Thank you for your courage, your strength, your compassion, your honor and most of all your sacrifices. Never will any of these be forgotten and always will they be appreciated!! You are all in our thoughts and hearts everyday. I know why I am able to send my children to school without worry that a terrorist will harm them. I know why I can go about my day without the fear of a bomb exploding around me. I know why I can speak my mind without retribution and why I can sleep so soundly at night. These are the gifts you have given to me and my family. Above all, I know these freedoms have a tremendous cost and that you guys are paying it everyday. The words 'thank you' seem trite in comparison to what you are owed and perhaps only begin to express the profound gratitude my soul wishes to communicate to you. Though we may never meet, you have become special to me simply because of who you are. Know that you will forever have a unique place in my heart!

Thank you for all you do! I'm sure it's difficult to be so far away from home and at times I'm sure you question who cares about what you do. Well there are plenty of people that do care and are thankful for your service. I am one of those people. As a mom of two young boys, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do. You all are America's role models - strong, proud, and selfless. Please come home safe. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and God bless America.

My husband and I are so grateful and awed at your service, it is difficult to find words to express our thoughts. We have two sons-in-law, nephews, and others currently in Iraq, Kuwait, Sicily, and who knows where else, as well as a son and daughters who did serve, in nearly every branch of the military all over the world. No matter the frustrations, negative press, incredible challenges to your well-being and sanity, you stand on the front lines with honor and courage, for the most part, and we never forget that nor take it for granted. The world would be in much worse shape were it not for each of your decisions to go and serve. Thank you, from the deepest chambers of all that is in us.

Carol Y.
Loveland, CO

Thank you so much for all you do. It takes real courage and strength to stand up and volunteer for something that could take you away from your children. A lot of people are strong but it takes real strength to stand up for what you believe in. God Bless You.

I know what it was like to have a mother in the military and how hard it was for her to pull 'double duty', being a single mom, raising three kids, and being in the service. You are an insperation to me. I got out before becoming a mother, but if I get my way I will be rejoing soon. God bless and you are all in my prayers!

Words can not express our family's deepest gratitude for all that you in the military are doing for us back home. No greater love is it than a person that would lay down their life for their friends; that is what you do everyday as you put your life on hold to protect our freedoms, our country, and our people. We are behind you and we support you in all that you do. May you be richly blessed! With a deep and heartfelt - THANK YOU.

Thank you for doing what many of us don't have the courage or guts to do: volunteer to serve your country! You are putting your future on the line, putting your life on hold, all so that we here at home can continue to live in peace and in freedom. There is no higher calling than what you are doing for us, and we are forever grateful. Nothing can repay our debt to you, our finest and bravest souls!! We never forget that you are out there, doing it all for us. We love you... please come home safe when your tour is finished.

Laura M.

You are our defenders of freedom, America finest. While we at home walk safely along our streets and sleep quietly in our beds at night - you protect us from the unknown. It is so easy to ignore the unknown and forget your self-sacrificing service when we are safe. I thank God you give us that luxury of ignorance everyday. God bless you, your families and especially today your mothers as they wait for your safe return.
