Letters from Your Soldiers
OCONUS, March 24, 2025 - Hello, I am [ ]. I received your care package today (March 24, 2025) and I am so very thankful. There wasn’t one thing in there that won’t be useful and there is so much that I can share with my fellow coworkers. I’d probably say that my favorite thing on there were the Burt’s Bee chapsticks. That’s all I will use and I literally just finished my last tube yesterday so it was ironic timing that I received this package from y'all with 3 tubes in it. I also really enjoyed reading the handwritten notes, especially one from a high school sophomore.

Washington, D.C. (April 17, 2025): Talk about one of the few and the brave! In this photo by Lance Corporal Abigail Hutcheson, Marine Corps Sergeant Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient, reenlists in a ceremony held at the Pentagon. Sergeant Meyer is the only Medal of Honor recipient currently serving in the Marine Corps.
He received the nation’s highest honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on September 8, 2009, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. Meyer is the second-youngest living Medal of Honor recipient and the third living recipient for either the Iraq War or the War in Afghanistan.
Meyer deployed to Fallujah, Iraq in 2007 as a scout sniper with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines. On September 8, 2009, near the village of Ganjgal, Meyer was told that three Marines and a Navy Corpsman, who were members of Meyer's squad, were missing after being ambushed by a group of insurgents.

PENTAGON, (March 1, 2025): The Pentagon is deploying a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion to the southwestern border, accelerating efforts to fulfill President Donald J. Trump's directive to bolster military support in securing the U.S. – Mexico border. The units, equipped with wheeled vehicle and air capabilities, are set to reinforce border operations in the coming weeks, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell announced today.
Each SBCT is a mechanized infantry force of approximately 4,400 soldiers, and the Army's nine SBCTs — seven active-duty and two National Guard — are known for their rapid deployment and versatility. Built around the Stryker vehicle — an eight-wheeled armored platform — the brigade balances mobility, protection and firepower. Capable of transport via C-130 Hercules aircraft within 96 hours, the Stryker excels in operations requiring swift response.
