Operation American Hero

This is not a picture of the soldier of the week.

Cowboy Fellowship would like to thank all of you who take time out of your day to post a prayer or a short letter to our soldiers. As one of our American heroes wrote back, "words of encouragement, love, and support, and prayers for us, even when coming from a stranger, do more for our morale and confidence, than you can even imagine." Please continue to take a few minutes out of your busy schedules. Let's keep the letters coming for these men and women fighting for our freedom, until they all come home.

We believe in supporting our troops. From this page we want everybody to have an opportunity to support the troops with an encouraging word. Your note can be long, short, or some place in between, but let the soldier know how much you appreciate them.
     Please know that the staff of Cowboy Fellowship, for security reasons, will screen all notes before they are sent. We are also sending small care packages out to the soldiers, if you would like to donate something you can contact the office.
     Having trouble thinking of what to write? At the very bottom of this page you can read what others have written for ideas, please DO NOT use the same letters, these are just to help give you an idea of what to write. We have also started collecting new and gently used DVD's to send the soldiers. Most are base bound for safety and have a lot of time on their hands. You may place your donations in the box at the CD table at the back of the church. We try to send each soldier 2 or 3 movies to watch and share.

Dear_American_Hero I want you to know just how much my family and I appreciate what you are doing for your country. My brother just returned from Iraq and I know just how difficult it can be at times but know that you are a very brave person for being there and defending the innocent that can not defend themselves. You may never meet all of the people that appreciate you and you may never be told "thank you" enough times to let you know what a wonderful job you are doing. So I want you to know, that on behalf of me and my son, I can not put into words how grateful we are. Words just don't seem to be enough to let you know what your sacrifices are worth to us. I hope your family and friends appreciate you as much as we do. Please take care of yourself and come home safe. With all of my heart I thank you for everything you have done and are doing. May God be with you always.

Dear_American_Hero My prayers are with you where ever you may be. May God bless and keep you safe until your return home to your family. Thank you for keeping America safe.

I don't know where you are, but I hope that you are as safe as possible. I do not know what you are going through, but I imagine that it is very difficult. I would like to say thank you for your selfless service. I know that I can only enjoy the freedoms this county offers because people like you have chosen to serve. I pray every day for the safety and security for those who serve our country. I teach my daughters that our freedom has a price, and that it is paid by people such as yourself. I am privileged and honored to be called a fellow American of our soldiers.

I know that talk is cheap and I do not know if you are able to send a reply to these letters, if there is anything you might need that I can help with please let me know.

Thank you for your service, I will never forget our soldiers.
