A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE

Connor Love is my hero. He’s just 9 7 years old, but this little man gets it. His parents have obviously raised him to love our country and the defenders of its values. Connor frequently sends us care packages that include my favorite candy bar – Snickers! Because I’m on a diet, I only allow myself one per week, but for that week I keep them in the freezer. Yum.
I just received this from Connor in one of my care packages and just wanted to share it. This little man is so inspiring and I hope to meet him in person one day. I sent him one of our flags a few months ago as thanks, but even that just seem to equal what we get.

Thank you CJ !! As his papa I am continually amazed by Connor and his dedication to helping the soldiers. He has helped me shop and pack boxes (495 sent in 2011) since he was 3 (he is now 7) and never lets up. He also has adopted the gravesite of a young soldier killed in Iraq and every Saturday we stop by so he can make sure its clean so his mom has a clean place when she visits. Howard

First I would like to say that Connor is an amazing drawer, he is so much better than me. Second, he shows so much care for what these men and women do overseas and I admire that. He has inspired me and I would like to start sending letters and mini care packages overseas. Thank you so much Connor and keep up the great work!

After reading this I am really interested in sending out care packages. To see the impact this little kid made made me realize that I too can make a big impact in someone’s life.

This is great that Connor is doing this. It shoes that he has motivation and integrity to do this for someone else. It’s a great way to teach someone how to have respect for grown ups and others. Great job Connor.
