“Our branch of service does not provide us with adequate equipment for our mission set and most of what we get is worn down already when it’s issued, specifically helmets.”
Season Greetings,
With 2 millions Americans serving, we have a lot of heroes who will not be home this December…empty chairs at the holiday dinner tables nationwide.
We know the ‘why’ but the unpublicized ‘wheres’ are what keep me up at night:
- Central America to counter China, Russia and terrorist factions
- Africa which serves as the incubator for terrorism
- Our Southern Border where Terror Watchlist individuals are caught
- The South China Seas where China is setting the stage for 2025
- Iraq & Syria where we have been attacked 90 times by Iranian factions since October.
- The other locations that I cannot speak about…
As you know, they are not reaching out to Troops Direct for candy canes and miniature stockings. Their wish list items?
- Helmets
- Field blood transfusion equipment
- IED diffusal gear
- Uniforms to replace their battle torn sets
- Cold weather sleep and shelter systems
- I could go on and on…
We owe it to them to make sure their tree is full.
