12/25/10 One of our most treasured letters this last Christmas:

"I am the wife of a deployed soldier.  It is Christmas eve for me here in Utah, and Christmas morning in Iraq for my husband.  We were talking through the computer and I got the opportunity to watch him open the package that was sent to him.  I could tell that he had been feeling sad lately and missed being home especially with the holidays.  When he was opening your package and reading the notes written, he was a whole different person.  It made him so much happier and in turn, made me extremely happy as well.  Thank you for your support and please let me know how I can volunteer to help next year and with any other future projects.  I will have a lot of free time to help with whatever needs to be done.  Thank you for your response and for this wonderful program that you have started!"

  Jim Matheson, Working for Utah's Second District

 April 1, 2009

Knowing of your interest in veterans and military issues, I wanted to provide you with an update of recent congressional activity on this issue.

 When our soldiers are deployed, particularly to combat areas, their families immediately feel their absence.  These families are suddenly separated from their loved ones by thousands of miles, and often the only connection they have is the occasional telephone call or letter.  Our government recognizes the need for soldiers to maintain contact with their families and friends by allowing them to send mail and packages home postage-free. However, no corresponding benefit exists from the U.S. to the men and women serving in the Armed Forces.  Military families, many of them in financial distress, are forced to bear the expense of shipping packages and letters on their own.

 Recently, I co-sponsored H.R. 707, "The Home Front to Heroes Postal Benefits Act," which will give members of the Armed Forces serving in combat operations a free monthly postal benefit they can transfer to their loved ones. Members of the Armed Forces could also choose to donate their vouchers to charitable organizations, such as those that send care packages to soldiers. This simple, common sense legislation recognizes the integral role that care packages play in boosting the morale of the brave men and women serving our country in uniform. By providing much needed monetary relief to senders, this legislation shows appreciation for the sacrifices made not just by American soldiers, but also the people who love them.

If you have any questions or concerns about this topic or any others, please feel free to contact my office.


 

Sincerely,

Message from Congressman Jim Matheson

November 30, 2007

Dear Ms. Denise,

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the collection of letters and packages of support for soldiers currently serving overseas. I appreciate your interest in the issues facing our country and state, and I am happy to respond. When you contact me, you help me to better represent Utah in Congress.

I greatly appreciate all the work you are doing to ensure that our brave soldiers currently serving overseas receive the recognition they deserve. Especially during the holidays, sending them care packages and letters from their families, friends, and communities can improve the morale of our troops. I have always been a strong supporter of our brave young and men who serve in the military, and I will continue to ensure that they get the funding they need both when they are abroad and when they return.

Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with me. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact my office.

Sincerely,

- Two brothers went to fight. One went to find out why. The highly acclaimed documentary, "Brothers at War," celebrates the courage and integrity of the American soldier and the American family. We'll speak with Jake Rademacher - filmmaker, actor and brother, on his directoral debut.



"'Come Back Home' was written in the wake of me losing my longtime drummer and former Army soldier John C. Williams. But the song started off as a reflection of how a military couple deals with separation. After the release of Come Back Home, Johns little brother was killed by an IED in Iraq. His name was Blake Williams. His platoon used this track as the audio to a memorial slide show presentation they did in March of 2008. It was for all the courageous men and women they had lost in the month of March. I am humbled by their service to our great country and I hope this song brings them some peace. My father served in Vietnam and I truly appreciate their dedication and bravery." -Pat McGee
