Letters from Your Soldiers
Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

North Pacific Ocean. (May 7, 2025): When U.S. Sailors are looking for something to shoot at, they choose the “Killer Tomato”. In this photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Jamaal Liddell, Sailors aboard the guided missile destroyer USS Preble deploy a floating target used for live fire exercises. The Killer Tomato provides a flexible, realistic target to simulate small crafts and their electronic systems. The target allows Sailors to ascertain range and distance measurements to simulate realistic combat situations including interdiction and rescue missions.
Manufactured by American Pacific Plastic Fabricators, Inc., the Killer Tomato is easy to unpack, set up, inflate, launch, and recover. These surface targets are made from vinyl fabric, are relatively light weight, and can be inflated using a power air blower. Weighing just forty-eight pounds deflated, it can be manhandled overboard by a handful of Sailors and is likewise easily retrieved.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
