Congratulations to Captain Walter Paczkowski and the men of the North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue for their outstanding support of T-Shirts for Troops. Captain Paczkowski has a special incentive to get involved since his nephew, Shane, is currently serving in Iraq in the 501st Paratrooper Infantry Regiment.Captain Paczkowski writes:
The final tally:
We sold 295 T-shirts and we sent 531 to troops.
The order was shipped last week.
I didn't realize the work and time involved
but it was such a success it was well worth the effort!
On behalf of my son, Shane Paczkowski,
and all the men and women of the
501st Paratrooper Infantry Regiment
stationed in Iskandariyah, Iraq,
I want to personally thank you
and all who helped sell the T shirts
to show your support for them.
I can only imagine how good they must feel
when they see the
outpouring of thoughtful support from home.
North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue Dept.
has done an outstanding job,
but without you it means nothing.
Your concern and compassion for those who sacrifice
for us is to be commended. I believe my brother
Captain Walter Paczkowski told me that you shipped
over 500 shirts to those heroes.
I myself am a Air Force veteran ,
a retired Captain from North Hudson Regional ,
and my wife and I are members of the
Blue Star Mothers, Chapter #1 of NJ,
which is parents of military personal on active duty.
We also support veterans
who have served and still deserve our thanks.
We consider it an honor to be
connected to this venture
to support all our troops around the world.
Thank you once again.
Please, I ask that you be patient for
an answer or letter or email from my son.
We have very little contact with him because of where he is in Iraq.
He has hardly any computer access
and has to walk two miles to a phone
when he even has a chance to call his wife and son
before calling us.
We hear from him maybe once a month and
with today's technology that really stinks.
So again, please be patient.
May Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ watch over
you and your family always
Rich and Barbara Paczkowski
