We have adopted a soldier thru Adopt A Platoon.com - these announcements take on a whole new meaning now.
Thanks for adopting a soldier. It does make it more personal this way if you have no relatives in Iraq, which I think is a good thing for all of us.
I wrote my company asking if they planned to send packages to our troops in harms way. Still waiting....
Thank you on behalf of my son. The troops enjoy these gifts.
BTW the press reports on the action tend to be very spotty. During the fighting down near the "Holy Cities" the uS bases took something like 600 motoar rounds. The press reports gave only a hint of this.
God bless you C A W T.
After some of us, freepers adopted Ceegar-man US Marine, I received the following e-mail from someone that was surfing on the net.
I stumbled across the free republic web site and saw the name of a friend of mine. I want to thank you for every wonderful word of support posted and for the admiration you appear to give our men and women. I forwarded the link to April and Nick, I hope you don't mind.
My husband was with Nick and the rest of Bravo tanks and 3/4 in Iraq last year. Although he has been transferred to another section in the military we have a lot of friends still over there today. He has a lot of friends and a lot of young men and women he helped train in harm's way and I know he believes he should be there at their side.
Many of the military don't realise the support they do have back here and I think it is important to them and their families when it is displayed to them. This is a wonderful tribute to them. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
There is another way to touch the lives of the troops and that is to go to www.amillionthanks.org ... a young girl has inspired her school to support her efforts in forwarding a million thank you letters to the troops. I know Nick touched your lives and he is an important friend to my family but this will allow you to touch the lives of men and women who are daily putting their lives on the line.
As a spouse I want to thank you all!!!!

That website doesn't exist. Is it called something else? Do you have a link?
