From Move America Forward....
We are now 4 days into Move America Forward’s 12 Days of Christmas where we honor our heroes who have committed themselves to America all the way up to Christmas day. Our troops have given America so many gifts and MAF is highlighting some in our 12 Days of Christmas. Each day we will tell the story of that gift.
During this Holiday season, our troops are still thousands of miles from home, some fighting for us in the freezing mountains of Afghanistan or the unforgiving Iraqi desert. While we are at the mall buying last minute gifts, our troops are fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban, and Americans all over are joining MAF in thanking our troops for defending our freedoms. We have created special care packages for the holidays to show our thanks and give Americans the chance to sponsor the care packages with a personal message to our troops.
Today, on MAF’s Fourth Day of Christmas, we are thanking our troops for, and recognizing their Commitment to America.
World War I began before our wounds from the Civil War had healed. Once again, our troops stood up for America. They fought in trenches, on land and by sea. More than 4.6 million Americans served in the war that was to end all wars.
World War I is also recognized as the first “modern war”. With the first appearance of nerve gas, machine guns and tanks on the battlefields, our troops suffered terrible losses the likes of which had never seen before.
Despite this, they fought on to victory. They never quit or gave up on their duty to their country, they fought even in the worst conditions, despite any odds, and in the end they came out victorious. Today, we thank them for their dedication, their fearlessness, their Commitment to America.
As we know, WWI was not the last war for America. Our troops have remained committed to America since the birth of this great country.
Today, American troops serve around the world to keep peace and protect the United States from enemies. Our troops in Afghanistan are now fighting the longest war America has ever fought, and they're making progress, but it's a tough road to travel and they need our support!
Please sponsor a care package with a personal note. Our troops can get lonely during the holidays. They are thousands of miles away from their families and their homes in America. Our troops volunteer to protect everything that is good about America. Let’s put a smile on their faces for Christmas.
We have set a goal to raise $60,000 to put a smile on our troops faces for the holidays. We must reach our goal by Christmas!
