WHERE IS THE MONEY WE ARE SPENDING ON OUR MILITARY IN AFGHANISTAN? IN OBAMA BANK ACCOUNT?


TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN STRUGGLE FOR ELECTRICITY & SUPPLIES"THE SHELVES STAY PRETTY EMPTY"

This is an emergency response to an extremely urgent problem developing for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan right now...

This week we received another letter that mentioned the scarcity of supplies for our troops serving in Afghanistan. This time the message comes from an actual soldier in Afghanistan who mentioned how tough it is for our troops to get electrical power and even the most basic necessities.

It seems like our current Commander-in-Chief has forgotten the 120,000 soldiers abroad that are serving their country by fighting a deadly war against terrorism. Help us show the troops that Americans have not forgotten about the sacrifices they are constantly making and thank them for their courageous patriotism by sending a much needed care package!




Here is the letter we received from a grateful soldier thanking us for the care package, but the letter reveals the problem our troops face:


Dear MAF,

Greetings from Afghanistan! I would like to thank you for your support of our unit. We really appreciate the tremendous support you have given us. We are really grateful. Being away from our families...is hard, but we have a mission. We are a unity, dedicated to keep this installation safe, 24 hours a day...

I am the administrative person for our unit so I do all of the paperwork.

It gets stressful sometimes and there is not much to do here...the electricity here is 220V so we have to use transformers and converters for 110 V use. The PX has the basic necessities with just a few extras, not much. The shelves pretty much stay empty.


We are in the city of [redacted] so if you see or hear something that happens here, we hear and feel the blast, sometimes we have to run from the shrapnel we are so close.

Thank you very much.

This is just unacceptable, but our efforts at Move America Forward have provided support to fill this void created by Washington, with care packages from our warehouse.

However, we cannot stop there! With over 100,000 troops still fighting anti-American insurgents, help us continue sending MORE of these wonderful gifts to our warriors abroad. 

Boxes that include deodorant, Gatorade, chapstick, and now, GUM
, are just what the troops need while facing decreased funding and unbearable temperatures. Help now by sponsoring a care package!

At Move America Forward we are 100% dedicated to helping our troops and making sure their sacrifices and commitment to our nation do not go unnoticed. Right now, our troops are not being treated well enough. Letters like the one above should not need to be written. It is hard enough for family members to wait at home and pray their loved one returns safely. They should not also have to worry if essentials are being provided to the troops.

Our country is at war and our troops are winning. They are winning not because of technology or money, but because of their heart and drive to do what is right in order to protect our great nation. They define patriotism on a daily basis. Let’s come together and thank them by sending a care package to every single soldier deployed. We cannot leave it up to Washington and the politicians to treat our troops properly. It is the least we can do to thank each and every one of them personally. By sponsoring a care package, you have the opportunity to share your appreciation, through a note and goodies and touch the life of a real American hero.
