Our Soldier: Michael Cowan
My friend Denise started a Team on BakingGals.com which recruits people to send care packages to Soldiers. Aaron and I felt privileged to be part of something to help the men & women who secure our Freedoms everyday.
Fortunately, we are in a position to be able to help.
We did not bake instead we went out and bought items we thought he would enjoy and/or need, Such as:
5 pks Beef Jerky
3 cans Chips
2 pks Crackers (from my parents)
2 Crossword puzzle Books
4 Journal notebooks
4 Pens
2 Lip Balm
2 Packages of Gum
8 bxs Raisins
3 Beef Summer Sausages
Penlight
Gel Pad for his shoes
Deck of Cards
2 Icy Hot patches
2 pks Mints
1 bag Butterscotch discs
Kenneth Cole ‘Black’ (small)
Dude rag (black)
… and some other things I just cant remember right now.
Plus Aaron wrote him a lovely 1 page letter that I placed inside before I sealed it. I had to fill out a customs form etc to send the box as Soldier Cowan is currently serving a 15 month stint in Iraq and only 5 months in to his tour.
He is the husband of Mandi & Father of 3 little girls:
Glenna (who has a heart condition), Alexis & Brooklyn
When he returns from Iraq he will return to Fort Hood Texas where he moved from Tennessee 2 years ago.
If over the next 10 months you find yourself compelled to write Michael a note of encouragement or thanks for his service you may send letters to:
SPC E4 Cowan, Michael
HHC 4th BDE, 1st CD
APO AE 09331
Remember if it were not for people like him we would be fighting over here instead.
Thank you for the freedom & safety you provide us Michael !!
As Aaron said to you in his letter:
“Though you may feel alone at times, always know the forces of liberty, democracy and freedom are higher powers that empower you. You are their messenger.”
Keep the course, watch your back, keep your head down, kick ass and come home !
JAaron & Heather Anderson
