To: Glendale Boys Soccer & Boosters
Many thanks for a great soccer ball drive for Iraq. We sent a 58 lb. box to Captain Fyfe in Iraq on June 20, 2004 which was packed full of more than 40 soccer balls and equipment. Below is the text of the letter we sent with the package to Captain Fyfe.In addition, I included information on the Glendale Boys Soccer Program (and the Lake Country Soccer Association). We appreciate your support and efforts in collecting all of these items. You all did a fantastic job!
As soon as we hear anything from Captain Fyfe or others — we will let you know. I am certain the troops and Iraq youth will be most appreciative of your efforts.
Sincerely,
Nancy Parsons
Our letter to Captain Fyfe:
June 19, 2004
Dear Captain Fyfe:
We heard about your request for soccer balls and equipment on Fox & Friends with Brian Kilmeade. Lake Country Soccer Association and Glendale High School Soccer of Springfield, Missouri sought donations. We are happy to send you this huge box of soccer balls and things we collected.
We wanted to let you and your troops know that we are proud of what you are doing and wanted to help in some way. Leave it to a soccer coach to find a great way to reach out to the Iraq youth! Who knows — maybe someday one of your youth teams (Iraq or USA) can visit Springfield for a friendly match.
We wish you, your troops and the Iraq youths the best. Many thanks for your service.
God Bless You All,
Nancy, Bill, Matthew, & Andrew Parsons, and Frank Roth
