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 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.
I would like to thank you all for everything you do for us. The support that we get from home is truly wonderful. I never knew there could be such caring people in this world. Thanks for all that everyone does for us~~ SGT(P) SCOTT ------ACTIVE ARMY, Killeen TX, Kingston, NY
I'm Brian and I wanted to thank everyone who was such a great help last deployment with everything from clothes to goodies. During the last deployment we lost our laundry to a fire and had to get things from others to make sure the guys that lost everything to the fire had uniform items. We did laundry by washing them in sinks and drying them in any space possible. I am currently on another deployment and I would love to hear from people via email. marcusb at lpd13 dot navy dot mil is my address for anyone wanting to write to me or others on the ship. Thank again for everything, ~~Brian, E-6/Navy, Greybull, Wyo.
Just want to say I hear a lot about services. I've been here in Okinawa, Japan for 3 years. Glad to know that some people care so much about the armed forces protecting them. Thanks ~~Cpl ------,USMC. Okinawa Japan Marines, Avoca, NY
