What a heartwarming thing to do. My cousin is in Iraq and we talk every couple of days via instant messaging. He keeps me updated and what goes on over there. What our soldiers do for us and for the people in Iraq is amazing. To have Mr Walker give his heart into doing this and show our soldiers how much we care and how thankful we are is more than words can say! Thank you Mr. Walker! You are truly a wonderful loving man!

Mr Walker
check the usps flat rate military box provided by the post office... i have found for most of my packages it is the least expensive way to ship... 10.95 no weight restrictions.... it is smaller than the box I see in the newspater picture but it holds quite a lot of stuff...

Mike is truly a "Great American" and always has been. He is so passioante about our troops & just wants to do what he can to maybe put a smile on some of their faces & remind them that we are behind them still. Thank you for all your hard work & always being an amazing and caring person. I am so glad more people will be able to see what a wonderful, compassionate person you are that I have known for over 7 years now. I am so proud of what you are doing!!

I am glad to see we still have decent people still around like this man & his wife. Thank you
I will be visiting soon to bring my family buy to donate some stuff to our brave U.S Soldiers. This is a very nice thing he is doing. Thanks again and to all my family & the Brave Men & Women that are serving for our Country, I just want to say be safe take care of business and get the job done. My gratitude goes out to all of you. USMC, USAF, US ARMY, US NAVY, COAST GUARD & all of the Special Forces there who are doing a GREAT JOB by protecting us and making the world a better place.

I just want to say that what this man is doing as well as all of the people who contribute is a great thing. I recently returned from serving a tour overseas and was always happy to receive a care package from a stranger. I think it does the greatest good to those serving that receive little or no mail, it reminds them that someone back home is thinking of them and rooting them on. It is a funny thing how a package of candy and old magazines can boost moral so much. Mr. Walker, THANK YOU, keep up the great work.

My husband is on the list that Mike Walker sends packages too. That is the only motivation that the guys get over there and lifts their spirits up. I am pregnant and with a 5 year old daughter and my husband is missing our next child's birth as well as our first one. It means a lot to a lot of wives what he is doing. He deserves a lot of recognition for what him and his family does.
Thank you!!
