Dear Billy and Kevin, I want you to know how much I Love and miss you! I think of you every minute of every day I am here in Iraq. Your pictures are in my hat, my helmet, on the windshield of the HMMWV I drive through Tikrit everyday and all over the walls of my CHU. I would also like to thank all the wonderful Americans who may not support the politicians, but never falter to let their Military personnel know they care. The packages we receive are like Christmas presents. I respond to everyone who puts a note in a box I get if they put ayway to contact them. email, snailmail, whatever. I thank you ALL!!!! ~~TSgt Bill ------/USAF, Johnston, R.I.
Hello everyone...this is my second tour here in Iraq and it gives me a very good feeling to know that there folks back in the states that have redirected their negatives views on the war to positive support of our troops, US, the men and women of our great nation. I would like to thank each and every one of you who support us and ALWAYS make our return home that much more pleasurable...with that said I sincerely hope the support continues and hope to be home really soon. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! ~~MSgt ------, USAFR, Ft Worth
I would like to say 'Thank you' for your support. It really means a lot to hear and read things from friends and family back home. Thank you East Tennessee!! ~~Gregory A. ------/SGT/U.S. Army, Mount Carmel, Tenn.
I want to say thank you to everyone at home for all the support you have shown the troops. My Airmen and I appreciate all the kind words, cards, and packages we receive from home. Thank you again, and keep all of our men and women in uniform in your prayers. ~~Aaron -------,Capt/US Air Force, Seth, W.Va.
I just want to say thank you for all your support from back home. It's nice to hear positive instead of constant negative. Those of us over here just want you to know that we fight for our country because we love it so much. And it is nice to hear that OUR country LOVES US as much as WE LOVE IT. Thanks again for the kind words and support. ~~SSgt Ralph S -------, USAF, Little Rock AFB, Ark.
Like many of my brothers and sister of the Armed Forces I have multi tours for OEF and OIF. I would like to extend my personal gratitude for all of the support we military members receive from you on a daily basis. For it is individuals like yourselves who help make this nation great regardless of ones beliefs regarding politics. Thank you and Semper Fi... ~~Gunny N, GySgt Normandin USMC, Woonsocket, R.I.
Hello all you great Americans! I just wanted to thank you and express the pride I feel in knowing that there are people like you that still love us as much as we love you! The support that you give never goes unnoticed from those who really need it most. We appreciate you so much! Thanks for everything! ~~Jim ------,MSG US Army, Omaha
Thank you for all the support you give us, it is a much need morale boost after a long day. I get a chilling pleasure from all the support I receive from back home. Thanks a million. ~~Errol W ------, SGT/US Army, Irvington, N.J.
In coming over here, I learned about how generous and supportive people are. My church from back home prays for me every day and freshmen from my high school have sent care packages. I wish every service member over here could get support like that. I'm stationed in a fairly quiet section of Iraq, but I have traveled to other bases where Soldiers go out on missions almost every day. Those are the ones who need the most support, and sometimes I feel a little guilty that I have it pretty easy compared to them. I sincerely hope that they can return safe and whole in mind, body, and spirit. ~~Christopher ------, SPC / Army, Dolton, Ill.
Thank you everyone for the support, it really is helping me get through my first deployment. Especially when I am missing the birth of my daughter, and that really depresses me. Anyways, once again thank you for your support, and God Bless everyone. ~~Sean ------/SPC/US ARMY, Mobile, Ala.
Right now I am sitting in tent in Iraq. I am normally a member of the MDANG. I am serving a rotation in Iraq. All of the messages that I have read on site are pretty amazing and I want you all to know that the fire fighters I am so privileged to lead and I are truly touched by your messages. Thank you. All of the American and Coalition troops are the most terrific people it has been my honor to meet. But, I have to tell you all about the Fire Dawgs I serve with. From the Air National Guard and Active Duty Air Force, they are truly the most amazing bunch of young people I have ever been around. People have asked me why I don't retire with all of the time I have in the military. Well, I could retire and go to Florida and play shuffleboard or I can stay in and hang out with the finest young people America has to offer the world. It is kind of a no-brainer. I am so privileged and humble to be allowed serve with them. They are the greatest. To the Fire Dawgs and my American and Canadian supporters, thank you so much for ALL YOU DO! ~~Chuck ------, SMSgt
Thank you all for the support though I have been in Iraq for the past year and soon to be home I am eager to learn of the 'Freedom Walk' for 9/11 and veterans. I cannot wait to put that on my calendar and do that walk! ~~PFC ------, ARNG, Danbury, Conn.
Thanks to all of you for the wonderful letters, they keep us going over here. I want to thank all of you for the support, letters, and care packages as they make our life a little more bearable over here in the Middle East. You are the reason we are here doing what we have to do in order to assure that all have a chance at the quality of life that we have back home. From me and my squad thanks so very much for all you do to support us. ~~Stacy -----/SSG/Army, Harlem, Mont.
Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am writing to tell you, THANK YOU! I know everybody says thank us for serving. But I am now saying thank you. YOU truly are the driving force behind the US Armed forces. Without a wife, mom, dad, brother, sister, and friends. We don't have a reason to be here fighting. And it's because of all of you that we VOLUNTEER for this job. Well aware of the risks involved. I was in Iraq during the invasion of 2003, I went again to Iraq in 2005. I am currently stationed in Afghanistan for the year of 2007. And I would GLADLY do it all again to keep all of you safe. Sincerely, ~~SGT Brett A. -----, Army, Opelika, Alabam, N.C.
Hi, my name is PFC Hall. I have been in the military for a little bit over two years. I'm currently serving at my 2nd duty station which is USAG Humphreys,S. Korea. I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the support from everyone. Everyone underestimates what all we have to go through on a daily basis. Getting support from you all makes it worth it and makes me even prouder to wear my uniform. This is soemthing I have wanted to do since I was in the 3rd grade. I can't see me doing anything else. So once again, thanks for the support and hopefully many other soldiers will find out about this website and realize they are not alone. ~~PFC -----, Montgomery,AL
We are always soliciting, receiving and shipping forward items which have been specifically requested by the troops. Especially outside the established holidays. Who are these "troops"?
