Cheer Our Troops With Mail
Send Us Your Loved One's Address - 2008
It was nearly five years ago, in 2003, that we created this page especially for Islanders who are serving in the armed forces overseas (or in the states). We encourage closely related relatives to submit the name, email and/or U.S. mail address, rank and service of their loved one to teddy@giecom.net. We will gladly post a photo along with a short note on where your relative or friend is at this time.
Won't you please take the time to write and tell our troops how proud you are that they have volunteered to protect our country? Come back to this page often, as additional names and addresses will be added as they are submitted.
