The country test-fires another short-range missile, warning it will act in "self-defense" if provoked by the U.N. This was taken from Fox News HERE. This picture of the recent activity should encourage us all the more to remember our troops.. Please take some time to thank the people that give you freedom. Defiance
MARINES ARE RETURNING TO THE STATES
Recently, as you may know, over 10,000 marines were deployed to Afghanistan. Many as young as 18. My brother in law was one of them. I have
always "appreciated" our troops for their
sacrifice. Don't we all? Well, at least we all utter those words. But I think perhaps we neglect to really think about what they are risking.. what they are saving. My brother in law's name is Charlie and he is 24. He married my sister a little over 2 years ago. Charlie recently told my sister on the phone, that he waited in line for over 2 hours for, what will help get him through this tour of duty would be
letters, packages, any kind of contact. So it started me to thinking... What can I do to help? So here I am...asking.. for anyone who wants to help get our Marines through the next year.. help me encourage them.. help me make the desolate, barren, dust filled desert a more bearable place for them to live. Would you be willing to donate
toiletries? Books? Phone cards? Even just write a letter. Charlie gave me a list of some Marines in his company that would also really benefit from your
encouragement. Think of them as a shield.. They stand between me...you...our country, and
danger.. And yet they do it proudly, and
honorably. Perhaps we can show them some respect, a little kindness, and
remind them where they come from. America is still a great nation..and we do not forget! Please accept the challenge, and help me get our Marines through the next year by encouraging them with packages and letters!
You are welcome to send the package directly to the Marines we have listed, or you can send them to me and I will pass them along. It's up to you. :) Currently I have names of 6 Marines that would benefit greatly from your encouragement. I am sure the list of Marines will grow. If you are interested in being a part of supporting our troops then please fill out the contact form below or email me directly at charlieinafghanistan@gmail, and I will get back with you a soon as possible! Thank you in advance!
