"I am a member of the United States Army.
It has been my privilege to share service with your

You can be very proud of these men.
Men from every walk of life and from every corner j
of America.
I have seen them fight with indomitable courage.
I have known their strength of soul and spirit.
They deserve the best. \
If you support and serve them as they, in battle,
protect, preserve and defend you, they will have
the best.

The best in arms, in clothing, in food, in equipment,
the best of everything that will make their task easier
by a little, for no one can make it easy in truth. I
You can make your support count by purchase of
