Military Personnel

Reply from AFGHANISTAN

Thank you for your email. The prayers and thoughts
of the folks back home really mean a lot to the soldiers here in Afghanistan.

The Soldiers here are doing a great job. Afghanistan is a very complicated country; and I'm proud everyday when I see young officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers striving to make this a better country for the Afghan people while at the same time remaining vigilant against the Taliban and Al'Qaida. Thanks again for your support.

MAJ Sam Whitehurst

WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
God is my shield; he will defend me. – Psalm 7:10

We always owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who serve in our military, for it is they who sacrifice to defend our freedom and ensure our right to worship as we please. Regardless of how you feel about the current military conflicts that we find ourselves in around the world, these patriots deserve our respect and our support.
