            ...Our adopted unit is headed back....

                 Comrades...they are motivated, they are proud...and they will be ready...

    Their training is just beginning...four months...three bases...then Iraq.  We need to step up here.

  This is what we do....from "fun" care packages to ensuring their families are taken care of.   We've all

been there and some of us know, all too well, what it is like not to have the support of our fellow Americans. 

We, you and me, can not allow these comrades in American's fight to ensure all men have freedom to chose.

 Do you have some time?  A Skill? An idea on how to help them and their dependants?  vfwpost9408@gmail.com
