Hearts to Heroes message to COL XXXXXXXX on Sunday, 6 Feb 22: “Hi xxxxxxxx! I wanted to check with you to see if you might have a Soldier that would like to try a Tongue Drum. I’ve attached a picture so you could see what one looks like. We shipped one of these to one of our Troops back in July 2021 (#313). The Troop that asked for this one has not responded to the email that I sent him about any changes in his deployment status or shipping address. After a few days when I haven’t received a response, I go to the next request. Since I don’t have another request for a Tongue Drum, I thought I would check with you to see if you knew of someone that would like it. If you know of someone, please let me know and I will ship it with your guitar and flute on either Monday or Tuesday. Thank You, Myra”
Message from COL xxxxxxxx on Monday, 7 Feb 22: “Hi Myra, Happy February…Can you believe it? I will ask tomorrow 8 FEB at our morning brief and let you know. Thank you for the consideration.”
Message from COL xxxxxxxx on Friday, 11 Feb 22: “Myra, Thanks so much. I will contact you as soon as the instruments arrive. Chaplain (CH) xxxxxxxx stated he would love to receive the Tongue Drum. I have included him in the email. He wasn’t aware of your program. Please share!! Thanks so much,”
Message from Chaplain xxxxxxxx on Friday, 11 Feb 22: “Hello Myra, Thank you so much for your willingness to support us with the instrument. That will be a great asset to God’s ministry here at xxxxxxxx.”
#359 was shipped to our Troops this afternoon!
God Bless America, God Bless Our Troops and God Bless Our Veterans!
