We received this email from one of TakePride’s 4-31 supporters and we thought it would be perfect for the blog:

Dear Soldiers,

I just want to thank all of you for your courage and your personal
strength through this long deployment.

You will always be heroes in the eyes of those who love you and in the eyes of thousands more who through bits and pieces of real information in the media out there can only try to create an understanding of just how much you truly do for your country. 

Thank you so much. We love you.
 
Joanna

 
If any members of the 4-31 would like to respond to Joanna, please email me at ryan@takepride.com and I will forward it on.
