Carol is a super human. She has been my angel while i am here in afghanistan serving a fifteen month tour. She has made life much easier for me with her goody boxes and her letters have taken me away to better places on those ruff days. She has encouraged me to stay focused and encouraged me so much. She made my Christamas and other holidays so special. I love her and will never forget her.

Loved this article on Carol! As a fellow Soldiers Angel I've seen Carol in action and know how hard she works to get lonely soldiers names out to us to write and support. It's a great program and the article was fantastic. Carol your table looks like my "Soldier's Closet" with all my shelves.
Til they all come home!

Carol, you are such an inspiration to all of us angels who get to work alongside you everyday!! It is so awesome to be a part of this wonderful organization(since 2004 for me)...and to meet such wonderful people!!! Thank you again...God Bless Us All!!
- Kim Souza Soldiers' Angel, Fall River, MA
Thank you for all you are doing Carol. It is an honor to be a fellow Angel.

Great Story! In these times we need more people in the world like Carol. I have known her most my life and it is no surprise to me that she volunteered in this way, she is truly a Solidiers Angel, Godspeed.
- Jonathan Hanson, Bow
Carol. We love, the soldiers love you and the TLC team at S.A. wouldn't be the same without you. No matter one's opinion on the war we need to support our own and you do it day in and day out.
Thanks, Love ya! Angel

What a wonderful thing to do! My husband has been to Iraq, and currently is going to Afghanistan in November. We would always send things to him, but he said other soldier would not receive anything, and he would share with them. This is a nice way to show support!

It is great to see a story like this published in the UL. If just a story like this can take us away from all the bad stuff we read on here daily, imagine what a letter from a complete stranger can do for someone who has no loved ones or support. Thank you, Carol. I plan to look into Soldiers' Angels myself.
- Kendra, Manchester, NH
Thank you Carol!
- Art, Portsmouth
I am a friend of Carol's and I know how important her soldiers are to her. We're so grateful to know someone like Carol who gives so much of herself to those who are fighting for our freedoms, may they all come home safely.
- Sarah Bergeron, Jaffrey
Carol, you are amazing and you are an incredible "Angel." You are always here for our Troops, be it writing a letter, sending a package or posting a new TLC so they can hear their names at mail call. Keep up the great Angeling.
~ Your Fellow Soldiers' Angel, Shawn ~

A wonderful surprise to see the inspiring story on Soldiers Angels, and especially Carol. She reminds us all how human this war is and adds a new dimension to caring and supporting our men and women.
- Susan, Hampstead
This is by far one of the best "military" stories I have read from The Union Leader. As a military member I know how great it makes me feel when I am deployed to get packages and letters, especially from complete strangers. It definitly helps the women and men of our Armed Forces get through these tough times away from family and friends. Thank you to all the people just like Ms. Cricenti. THANK YOU!!
- SSgt Richard Crotty, Hanscom AFB, Mass
What an inspirational story. God bless Carol and all our troops.
- Stacey, Hooksett
Carol, you have inspired me to look into Soldiers' Angels myself. While I do not support the war that we are in, I do support the people risking their lives so that I am safe.
- Rose, Manchester
What a great story. God bless President Obama and our fine troops for keeping us safe at home!
- Jake, Manchester
This is a very heart warming article. Letters and packages are our biggest morale boosts. To know that someone back home, whether we know the person or not, supports us and is thinking about us is very comforting.
Thank you to all who support our troops, you are more help than you know.
- Jamie, Germany
What a wonderful story ! May God bless and watch over this fine lady and our military men and women near and far.
