areas. With the kind and
generous support of

Operation Gratitude will

millionth care package

GIVING BACK
The Sheraton San Diego’s charitable event began with an emotionally-charged story by Boyd Young.
A Veteran of the United States Army, Young recounted his combat experiences in Operation Iraqi
Freedom in 2004 where he served as a Food Service Operations Specialist and Combat Lifesaver.
The firsthand account of receiving care packages and the morale a small letter from home can bring
to troops overseas helped connect associates to a purpose for the charity event. Associates worked
through a series of engaging teamwork exercises, wrote letters, loaded up goodie-bags and sealed
packages with care. The team assembled over 75 care packages with hundreds of hand-written
thank you letters scheduled for shipment to overseas military installations this holiday season.
OPERATION GRATITUDE CARE PACKAGES
With the help of the Sheraton San Diego and countless donations, Operation Gratitude has sent
over 200,000 chock-full care packages this year to tens of thousands of brave men and women
still deployed overseas, to families anxiously awaiting back home, to Veterans, new recruits, first
responders, wounded heroes and their care givers. The expressions of love and concern from fellow
citizens offer our Military and First Responders a much deserved “Thank you for your service” and
are always greeted with enthusiam and great appreciation. Every box, towel, book, pen and pencil,
notebook, toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, puzzle, magazine, letter, piece of candy... means a lot
when they are away from home. It gives hope, confidence, happiness, strength and pride.
LUXURY IN THE FIELD OF BATTLE
Every day necessities in the civilian world typically include hot food, cell phones, running water, and
a warm bed to sleep in. “We’re on our feet a lot when we’re deployed. Accordingly, our feet can take
a beating. The best way for us to keep our feet dry, clean and comfortable is with clean socks and
foot powder. Things like high-quality body wash, Vicks, VapoRub, lip balm, and pain-relieving topical
creams such as IcyHot aren’t a necessity but can be a real luxury!”
