I really want to thank Michigan Military Moms for always sending me cards during my birthday, Christmas time, and any other time I'm not able to spend with my family. ~~Ralph D. ------ II/USAF, Oak Park, MI, Mich.
I have been reading these messages since I deployed in March and wanted to say thank you to the American people who have been supporting us. This is my 2nd deployment since 2005 and even though I know it's hard on my wonderful and loving wife and my 2 beautiful kids with me being gone, I know it's my duty to support and defend our country. My dad did 2 tours to Thailand during the Vietnam Conflict, and nobody showed any support for our troops. It's amazing to see the out pouring of support that we have. I have been reading the messages and can't believe the support that we have back home that you never hear on the news or read in the papers. Keep doing what you are doing to support all of the troops, but don't forget that we are not alone over here. I see men/women from Poland, Czech Republic, France, Egypt, Italy, Canada, U.K., Germany, Romania, Australia, Spain, South Korea, and New Zealand as well. We can't do it alone. 1st Expeditionary RED HORSE Group Lead, Follow or Get the Hell Outta the Way! ~~Lenny -------, MSgt, USAFR, San Antonio
Hello America, I'm here in Korea. I've been in the Army for 15 years and just re-enlisted to finish out my retirement. Plan on doing 30 years. If anyone would like to write me I'm at 4th Chem Co. unit 15111, APO, AP 96224. Look forward to hearing from you. GOD Bless, ~~SSG Jason B. -------,RALEIGH, Miss.
Thank you for supporting all the troops out there defending us every day. Each day I saw a new Senior Marine, he always talked about all the appreciation he receives every time he walks outside in his uniform. I pray that this appreciation is shown to all the troops across America. GOD BLESS. ~~Michael -------, AA, US Navy, Lafayette, N.Y.
