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.

Okinawa, Japan. (May 26, 2025): A weapon invented to lay siege to castles continues to serve today as a Marine Platoon’s personal artillery piece. In this photo by Lance Corporal Rodney Frye, Corporal Juan Garcia employs an M224 60mm mortar during a field training exercise. Corporal Garcia, a native of the Dominican Republic, is a mortarman with 12th Littoral Combat Team, 12th Marine Littoral Regiment, 3rd Marine Division.
The use of mortars in combat dates to the invention of gunpowder during the 13th century. The Koreans were reportedly the first to use mortars in a naval battle in 1413. These early gunsmiths fashioned a gourd shaped weapon called a wan'gu that quickly became a fortress-defense weapon.

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.
