Michelle Halpin, Solano Magazine's production manager at large, is a public affairs broadcast journalist, currently deployed to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, which is headquartered at Camp Lemonier, Djibouti, had to say about The Jerky Guy.

However, in a very roundabout way, my name was given to a group called Operation Care & Comfort out of San Jose (2731 North First St., 95134). And let me tell you, Julia DeMaria over there HOOKED US UP!! Over two days, we received two packages, which contained a ridiculous number of individually packaged care packages and random awesome stuff. Hand-sewn hats, socks, girl scout cookies, Starbucks coffee, an obviously expensive NFL football (which caused my two dear North Carolina groupies here to go absolutely bananas), hand warmers, snacks, personal letters of thanks and encouragement, actual reply addresses, comic books, beef jerky (the most awesome I've ever had and never heard of made by The Jerky Guy), Cup O'Noodles, and on and on and on. The mailing labels said it cost over $70 to get here!
