The Chili Box was great! The guys here love the dry soup mixes. I only got one because they were the first to go. The chili powder and seasonings salts were also top notch. Everything looks good as far as your list goes. We are due home in September. Thanks again for the chili,

While we were at the Bernalillo Wine Festival we had our New Mexico Foods for Troops sign hanging on our tent. A young man came up and ask us about the project. I explained what we were doing and told him we had sent our first box to a unit of Marines. He grinned and said, "I was one of those Marines who received some of the product from you. You can not know how much we appreciated getting that box of New Mexico goodies". It gave me goose bumps when he said it and it does every time I tell someone about it. Join us in our endeavor and you too can get that wonderful feeling!

Sir/Ma'am

We recently received two large boxes of New Mexico products and want to pass along our heartfelt thanks from the troops in Iraq. The salsa, pistachios, honeystixs and the dehydrated green chili was among the best!   A taste from home could not have come at a better time! We took the liberty of taking a picture with some of the products to show our appreciation.

Again, from the NM Air National Guard men and women deployed we sincerely thank-you for all your commitment and support.
