Operation Gratitude Distributes Gift Packages to NYPD Officers at Brooklyn's 83rd Precinct
Packages filled with an assortment of small gifts and a handwritten letter were given to each of the officers thanks to "Operation Gratitude," which was founded by Carolyn Blashek.
"It's really to say thank you to all the men and women of our country who serve, defend us and risk their lives every day," Blashek explained.
In the last 18 years, Operation Gratitude has delivered 3.2 million care packages to troops, veterans and first responders.
This past January, it teamed up with the NYPD's Health and Wellness Unit.
