Operation Gratitude is a nonprofit that assembles and sends care packages to troops serving overseas. To commemorate the occasion of its 300,000th package sent, Jeep ensured that particular box would contain a little extra "Thank You" in the form of keys to a brand new 2008 Jeep Liberty. Spc. Michael Gallagher (right), a vehicle commander from Company A, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division is currently stationed at FOB Warhorse in Baquba, Iraq. His name was the one randomly placed on box # 300,000. When informed by his CO that his attendance was required at a ceremony acknowledging the delivery, Gallagher recounts, "I thought it was just another care package and they were making a big deal about it because it was the 300,000th one." When he opened the box to find a letter from Chrysler and the Jeep keys, he realized exactly what the big deal was all about. Spc. Gallagher gets to pick up his new wheels when he returns to the States. While his new Liberty may be "Trail Rated," it won't hold a candle to his current work vehicle's off-road capabilities. Congratulations to him, a tip of the cap to Jeep for making his day, and thanks to the other men and women in uniform serving today. If you're interested in donating time or money to Operation Gratitude.
