ACTION ALERT: FT. HOOD SHOOTINGS

Dear Members,

One of our members received this email and asked us to send it on to you. The attack of soldiers on our own soil is horrendous. Please take a few minutes out of your very busy schedules today to send a card or a letter of support to the wounded warriors and their families and to the families of those who were brutally murdered. In this world of the Political Correctness Police, your words of thank, support and prayer will remind everyone at Ft. Hood, TX, that there are a lot of people who still believe in them.

ACTION ALERT: FT. HOOD SHOOTINGS

November 6th, 2009 8 : 09 AM



Our Family has a soldier stationed at Ft. Hood. We have contacted him and he is safe. Overnight I have made contact with friends at the 1st Cav and I am collecting cards and letters from the public of support for those who were injured and for the families of those who were killed. We will collect your cards and letters of support and get them to the correct individuals in bulk via Federal Express. Send them today! It costs you 44 cents to support these troops and their famlies. Pass this email along to your friends. We must continue to support our troops both at home and in their deployment.



If you have war hate mail (and yes I still get those) just send it to me and I will personally write you back no matter if it takes me a year to hand write them all. My family serves this nation and we'll be damned if we stand any disrespect of our military. Our military makes no policy or gets involved in politics - this has to do with them volunteering to uphold your rights to complain by upholding our US Constitution. You will receive a copy of the US Constitution with my reply.



Please address your cards and letters as follows:



Ft. Hood, Injured

c/o OPAC

560 Peoples Plaza, #121

Newark DE 19702



Ft. Hood, Family of those killed

c/o OPAC

560 Peoples Plaza, #121

Newark, DE 19702



Hate Mail:

Mrs. Frankie Mayo, President

Operation AC, Inc.

560 Peoples Plaza #121

Newark, DE 19702



11 Killed where US Army soldiers, 1 was a civilian. I am certain these families will be thankful for your outpouring of support in this aweful time. The injured will be glad to receive your support during their recovery. It helps their mental health to know, that Americans still care about the sacrifices they make for our freedom.



Please keep ALL members of our United States Military in your prayers. This is a horrible disaster at home. I was sickened when I heard about it moments before it hit the news.



We must never give up, we must continue on supporting our troops they need us now more than ever!



God Bless our Troops and thank you for your support of our troops. Times are tough in our nation - it is the cost of a stamp.



Mrs. Frankie Mayo

Operation AC Inc. (a 501(c)3 non-profit troop support company)
