ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.

The doorbell rang this morning and I opened it to find a care package from my parents waiting for me! My dad remembered that I liked the trail mix he and mom brought when they visited. So it started with that, and it ballooned from there. The menu you see (and t-shirt draped over the box) is from a pizza place in The Outer Banks, NC that my parents and I visited a lot each summer. The newspaper is from the Style section of the 8.4.08 Washington Post, with a feature about Shanghai.

We called Brenda to tell her I was sick and she came over with all of this. And gave me her doctor's appointment slot since they were full and she herself was quite sick. She took care of me and waited until the next day to learn from the doctor that she had Giardia. I must have been pretty bad for a sick person to say "woah, you're sick!"

I came home from my morning saturday class to find this package at my doorstep. I had no idea what it was, or any hint of what Angel would be sending me. The second I opened it, I automatically burst into tears. Angel, one of the most amazing women in the world, put together a beautiful and brilliant care package for me. And doing this with a theme is asking a very important question! Every single item included in my package is something I would see in the store and fall in love with instantly. I love you, Angel. You are kind beyond words, and loving to the point of no comparison. And of course, the answer is YES! I would love to be your bridesmaid! A thousand times yes! I can't wait to help make your big day a perfect memory you will cherish for a lifetime! Let's get this party started!

Students from St. Stephens Lutheran School turn donated goodies from North Carolina businesses into care packages at Hackney Service Merchandisers in Hickory, North Carolina for deployed North Carolina National Guard Soldiers via the NCNG Soldiers & Airmen Assistance Fund, Jan. 31, 2018. Members of Soldiers and Airmen Fund and retired NCNG leaders Air National Guard Col. Steven Martin and Army National Guard Sgt. Maj. Dennis Roach and Col. Drew Goodwin helped plan the event with Hickory businessman and retired Army Reserve Command Sgt. Maj. Dean Cline Sr. Hackney provided storage space for the $250,000 worth of snacks and comfort items. The 23 St. Stephens' students made quick work of loading up the nearly 500 care packages soon to be shipped to deployed NCNG Soldiers worldwide. Cline used years of experience in shipping and his business contacts to get donations for the packages. "You have to know how it works, connections mean everything," said Cline. In less than 2 hours the last package is taped shut, one for each deployed Soldier. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Robert Jordan / Released)
