"I just flew into DFW on leave from Iraq. I would like to thank you and all who came to cheer us as we got off the plane. The best way I heard it described was, I felt like a celebrity walking down the red carpet.' Please let the people know that, if soldiers seemed unresponsive, it is only because they felt they had to keep their emotions in and they felt undeserving. But to a man, they all said it was one of the best things that every happened to them. This 'thanks' comes from the deepest reaches of my soul."
- An Army Major


"I would like to let you know that I have received the package you sent us, containing many phone cards and magazines. These phone cards will definitely bring our hard-working and homesick shipmates a little closer to home. It is with grateful appreciation that we extend our thanks for all that your great organization (USO) has done and continues doing for us and our troops."
- The Fleet Surgical Team, USS Essex
