WARRIORS COME FROM WARRIORS!
Goals: To Proudly Seek, Garner and Nurture Support for our Soldiers.
From the Founder of The Band of Mothers: As I watched Cindy Sheehan and her misguided bunch in Crawford, Texas, she ignited in this mother my “protective instincts.” I raised three children myself and well, let’s just say “nobody ever messed with my kids!” I do not believe there is a force in this world stronger than a mother’s instinct to protect her children. I have watched these protestors and worry so very much about how their disrespectful behavior affects our noble Soldier’s morale. I decided that we cannot afford nor allow their voice to be the only voice heard! Never a mother who could sit idly by, an idea formulated in my heart and in my mind that our brave men and women need “The Band of Mothers” to watch over them, and more importantly, to “Stick Up For Them!” If You would like to become a member of the Band of Mothers, simply go to the Ranger UP website and purchase a T-shirt and wear it often and everywhere! All proceeds after cost go to The Wounded Warrior Project and The Gathering of Eagles Organization - which protects our soldiers from the growing insurgency at home. We will know each other, and so will others, by our T-Shirts!
The Very Proud Mother of a United
States Soldier 82nd Airborne, An email was sent to the founder of The Band of Mother, Mrs. Perlson, which shows the character of our brave heroes, our soldiers and serves as an example of why the United States of America is the GREATEST nation in the world! We wanted to share it with you - THANKS RYAN, may God's speed and grace be with you. Dear Band of Mothers, Thank you so much for the support of the troops. Being a mother is not easy; being a mother in a situation where you know you may never see your beloved son or daughter again must be torture. You are correct, Warriors come from Warriors. I am 20 years old and from Colorado. I am a student at the University of Colorado, and come November, I am a United States Marine. My mother is terrified; I do not know what to tell her, but I know that this is something that I have to do, for America and for myself. Thank you for raising children with the courage and strength to serve. I wish the safe return of all of your children. Despite the efforts of peace groups and counter-protestors, there are always replacements such as myself. It may not seem like it, but there are still plenty of kids who know when to stand up and do what is right. In fact, the Army and USMC were above their recruitment quotas for last year; I would say there are a lot of us. It is an honor to follow your children into battle, and to relieve them so that they may return. Thank you again, you are an amazing group of women. I think I am going to get my mother a shirt. She is terrified, as I said; I hope that one day she can come to be proud of me as well. Thank you all.
Sincerely,

On the evening of May 2, 2008, at Louie's
Chop House on the south side of Chicago, I had the honor of dining with
the Producer and Crew of the infamous radio show "Chandler's Watch" on
www.sandiego1700.com. The last time I
had such a memorable and entertaining evening I had visited my Hero
Son and his Hero Brothers at Ft. Bragg! From left to right, yours truly
with Leo McSweeney (Co-Host on SanDiego1700), Tommy Chandler (Host) and
John "Howie" Howell (Producer). These Pro-Victory Marines actively
support their Brothers and ACTIVELY antagonize Suzi and Code Pink every
chance they get!!! Checkout their radio show on Saturday nights at 5pm
pacific time. They are huge supporters of our troops and just the Best
Company you can be in! Thanks with all my heart for all you fellows are
doing for our brave men and women. You are The BEST!
MRS. JACKY’s SOLDIERS A small group of volunteers in Oak Lawn, IL meet almost every week to pack and mail boxes to soldiers from the south side area or that have relatives in the same area. These soldiers in turn pass the material to their units and several units around them, continuously spreading out the good will from the community back home. It all started in March 2003 when a student’s parent from Mrs. Jacky’s early education classes at the Oak Lawn Park District was sent to Iraq. Items were collected and sent out weekly in small boxes. The soldiers’ names kept growing and so did the collections. Soon this group became known as “Mrs. Jacky’s Soldiers.” The soldiers who have returned all say the same thing in their thanks to this group, “It was not what you sent, but that you sent all the time to show us that someone back home cares about us.” Their families also expressed their gratefulness that their soldier’s morale was being positively lifted with each box sent. Stamps, letters and items are accepted at Oak View Center at 4625 W 110th Street in Oak Lawn, IL 60453. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mrs. Jacky at 708-857-2200. Thank you for your positive thoughts for the soldiers! Mrs. Jacky: )
