Letters from Your Soldiers
OCONUS, March 24, 2025 - Hello, I am [ ]. I received your care package today (March 24, 2025) and I am so very thankful. There wasn’t one thing in there that won’t be useful and there is so much that I can share with my fellow coworkers. I’d probably say that my favorite thing on there were the Burt’s Bee chapsticks. That’s all I will use and I literally just finished my last tube yesterday so it was ironic timing that I received this package from y'all with 3 tubes in it. I also really enjoyed reading the handwritten notes, especially one from a high school sophomore.

The Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg, was the largest amphibious invasion in the Pacific Theater that occurred between April 1 and June 22, 1945. America’s goal was to secure the island to serve as a base for a future invasion of Japan. During eighty-two days of brutal fighting, U.S. troops battled Japanese forces who were desperate to defend their homeland. They launched kamikaze attacks and fought to the last man. Japanese losses were twice stunning, over 100,000 killed. The battle also resulted in significant casualties among the civilian population of Okinawa, with estimates ranging from 40,000 to 150,000 civilians killed.

PENTAGON, (March 1, 2025): The Pentagon is deploying a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion to the southwestern border, accelerating efforts to fulfill President Donald J. Trump's directive to bolster military support in securing the U.S. – Mexico border. The units, equipped with wheeled vehicle and air capabilities, are set to reinforce border operations in the coming weeks, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell announced today.
Each SBCT is a mechanized infantry force of approximately 4,400 soldiers, and the Army's nine SBCTs — seven active-duty and two National Guard — are known for their rapid deployment and versatility. Built around the Stryker vehicle — an eight-wheeled armored platform — the brigade balances mobility, protection and firepower. Capable of transport via C-130 Hercules aircraft within 96 hours, the Stryker excels in operations requiring swift response.
