Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 WOW the AUSSIES win the first responder award, we heard back from an Australian Major for the first feedback on our efforts. Here is his email (with permission and name removed of course!)-just so you all know we are serving ALL troops, not just our own from USA; Jim has access to NATO troops from over 50 countries besides ours.....and he is quite enjoying strolling his suupplies through undiscovered parts of Camp Phoenix and handing out stuff, meeting lots of soldiers he wouldn't have met. (and this means that even if you don't live in the USA know we are taking care of your troops too). " " Dear ladies, By way of introduction, my name is Major *************, and I am currently serving in support of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan with Jim. I was taken a back by your organisations generosity and consideration with the care package of aromatherapy goods that you have sent to the forces. Your aromatherapy items were received in the most positive manner here. As you can imagine we live in quite confined living quarters with limited to no ventilation. Now I have the pleasure of walking into my sleeping space with a scent I feel more relaxed in and I am certainly no longer confronted with the musty smell of Afghanistan. I have made use of the scented air spray and germ spray consistently in my room to rid it of bad odors and to clean my living area to remain germ free and healthy. Along with being more relaxed the scents also generally remind me of the normalcy of home. With the flu season now upon us I am aware that your products have also brought some relief to my mates affected with sinus congestion. Jim has done a great job explaining to people about our organisation and distributing the items in the care pack. Just so you are aware of who your care packages are reaching, I am actually an Australian from Darwin in the Northern Territory. I understand that you have visited Australia Sylla, and I can only hope that you were treated with the same friendliness that your countrymen have treated me both here and from people like yourselves back in the States. With my thanks, yours sincerely ********(removed) Major Australian Cavalry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Sylla, I don't know about the rest of the companies who donate, but we at Samara Botane feel that the gratitude expressed here is the best Thanksgiving gift we can get. With all that is wrong with the world, and all who are suffering, to know that we are making some small difference swells our hearts. I am grateful to you, dear one, and Geraldine who have tirelessly kept this effort afloat, and I am glad to do anything I can to help. Raising a toast to UAE and all our combined efforts at my Thanksgiving table this Thursday.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 One more thing, Syl. Has the Major given permission to use his letter broadly to promote UAE? IOW, can everyone quote it in a blogpost or flyer? Might be a good time to raise additional money if people were encouraged to do this. Marcia _____ ATFE [ATFE ] On Behalf Of Sylla S.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks for asking Marcia. He said: " I am more than happy for you to quote any of my comments. Anything to help. " so its OK but I have lots more comments that Jim is compiling for me with some photos we can share, which will be more comprehensive (any day now) AND we will issue the official PR shortly or just go ahead and do what you think! I dont mind anyone sharing anything I put on here about UAE! I count on it. But I know how you feel, I was so excited yesterday, I had to share this soon as I got it!!....it is funny that after he sent the email, and I replied right away, Jim walked in the office right as he was reading my return email and took his pic and sent me, amazing technology and internet, seeing soldiers across the world!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 YES Marge!! pretty sure because yours was the first to go direct, after some misc pkgs of ours (with very few sprays, no germ spray....) , so it sounds like what the Major is describing is your very own products!! and you have permission to share his words. Pretty sure its what the General got too **who Jim said he was " so impressed he would fly a flag over Phoenix and send to us " !!! if this happens, we will share it with all suppliers), so the timing was right. We will have a pic of guys using their inhalers coming shortly along with some of their words we can post!! very exciting!! HOpe you are feeling back to normal now!! love Syl - Marge Clark ATFE Saturday, December 05, 2009 12:42 AM Re: Aussies win at " first gratitude " for UAE supplies At 05:10 AM 11/24/2009, Sylla wrote: >I have made use of the scented air spray and germ spray consistently in my >room to rid it of bad odors and to clean my living area to remain germ >free and healthy.
