Thank you so much for the reminder. It’s so easy to forget as we sit here comfortably at home. Keep up the good work.
Anyone know what kind of rifle he’s using on the bottom pic?
My guess is a m14 tactical
Correction: M14 with EBR stock
Come home safe…endless gratitude to all.
God bless them and their families.
Ditto what everyone said…and if any one feels so moved… http://www.soldiersangels.org/
A care package, a letter…makes a difference.
All I have to say is that these men and women deserve all the support and respect we can give them. They are the best of the best and totally Bad Ass in every way!
J in MS – good eyes.
GOD bless our troops. I know a few folks over there but pray for all of them.
God bless our troops as they keep us safe from those that wish to kill us simply because we are free.
My son is with the 2nd Brigade of the 101st with the 1-320th@ Nolen. Your support and prayers are appreciated.
