Operation Gratitude Says Thank You to Adel

The Adel Auto Parts Corporation received warm thanks for collecting Operation Gratitude donations last fall.

Adel Auto Parts Corp. collected items from around the community, including a special donation collected by students in the ADM School District.

In the Thank You letter from Operation Gratitude a Private First Class wrote:

“I cannot express to you how great it feels to come home after a long day of running missions to find a care package full of love sitting on your bunk. You are exhausted from wearing 50 plus pounds of armor for hours on end, then you open the package, see all that love, and are rejuvenated and ready to face the world again. It may sound small but it really does help enormously. Our location doesn’t have a real PX so we rely on the support of people at Operation Gratitude for the items we need–not to mention the morale boosting items such as cookies or candy. You all are the true heroes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
