CONTINUING OUR FOCUS ON

WHAT MATTERS MOST—Supporting Our Troops

By Kim Bogucki, Logistics Administration

With support from the Bame Foundation, a non-profit organization in Minnesota who supports
nationally and globally for causes benefitting the youth, elderly and the betterment of humankind,
®
and from our customer, Lube Tech, PURELL wipes, along with numerous other items, were
donated to U.S. Armed Forces Troops around the world to thank them for their service during this
holiday season.

The Troop Boxes are just a small token of our appreciation for the soldiers who are sacrificing to
protect our freedom. Even still, the Troops were overwhelmed with appreciation and gratitude for
the Troop Boxes. We received several notes of appreciation, including one from 3rd Platoon
Commander, Lt. Frazile and 3rd Platoon Sergeant, SSgt. Mowen said,

“It is amazing to see the continued generosity and love from home after so many
years. Your kindness is spread throughout our company and raises the morale and
spirits of each Marine. As the holiday seasons approach, we reflect on our families
and loved ones at home. Yours and so many others support strengthens our resolve
to endure these hardships. We will continue to safeguard America, our freedoms,
and our way of life.”
