"In this operation, there are very many things to be thankful for. However, one of the greatest items of thanks is the support that everyone that logs onto the ANYSOLDIER.com site, displays.... It is a site that families, friends, loved ones and supporters can log onto and find themselves lost in the many stories of hope and motivation that is delivered on a daily basis.... There are stories of despair that has turned into relief.... Loss turns into gains.... Grief turns into memories of loved ones past and present.... A site that we ALL can breath a sigh of relief and take a moment to wipe our worries away for just a second as we log on to check of each other.... From the click of a button, we can rest assured a certain special someone is safe and sound... For that we are all thankful... A special thanks goes out from all the soldiers here with me and is directed to the staff that run the ANY SOLIDER.com site... You all make us proud to wake each day and fight the ever changing enemy..."
CW3 Charles R. Burkett, Army, Afghanistan
