Military Support organizations and allied groups teamed up with Cal-Expo to support our troops in a unique way. Each day of the fair, visitors are hand writing personal messages to the troops on these large 4' x 8' banners. These completed banners will be shipped out to military units on a daily basis. Most will be destined for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Volunteers welcome - a dozen military medical facilities have been selected
The Messages: Thank your for your sacrifice and get well soon.

The pictures above are from SSgt Stephanie Cowan and unit in front of a C-130, all stationed at Balad AFB about 68 Kilometers north of Baghdad.   As soon as the banner was received from the California State Fair, the Squad Commander gathered up the troops and had this picture taken with much gratitude for our remembrance of the troops serving us in combat and away from loved ones.   

On a personal note.  My daughter Stephanie called the morning she got the banner with tears in her voice and pride for her mom and the work being done by all for the troops over there.  She knows she’s one of the lucky ones who is a short timer (due to come home next month) and she tells me all the troops have great pride in the work they are doing Iraq and need our support.
