| First we want to thank the Lord for answering prayer and bringing our troops home safely from Iraq. Veterans Helping Veterans & Others salute our troops for serving to keep America safe and free. It takes a special kind of person to set their lives aside, leave their family, friends and country behind to put their lives on the line for us. It is one thing to send care packages, notes, cards, letters, pictures and keep in contact on face book, and it is quite another to finally get to see our troops in person. It sends chills up and down your back bone and brings tears to your eyes. |

About US
We are a Unit from all over South Carolina we are providing security for a Navy Provincial Reconstruction
Team our Job is to provide security why they help rebuild this country. No they do not go out and build
anything they supervise local contractors to do the work to help the economy over here. They also provide
clinics and medical support.
Our job is to make sure they can do this by providing security which Ghazni is getting very very hot and it
aint got nothing to do with temperature. We are on a polish base and do not have a PX but do have some
access to things. Our mission is shifting more to security this summer we will be worse case out for a few
days and sleeping at other bases when we can. When we do return to our base our chow hall may not be
open pending on the time that’s why some of the food items look like snacks to carry with you others are
to cook in youre B Hut ie Ramen noodles. Also we will be running all sorts of hours so its looking like alt
of MREs. Hopefully our mail will be straight soon we did have private security companies escorting the
mail trucks but there to scared to come here now.
Thank you
