mojo4trav Posted April 29, 2005 #61 Share Posted April 29, 2005 First of all, Reltco, thank you. Please tell your fellow shipmates the same. My brother is in the Air Force and we expect him to be deployed to the region once he finishes his flight training. Serving our country in any of the armed forces is an honorable profession and you should be proud of how your duties maintain freedom not just here, but around the world. I find it sad to hear that some soldiers stand around at mail calls only to not have a letter, week after week...there are some great sites below that help find those troops and see that your letters of thanks get to them. If you're interested, here are a few places to start: CARE PACKAGE Sites: *[url="http://www.operationmilitarypride.org/index.html"]Operation Military Pride[/url] *[url="http://www.treatsfortroops.com/"]Treats for Troops[/url] *[url="http://www.usocares.org/"]USO Cares[/url] Letter/Mail Sites: *[url="http://www.adoptaplatoon.org/"]Adopt-A-Platoon[/url] *[url="http://www.anysoldier.com/index.cfm"]Any Soldier[/url] *[url="http://www.amillionthanks.org/"]A Million Thanks[/url] Donate your airline miles: *[url="http://www.heromiles.org/"]Operation HERO Miles[/url] I feel it is important, no matter how we feel about the war in Iraq, that we support our troops while they are deployed. My father was in Vietnam and was spit on and humiliated upon returning home, no soldier should feel they fight for an ungrateful country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reltco Posted April 29, 2005 Author #74 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I am overwhelmed by the number of responses to this post in a short amount of time. Call it a tribute to your patriotism! And there seems to be a lot of American Flag wavers out there cruising the high seas! These posts certainly make the separation from my family a bit easier to swallow. Also, to all who offered, there are many lonely sailors here and I may pass off a few to be your e-pen pals. I know they appreciate anything sent from the states. God bless you all and thank you again! Reltco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forchunut1 Posted April 29, 2005 #75 Share Posted April 29, 2005 A BIG thank you comes to you from Iowa, the heart of this wonderful country. Please stay safe and know that you and all your shipmates will be in our thoughts and prayers while you are gone. In those silent, dark, moments in the still of night, remember that we are all here waiting for you and your shipmates to come home safely. You are performing an admirable service for those of us who remain here, and we are grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
