"I'll see you on the high ground."

by Captain Joe Hansen in honor of SFC Jared Monti  

Sergeant Monti was a American Soldier, he was a leader of men and he was my brother. He was that which makes us salute when we see our Nation's flag,.. and cry when we remember. It is men such as this that shrouds us with our freedom at home and provides us our armor in battle. It is men such as this that we pause and sigh in the half light of our lives and wish it were otherwise. It is men such as Sergeant First Class Jared Monti that makes me proud to be an American Soldier. It has been my greatest privilege and my honor to serve alongside you Monti.   "I'll see you on the high ground."

  Captain Joe Hansen TF Spartan U.S. Army

AAP MISSION STATEMENT

The AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort™ founded in 1998 is a nonprofit 501C-3 organization managed nationwide by volunteer mothers to ensure that deployed United States Service members in all branches of the military are not forgotten by providing needed mail support and to promote patriotism in our schools and communities. To provide a better deployment quality of life, lift morale, and assist military families, the AAP created projects that meet the need of military requests, established special projects for holidays, and assigns individual morale lifting mail support to service members of all branches of the U.S. military serving their Nation around the world.

Pray for our Fallen Heroes

We weep that the flower of our youth lie in gardens of stone, sown there to
preserve the lives of other humanity and to protect those of us whom they
love. May our Heavenly Father smile upon them and say "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant. Enter into the rest of the Lord, thy God."
It is incumbent upon us to honor their memory by our devotion, and to assure
they did not die in vain. So help us God.

Hang Tuff, my dear friends,

AAP Platoon Mom Kathleen Salmas has been supporting Army soldiers of 321st Field Artillery Regiment deployed to Afghanistan. Their words describe why we do this patriotic work on behalf of our Nation's Heroes.

"I would like to Thank You for the unprecedented support my platoon has received from you!  Your generosity, support and willingness to help has been unparalleled! Lastly, the Christmas Stockings were a big hit! You have been a great motivation to my soldiers, as they've come to realize that their sacrifice over here, their dedication to service and duty has not gone without notice. For everything Mrs. Salmas, Thank You... LT Kelton."

 

Airman receives warm welcome home after 14 month deployment overseas: " A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."-- Author Unknown

Adopt a Platoon’ Still Thrives After 10 Years

By Jamie Findlater
Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 28, 2008 – Ida Hagg knows all about care packages; in fact, after 10 years of sending them out, she's pretty much an expert.

"The troops appreciate beef jerky, sunflower seeds, movies, DVDs,” she said. “In the outlying areas, they appreciate receiving baby wipes and socks and hygiene products -- and all this is topped off with tons of cookies."

Hagg first realized the importance of care packages when her own son was deployed to the Balkans, she explained during an “ASY Live” BlogTalkRadio interview. The online radio program is an extension of the Defense Department’s America Supports You program, which connects citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home or abroad..READ MORE
