You probably don't know me, and I don't know you, but I would like to get to.... Please let me tell you why... In my younger days, I spent time in law enforcement instead of the military... which I now regret. As many of my friends know, I am totally and completely in support of you, and the men and women who serve with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had my own website for a number of years and it has not been anything spectacular. I have wondered how to change it...until last night... I met some young men, young enough to be MY SONS...who are shipping out soon for the middle east. I know what it's like to be far away from those you love and think they have forgotten you... HERE's WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO........ I want to redesign my site and make it a tribute and salute to YOU...the American Soldier!!! I would love to make it FOR and BY the soldiers, marines, airmen and seamen who are currently serving to protect MY freedom!!! I just need your permission, and I will make these changes tomorrow!! I would love to post your photos, and stories by you, or others with whom you serve....... I will be posting stories, photos, videos, news articles...ANYTHING I can find in SUPPORT of our troops. I also would like to get your addresses so I can spearhead the sending of CARE PACKAGES! I've been away from home before and looked forward to getting mail...especially when it was a package with something small that I need!! I may not agree with the REASONS for your deployment, and the commander in chief (whoever it is at the time) my not have gotten my vote...but YOU are why I have the freedom to sit here in my home and type this to you, a soldier I have never met. I support you and wish you safety!!! Please consider writing short articles and sending photos/videos for me to post. Also, please resend this to any other military personnel you think may like to participate in the bradstansell.com project. Thank you, and God Bless YOU!!! Humbly, Gratefully, ~Brad~ |
