THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - Posted by: MAJ Sean Gustafson on June 18, 2009
Just a quick note from Iraq to say thank you all so much for all the wonderful stuff you've been sending here (and to Afghanistan). The notes you've enclosed have been really inspirational for us (soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines) too.
You obviously understand that this is a way we can show these folks that we don't hate them, that we recognize we are all in this together, and that educated children are our only true hope for the future.
School is out here till the end of August, but we're stockpiling all the school supplies till then, and we're gonna make a lot of Iraqi school kids very happy.
Thank you again for all the support, you are making a difference. God bless you, and God bless America. - Sean
Want to help? It's easy. Here's how to send school supplies to US soldiers.

What more can I say to you - Posted by: Alisia Medrano on June 30, 2009
Thank You so much for all that you have done for us all. Not a lot of us say that we have done what you are doing. To put yourself into danger everyday is brave. And I bow down to you all soldiers, Airman, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard. You are my true heroes and I'm saying Thank You again. Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again BE SAFE! Good Luck! God Bless You!
Thanks, Troops - Posted by: Emory T. (Retired Marine) on June 26, 2009
Been there, done that, have the T-shirts (Korea and "Desert Storm"). God has you right where He wants (needs) you to be. He's watching over you. You're part of His bigger picture. Spread His word. Thanks for your service.
thank you! - Posted by: Amy Redd on June 25, 2009
My husband was deployed 2006-2007 with the 82nd airborne. We were blessed enough to have him come home safely. I think about our soldiers everyday and thank God for all that you do as well as the families at home supporting their loved ones. You all are in my prayers everyday and you are so strong. Thank you so much for getting up everyday and doing what you do. I really appreciate your service and honor to this country! God Bless you!
Heat - Posted by: Katherine on June 24, 2009
We have had no rain here for over two weeks. When I start feeling sorry for myself because all my plants and trees are drying up, I think about all of the soldiers in the middle east who serve in 100+ degree heat sometimes in full battle gear. Thank you for all you do. Americans are the luckiest people in the world because of the freedom we have to complain! I pray that we don't use that freedom for things that don't truly matter.
We are the land of the free because of the brave......... - Posted by: Jessica on June 23, 2009
From Thomas Paine: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman".
There are no words.. - Posted by: Pam on June 22, 2009
Truly there are no words to thank everyone for the gift of freedom that you all work for on our behalf. I only hope you know that there are more people than you could ever count who think of you and pray for you with gratitude every single day. God bless and thank each one of you.

So Very Grateful - Posted by: Marci on June 6, 2009
On this anniversary of D-Day, I want to remind everyone that if all those heroes (and everyone was a hero) had not courageously and unselflessly given their all the world would be a much different place today and we would definitely not have the freedoms we enjoy today.. To our repected and much loved service men and women (past and present) THANK YOU!!
Thank you for your sacrifices, and for the terrific image of Americans you give to the people in the foreign lands where you serve. As things change in the world, every day I appreciate the freedoms I have now and recognize it is by your service that I enjoy them. May God Bless You and Keep You Safe. May God give the families and friends that support you the strength and patience to get through this prolonged seperation. I pray everyday that you know how many Americans love & respect you and that you will all come home safe, very soon.
Thank You - Posted by: Cammie Melancon on June 6, 2009
A mere thank you certainly isn't enough for all that you sacrifice on a daily basis so that the rest of us are free and can go about our daily lives. Thank You-you are deeply appreciated! God Bless All of Our Military!!
God Bless - Posted by: karen lott on June 6, 2009
Thank you so much for your sacrific to keep us safe,keep our religious freedom even though we have idiotic congressmen that let leftist rule instead of majority vote/feelings. May God keep you safe and bring you home to your families. My son is in Ghazni 2-1-203rd. say hey if you see Daniel Webb.
I can't imagine, but appreciate it. - Posted by: Bernadette Stoll on June 6, 2009
I don't pray for you enough, don't think about what you are going through enough, but I do care about you as I did the soldiers all the way back to Vietnam. I pray that one day war will end, until we need a way to protect and defend, but to teach the countries how to defend themselves, enough injury and death, I hope you understand where I'm coming from. God bless you. If you want to, you can join me www.twitter.com/Bernastar, or email me. God bless you!
The Bravest of All - Posted by: Linda Sheets on June 6, 2009
What you and all branches of the military are doing can never be repaid by Americans or others. We can only pray for your safe return and for your families while you are serving your country. May God keep all of you safe and well.
Thank You - Posted by: Judy Glick on June 5, 2009
thank you for all you do to keep our country safe. Am making up packets of school supplies to send to you for the children in Iraq and Afghanistan. Keep safe and come home soon.
Freedom isn't free. - Posted by: Bob and Char Campain on June 5, 2009
It requires great sacrifice. A sincere thank you to all of you men and women who have made a choice to serve our nation and the world in the name of this freedom we cherish, and also to your families who wait for you. You are all heroes. May God shelter and reward you.
Thanks - Posted by: Gaylen Kuehl on June 5, 2009
Thanks to all the soldiers for their sacrifice. Hope you can all come home soon. Also; if any of you know Morton Kuehl, Matthew Kuehl, or Nick Gendeman; they are all my nephews and I would love to hear from them. thank you much, Gaylen Kuehl
All of the Military Soldiers - Posted by: Cynthia J. Redmond on June 5, 2009
To each and every one of our soldiers, both male and female. God bless each and everyone. You are each and everyone very special and honor your country and its people by serving. Bless your famiulies and know that we all support each and everyone of you. Be safe, remember god loves each and everyone of you. Thank you for your support.
God bless you for your service - Posted by: Jeannine on June 5, 2009
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for your selfless service and loyalty to the freedoms America stands for. There is no way America would be the great country it is today without great, giving soldiers like you. We in America can never fully know the horrors you face and the sacrifices you give to protect us. Just know we are praying for you for protection, grace, strength and wisdom. God bless you all! Jeannine
Thank you - Posted by: Bunny Hatch on June 5, 2009
Thank you for your courage. Sometimes that gets overlooked. Courage is a character trait that is missing a lot in our society, and the men and women of the military have that. I have the upmost respect for you and am so honored to know that you are working to save the wonderful freedoms we all have. Thanks just isn't enough.
Thank you. - Posted by: Cynthia Cito on June 5, 2009
Thank you all for your service to our country. We all support your efforts and sacrifices to keep us safe. You men and women are true heroes. God bless you and bring you all home soon.
So Proud of You! - Posted by: Nancy Gardner on June 5, 2009
You make me so proud to be an American. Not only are you protecting our country, but you stand as a hero to us at home and to those in the country where you are fighting. My prayer is that God keep you in the palm of His hand and bring you home safely. Thank you for all you do.
for our grandchildren - Posted by: Chuck & Chris Rognsvoog on June 5, 2009
We want to thank you for fighting for our country and for our children and grandchildren, that they might enjoy a safer and more peaceful world. Your sacrifices are greatly appreciated. Chuck fought in Vietnam and was wounded there so we are ever mindful of the peril you are in. May God bless you and your families and keep you safe!!
To our brave Soldiers - Posted by: Blanca S. Karpati on June 5, 2009
You could be home enjoying your families and friends and all the good things but insted you chose to be in Iraq or Afghanistan serving our Country and defending our freedom. It is a blessing that there are still many honorable men and women that love this country as much as I do. God Bless you all and God Bless America!
We Know it's Tough - Posted by: Bud Totten on June 5, 2009
From one Vet to you all who will soon be Vets, words can't express the feelings of thanks and respect we have for all of you over in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all the other places away from home we don't hear of as much. We know it is not easy for you, or for your families back home, and we think of you all the time. Our VietNam Vets group meets every two weeks, and we always have a moment of silence to remember all of you in harm's way for our country and its people. God Bless you all and keep you safe, and give your families the gifts of strength and endurance, Retired USAF pilot
Huge Nice... - Posted by: Jennifer Gailey on June 5, 2009
The minute a person volunteers for military service, he or she has done a huge nice thing, big enough to last a lifetime. Then off they go to serve, day after day, sometimes year after year, very huge. I think a great way to show appreciation is for each one of us not serving to do our very best to serve our community, or school, or church. In that way we show all of them that we are helping to preserve the ideals over here, that they fight so hard to preserve wherever they are. Each one of us being the best we can be each day goes way farther than picking one day to do one nice thing.
We Appreciate You! - Posted by: Larry & Cheryl on June 5, 2009
We appreciate all that you do!! Thank You, Always. And, God Bless!
Thank you - Posted by: Gayle on June 5, 2009
Because of your bravery I can sleep better at night and I know my grandchildren are being protected. There aren't enough words to say thank you. Your all in my prayers every day. Please stay safe. Gayle
For the Heroes, past and present - Posted by: Jim on June 5, 2009
Thank you for serving our nation! The service personnel of the USA military both past and present are the true hero's of our country. The words "thank you" seem so small compared to the huge sacrifice our military members endure for those in the states. May God bless you, those who already served, and those who continue to serve. Be safe!!
YOU ROCK - Posted by: Lyn Pettengill on June 5, 2009
Thank you for all you are doing to preserve our freedom. You guys are the best our country has to offer. I wish all our young people would be as wonderful and as brave as all of you.
Thank You - Posted by: Ethel Brinkmans on June 5, 2009
I have a son serving in the military and I thank him and I thank you for my freedom.
There are no words - Posted by: Carla Tino on June 5, 2009
There are no words to express the gratitude and respect I have for you all. When I see service members here at home, I want to say something. My husband says, "Just say thank you." Is that enough? Thank you.
From a Vet to a Vet! - Posted by: Will Eisner on June 5, 2009

Hi everyone. I wanted to tell you all Thank You. We, back home, have not forgotten you. I know you all are the true heroes in this generation. As our country goes through this really tough time, I am so thankful when I think of you all. It grounds me to know there are men and women putting it all on the line for us. Love, Rose Smith
You are always on my mind - Posted by: Suzy on June 5, 2009
When things start going wrong with the ac, lawnmower and stove, I stop and think how little this all really matters with all that is going on in the world today. Thank you very much for all you are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. May you all keep safe and come home to us to celebrate the FREEDOM you are fighting for. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Suzy
Thanks - Posted by: Bea on June 5, 2009
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all that you are doing for our freedom as well as for the freedom of people around the world. Y'all are true heros.
You are the heroes - Posted by: Joanne Petrella on June 5, 2009
My Dad was in the Marines in WW2 and fought in Okinawa. When he developed Alzheimer's late in his life, he could still remember all of his fellow Marines from when he was young. It taught me about the bond between our brave soldiers who keep us safe and watch out for each other. You are so courageous and we can never fully show you our gratitude. May God bless you and keep you and show you His great love for you!
YOU ROCK!!! - Posted by: ania on June 5, 2009

Paying The Cost - Posted by: Gloria Crowther on June 4, 2009
To each and every one of you wonderful service men and women who are currently on duty away from your homes. The saying of "Freedom isn't Free" is meant for each of you. You are all paying the cost for each of us sitting in our homes. Please realize and remember every day that you are in our family's thoughts and our prayers for your health and safety while you are in the service of this great country.
We honor one of our own this weekend as he is returned to his hometown for a full service funeral and burial here. The entire community is proud of this young man, the kind person he was to everyone, and the wonderful upright "character" he displayed every day of his service. We love to see photos and videos and slide shows of all the soldiers, flags, vehicles, etc., because it makes our hearts swell with patriotism and the tears of love for each of you willing to do your part. May the Good Lord watch over all of you, and keep you tucked next to his heart. Take care, and Thank You so much Every Day!
Thank You - Posted by: Maria on June 4, 2009
I had found this on a web site and thought it was fitting.....it's because of you the Soldiers we have these. It is the Soldier not the Preacher who gives us Freedom of Religion. It is the Soldier not the Poet who gives us Freedom of Speech. It is the Soldier not the Reporter who gives us Freedom of the Press. It is the Soldier not the Campus Organizer who gives us Freedom of Assembly. It is the Soldier not the Lawyer who gives us the Right to a Fair Trial. It is the Soldier not the Politician who gives us the Right to Vote. It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, It is the Soldier who serves beneath the flag.
May God Hold You In The Palm Of His Hand - Posted by: Brenda on June 3, 2009
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Because of you, we have freedoms and liberties that other countries don't. May the Good Lord bring you home safely to your loved ones!
You are the reason! - Posted by: cindy on June 3, 2009
You are the reason I can sit here in my kitchen after dinner and send this message. You are the reason for so much we take for granted. You are the reason I am SO proud to be an American!!! God bless you all!!!
Thank You Just Isn't Enough - Posted by: Pam on June 3, 2009
As the title states, Thank You Just Isn't Enough. You protect millions of people back home that you'll never know. You are all the very best our country has to offer. May your mission(s) be successful, may you return safely and God bless. Heartfelt thanks to all of you.
Gods Speed - Posted by: Aleta on June 3, 2009

I'm honored - Posted by: Mary Kay on June 3, 2009
On Memorial Day it was my honor and privilege to escort and help seat a very elderly WWII vet at our service. I could still see the warrior in his unsteady gait. I thought of him and all of you as I played my bagpipe that day. It brought tears to my eyes and pride to my heart. Thank you all.
Proud of our country - Posted by: Randall Coffee on June 2, 2009
I am proud of America, not just now, but all my life. I am proud of America's finest, our Soldiers in all branches of the military. If it had not been for the brave sacrifices of the American military forces, most of the world would be living in bondage to crazed dictators. No country has ever given so much life, resources and financial support for the cause of Freedom as America. Our military forces have truly borne the burden for Freedom in most of the Free World and at home.
I SALUTE each of you and THANK YOU for your sacrifice and service to our Nation in defending the cause of Freedom at home and abroad. There is no need to apologize for America's actions in the world for liberating most of the free world and defending Freedom. Hold your head high, be proud, you are highly admired, loved and appreciated. I will never be a part of any Apology to any nation for America's role in helping the world enjoy the blessings of Liberty. GOD bless America and GOD bless our troops.
Thank You - Posted by: Cass on June 2, 2009
I hear jets over head every day...it is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. Thank you, every branch, for everything you do every day.

Your bravery and dedication make it possible for me to live in a free country and I am so very very thankful to you and the service you provide for our Country - I will pray for each and every one of you always and remember - God is always with us, even when it doesn't feel like it - never give up your faith or hope....

My thanks and graditude - Posted by: Mike Ward on June 2, 2009
As a self-employed satellite installer on California's Central Coast, My favorite place to install is the Fort Ord second language institute area because I get the opportunity to personally thank the military personnel for their service and sacrifice. I also get to thank the great people from the nearby Naval Post Graduate School in nearby Monterey. It never ceases to amaze me their stories. I respect and admire each and every one of you for your selflessness and love of country. Thank you so much.

I just wanted to add my comment to tell you how much I appreciate your committment to our country. I am the mother of two Navy veterans and the mother-in-law of another. I think it is a testament to your service that my grandson, and the grandson of a friend of mine, both enrolled in the Navy ROTC program when they entered high school this year. You are making a difference not only in the world but in young men and women's lives as they watch what you do. Thank you again.
Sincere Thanks and Appreciation - Posted by: Peggy on June 2, 2009

The myriad of emotions experienced by soldiers is unimaginable, yet in the midst of combat you find compassion, seeing promise in those children’s eyes you extend a caring hand offering warmth and understanding. My family and I pray for all of you and your loved ones daily. Have to mention the military wives, your constant support through personal sacrifice is priceless, may God bless you! Thanks again ladies and gentlemen of the U.S. Armed Forces – you are the worlds best and it shows. God-speed my friends, you are our rock! Be as safe as possible and remember, we love you and wait with open arms for your return home. Can Do!
Thank you - Posted by: Mark Spicer on June 2, 2009

America - Posted by: Gary L. Bayliss Jr. on June 2, 2009
What you guys have done in Iraq and Afganistan is amazing!We are so proud of you guys.You not only won the war lightening fast,but then just as fast you turn into Angels that are trying to help those people.And even though there are some bad people still around over there, the majority of them know in there hearts and minds that you are good people.You are a first class soldier that can kick ass in battle, but,when the smoke clears, you are an American that cares about the well being of your fellow man.
That's the old America I grew up in.And maybe when you guys get to come home, you can show us how to become The America we should be again.When you care about someone besides yourself, that is America.And you are the greatest example I know of!!I am so proud of all of you, and I pray you come home safe to a great life. We love you all, Gary bayliss@Family

My husband is at Basic right now, and I could not be more proud of his decision to join our nation's military. You make the world a safer place for me and my baby girl. We love and respect you for your daily sacrifice. God bless you and yours!

Just a simple thank you too all of you. You have gone above and beyond....
Many, many thanks! - Posted by: Cheryl Beaty on June 2, 2009
Like so many others have already said, please know that many people back in the USA are grateful for each of you and the sacrifices that you make for us, and others, every single day! What impresses me most is that you are volunteers--no one has "forced" you to serve. That deserves an EXTRA blessing! I have 2 close friends whose sons are serving in the military--Iraq and Afghanistan. Please know that you are in the hearts and thoughts of many. Our prayers are constant. Stay safe. I cherish the freedoms that you are protecting, and I thank you for that. My love and respect to you all. Cheryl B. & family

Many thanks & prayers - Posted by: Teresa on June 2, 2009
Our country isn't perfect but it's as close as it can be. We wouldn't have the life we do, security, safety, freedom that we have without our military force - the men and woment that are our family and friends. There isn't a "thank you" that would be enough for what they do, go through and see on a daily basis - all as volunteers. For that my family sends heart felt thanks and prayers for every single one.
XO/Big Thanks - Posted by: Diane Rosas on June 2, 2009
I am truly at a loss for words to thank each and every member of the armed services and their families. I pray for you every night and hope this small token of thanks brings a smile to your faces and reaffirms the Great Service you are doing for our country.

One of ours is among you - Posted by: Marcie on May 31, 2009
I am grateful to all of you for your love for your country and your vision of liberty and justice for all. Our son joined the military last spring and I know, perhaps only as a mother can know, just what it takes for a man/woman to desire so greatly to serve their country. You are truly special people and God has a special place in His heart for you as well. God bless you as you unselfishly serve.

God Bless those who serve ! - Posted by: Br. Vincentde Paul Bass on May 30, 2009
In the Picture I am the one on the left of the screen,with Fr.Benedict Groeschel,C.F.R Who I was privileged to work with at a Youth 2000, a retreat for young people. He also is very thankful & grateful for our troops who are serving their country.
Personally I am deeply appreciate all of our service men & women that gives the ultimate price to their country. I am a consecrated religious lay brother & pray everyday for the families & the men & women in every part of the Armed Services. There are many many others like myself that are grateful & pray for all of you.
There is a simple way of life I live and it works for me & that is to "Pray, hope & Don't worry." If i practise those three things everyday I can keep peace in mind, body, & soul. All of you maybe be gone for awhile but none of you are forgotten, not one day! You are always being prayed for 24-7, 365 days of the year, in every Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. May our Lord Bless you & keep you & bring you home to your loved ones safe & soon ! Again, Thank you to the bravest Men & Women in this World ! !

I am so proud to have been a member of our armed forces and to have served in Viet Nam. We were not welcomed home and our service was denagrated by a very few but they got all the press and attention. This country is EXTREMELY proud of you all and we want you to know that a very few are making noise about this war not being the right thing....again. Don't believe the crap on CNN or MSNBC.

Greetings from the Wonderful Land of Abraham, Aladdin, Sinbad... - Posted by: MAJ Sean Gustafson on May 29, 2009
Note: MAJ Gustafson served in Afghanistan, 2006-2007. He and his soldiers distributed more than 50 tons of school supplies there, sent from people in the U.S. He is now serving in Iraq.
It is truly a DREAM being here (not saying exactly which kind of dream)!
I work next to and with our Civil Affairs team, and they tell me that anything you all can send here (mostly school supplies) would be a great assistance in giving the locals their last little boost from us before they take over their own country by August 2010. Even with all the resources this country has compared to Afghanistan, things are still horrible compared to most anywhere else.
God bless you all and keep you safe, Sean
Here's how to send school supplies to U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
