Heroes Fight to Protect Us So
We can Enjoy Thanksgiving
Since my son, Marc Alan Lee, gave his life in Iraq, I have adopted scores of daughters and sons who serve our country and literally offer their lives so we may enjoy peace and freedom at home. As Thanksgiving approaches, I constantly think about Marc’s friends and my extended family in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands of miles away from their families and friends.
I went to Iraq during Christmas two years ago and I had the honor of bringing Christmas and Hanukkah cards to our troops. I will never forget their faces and the joy that simple messages from home gave them. And I will always remember the thank yous. Our heroic men and women thanked Americans for remembering them.
Life is especially hard for our troops on the frontlines during the holidays. Some may not be able to hold their newly born children, or even talk to their families. That is why I am asking you to sponsor a care package with a personal message for our troops.
Every day U.S. troops take time out of their days in war zones to send thank you notes back home. Care packages remind them that they are not forgotten as we sit down to Thanksgiving dinners with all of the trimmings.
Read a couple of lines from thankful troops:
“We very much appreciate all of your efforts and are heartened by your continued support of the troops,” wrote Specialist Craig from Tallil, Iraq. “The smallest of kind thoughts are larger than complaints from the naysayers.”
|
And from LCpl. Daniel Grona, a Marine:
| We would like to thank you for the care package,” Daniel wrote. “Thanks for your support and feel free to write back. We would love to hear from as many people as possible. Letters and packages make our day.” |
Our troops are so generous to the American people who get to enjoy Thanksgiving at home with our families and friends. I will always have an empty seat at my Thanksgiving dinner table. But Marc, who was the first Navy SEAL to give his life in Iraq, has given me the voice and strength to stand up for his brothers and sisters in arms.
Please stand with me and give thanks to the men and women who never fail to give of themselves. Please sponsor a Thanksgiving care package now.
Thank you dear friends, and God Bless our Troops
Debbie Lee, Gold Star Mother of Marc Alan Lee
