With Chuckals support, Tacoma Art Museum was able to provide sketch pads to visitors of all ages to record their thoughts and emotions after being inspired in their galleries.

To show their appreciation to the donations provided by Chuckals, Tacoma Art Museum wanted to share a few sketches of their visitors personal creativity.

	With familes all around the country dealing with or knowing someone that serves currently overseas, this hit Chuckals close to home. One of our own, Jamie Pierce ~ Government Account Manager has had to deal with her husband serving his 2nd deployment overseas.

	With overwhelming support from her family here at Chuckals, we were able to collect over 9 full boxes of items to send over to Iraq to help bring joy and support to the wonderful men and women who are currently serving our country.
Continued support through local business is what allows Chuckals to share stories like this to everyone!

A few words that SSG Justin Pierce, had to share regarding the boxes he and his soldiers received from everyone here at Chuckals:

"I am very grateful for what Chuckals does to support soldiers during deployment all around the world. It is hard to express how gratified I am with words when it comes to things like this. I understand Chuckals is dedicated to supporting all soldiers but to me it is the people behind the support which keeps Chuckals going."

"The intent with my solders was I wanted my soldiers to be able to understand the same kind of support I received from organizations like Chuckals during my first deployment. To give them the understanding that outside the immediate family realm support exists...it exists for the soldier and the soldiers cause."

"It is truly hard to put words around something when I opened the packages and shared them with my soldiers. It felt like Christmas for my guys, their faces lit up, sometimes watching even the hardest soldier's express thanks is amazing. Your packages allow them to understand there are people who care about them, people who care about them but they have never had the opportunituy to meet. From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you again, your packages are a huge moral booster and a calm reality for which goes on outside of the chaos that we as engineers undergo fighting the current IED threat which sadly enough takes more soldiers everyday. Thank you again and God Bless."
