CW2 Dalrymple writes:Good morning, I have been a long time customer - being in the military, it is nice to know you all are but a click away - service has always been great. Recently, I called and ordered a care package sent to a great friend of mine in Baghdad, Iraq. It arrived yesterday, during the takedown of Sadam - The direct quote and photo from LTC Kurt Hoffmann, US Army, Engineer follows:As I stepped inside tonight from observing the gunfire style celebrations, I found a large box on my desk. I was hesitant to open it because I did not recognize the sender, "CI Fulfillment". Anyway the AT/FP guys looked it over, as did everyone else in my shop and after much encouragement, I opened it. Phil Kaufmann and Tom Dalrymple, God bless you both for this surprise. Everyone here is amazed. I am humbled.Thanks from my heart!KurtI thought I would share and inform you that you made a lot of men happy in IRAQ yesterday - although we didn’t know it..
