Dear Reader,

I am honored and excited to announce that Operation Courage Is Beautiful won a $5000 Grant! Operation Courage Is Beautiful – Supporting Military Women will be receiving this generous grant from the Southbay Expressway (toll road 125) (SBXThe125).

We were one charity chosen out of over 200 charities nominated due to the efforts of just one OCIB supporter’s nomination (thanks Genevieve!). We are very excited as this grant is enough to send over 400 more boxes of care packages! Thank you SBX!!!!!!

Regards,

Cindy Chan

Operation Courage Is Beautiful Care Packages

The following is a personal message from Female Soldier Phyllis E., currently serving in Afghanistan. Thank you ladies for your contribution and sacrifice!

Dear Folks -

Today I received the best package! I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciated the contents. I get lots of mail. But this was the nicest I received since arriving in Kandahar. The quality of items was just incredible. I may be a Soldier but I am all female and I know good stuff. Clinique make-up!!!!! OMG!!!

I went back to my little living area and just cried. You have no idea how something such as this made me feel so special.

Thank you. Thank you.

Phyllis E.
