Good morning. My name is Sgt Felix M Baltierra III. My family was blessed
with one of your sponsors and I'd like to tell you on behalf of my wife
Petra and my two sons Julian and Noah thank you very much. I've been in the
United States Marine Corps nearly 6 years and this is the first time that
I've ever been thanked or blessed with such a gift to this level. I
understand that Christmas is a hard time for all families. But even harder
for military family because of the deployments and the constant change in
scenery for both spouses and children of military personnel. I'm glad to
know that there are families out there that don't not care to help out a
service member. I myself was very touch that we reicved gifts for my
children. Although they haven't opened the gifts I can tell when we got home
and put those first gifts under the tree their faces were full of smiles
from ear to ear to know that they got a gift for Christmas. I know for some
families even the smallest gift can put a huge dent into their budget but,
everyone at Bells of Freedom you truly have blessed my family with gifts
that will forever be in bedded in my heart and as well as my children. I am
thankful for other Americans that give to the Armed Forces of The United
States of America. And once again on behalf of The Baltierra Family thank
you for everything.
Sgt Baltierra, Felix M.

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to
ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll
break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall
in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too
many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never
been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances.
you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to
you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold
someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay
up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to
take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because
every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never
get back." - Unknown

Hello,
I want to express our thanks for all the wonderful things you and your organization have done for us this Christmas. It truly was a blessing and we are so grateful! This was a great program and we feel so blessed and fortunate to have been a part of it this year. Thank you again for all the amazing generosity that you have shown us, things like this really do warm our hearts. To know that there are people who are so willing to do things like this to let us know their appreciation is just amazing! Sometimes we get so caught up in all that happens in military life that it's nice to know that there are people out there willing to support us and help us have a better Christmas season, whether that be shown with gifts or just a kind word or support and love. Thank you for all that you do and have done to support military families. It is so appreciated!
