Hello from Brookfield, IL!...I want you to know my family is 100% behind what you and your buddies are doing for our country. I have the highest respect for each of you and honor you for what you are doing for us. My husband, Ted, served in Viet Nam. Thank You seems like such a small thing, but know it comes from the bottom of my heart. If you have a minute, I would really appreciate hearing from you and how you are doing. Please know you and your buddies are always in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and most important, STAY SAFE..
Soldiers Angel, Diane Sepelis

To all the GREAT men and women of our Armed Forces,

THANK YOU for our FREEDOM and for your wonderful example of fidelity. We say so many words and words are so easy to say. You may not realize it or feel it or think about it much, but you put into action the words, "There is NO GREATER LOVE than this, (to be willing) to lay down one's life for a friend". Please don't give up or lose heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if it may be so frustrating, please BELIEVE and even KNOW that it is worth it and you are doing something very good and so WORTHWHILE!
You are always in my prayers!

Dear Soldiers,
Because of you, I was able to celebrate the Fourth of July safe in the heart of the US with my family, eating, laughing, shooting off pretty fireworks. We pray for you and yours, and we thank you for letting us enjoy our freedom, all because of you!
May God Bless and Keep you every minute of every day.
Much love and caring from Nebraska!
