KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany \u2013 One of the joys of the holidays is gift giving, and the team at the Remote Maintenance and Distribution Center-Ukraine in Poland experienced this recently when they received care packages and gift boxes from a group of kind-hearted people on the other side of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to everyone who helped lift the holiday spirits within our formation,\u201d said Lt. Col. Michael Liles, the RDC-U commander. \u201cYour act of kindness goes a long way for all of the troops here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Army Maj. Janet Williams, who also works at the RDC-U, said she wanted to personally express her gratitude to everyone who continues to keep her and her fellow Soldiers in mind while they\u2019re deployed abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could not do what we do without the love and support from people like you. Thank you, and may God continue to bless you,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n

The team of Soldiers and civilians who work at the RDC-U received multiple holiday care packages and gift boxes in the mail from a group of very giving people back in the states. The boxes included snacks and goodies and things that deployed Soldiers overseas find useful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire team at our restaurant, along with our fine patrons, are grateful for what you do,\u201d said Nick Mikus, the founder of Nick\u2019s Ristorante in Huntsville, Alabama, and the person who organized the care packages. \u201cWe appreciate your sacrifices and your patriotism as you keep all of us here at home protected with the freedoms we enjoy, and we look forward to your safe return home very soon.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Master Sgt. George Barker, the senior enlisted advisor at the RDC-U and Army Field Support Battalion-Mannheim, responded to Mikus, a retired Soldier himself, with much gratitude in return.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sincere gratitude and appreciation to you and your team,\u201d Barker said to Mikus in an email. \u201cThank you for taking the time to send us these care packages. Your consideration for others during this holiday season is truly what Christmas is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt came as a total surprise and was the highlight of my day,\u201d added Sgt. 1st Class Tyson Glover. \u201cI’m grateful for your support and wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n
