Dear Friends,
I am sending an update from Kuwait to ask for more support and to Thank You for the support that has already begun flowing to the Troops in Kuwait via the Red Cross and my office (the ASG –Kuwait Director of Installation Support). We truly appreciate all that you are doing with the packages and Phone Cards. A Special Thanks to Alexandra, Samantha and Katie Fitzgerald (ages 6 & 8) who sold $50 worth of lemonade to send Phone Cards to the Troops. Also, Robbie & Brittany Bergquist, two teenagers who founded “Cell Phone for Soldiers” who sent us 100 Phone Cards. Thanks to Elyse at Eagles Up and Mark at Operation Troop Aid and all the other individuals who have taken time to send their show of support. You are all incredible.
We are getting ready for Christmas over here. We have to start early when we have over 10,000 young men and women who will spend Christmas with us here, away from their families.
As many of you have heard me say many times, the thing that is most important to our Troops is that they know you “Remember Them”. Your cards, packages, letters and notes from school children make a profound positive impact on Troop Morale.
Although I am over here, the Resolve To Win Team back home has developed a great idea to connect supporters to the Troops deployed in the Middle East. They have about 800 “Resolve To Win” T-shirts and hats, which were designed to celebrate our 400 mile March to Washington and rally our Nation to develop the Resolve to Win. Well the march is over, but the Global War on Terror is NOT, and the Troops are still deployed fighting for our Nation’s interests.
The Resolve To Win Team will donate the T-shirts and hats and anyone back home can send a “Resolve to Win” T-shirt or hat to one of the Troops in the Middle East.
HOW COOL WOULD THIS BE to send a Troop a t-shirt or hat with the message that America supports them and has Resolve To Win. We will distribute the shirts and hats in the Christmas packages handed out to the Troops at Christmas time through the Red Cross and USO in Kuwait and Iraq.
Profits generated by your contributions, after shipping and expenses, will be divided between the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars Foundation (which supports active duty military families back home) and the American Legacy Scholarship Fund (the American Legion Scholarship program for children of our military members).
The RTW Team back home will be adding a link to the www.resolvetowin.us website page to enable you to send a T-shirt or hat to one of our deployed Troops. Send your name and add your personal message. We will be taking lots of photographs to post on the website at Christmas time, so you can see your contribution in action.
The t-shirts are available for $10 and hats for $5. Any contribution will be accepted, in $5 increments and your name will be added to the donor list. Let it all hang out and sent 5 or 10 shirts.
I think this is a GREAT IDEA. It is also a GREAT MESSAGE TO SEND TO THE TROOPS and a great way to send them that message.
Thank you for your continued support.
Dennis

We are supporting America's Finest. They deserve our very best effort and continual improvement of the level of support we provide. Anything less is unacceptable.
Our ability to support our Troops is only limited by our creativity and our willingness to work.
