Support Your Soldiers

I'm not sure how to respond to sending a message to the U.S. Military Soliders. I want to say thank you for all of those who decided to join the military. I hope that most of the things in life are helping you to make it through your difficult times and challenges. I'm not really good at posting messages for soliders and I can't imagine what it must be like to be a solider or a family with a solider. Again, I want to say thank you for everything that you are doing.

to all the 10th mtn soldiers and families: I wanted to take a minute on this day, July 4th 2009, to remember each of the troops and the families of the all our military and specifically the 10th Mountain Division including you and your family. I have been following the 10TH MTN for three years and each Brigade should be proud of the accomplishments in support of the USA, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and the continuing readiness to serve our nation in future deployments.
