Its #SilentSoldierTuesday!! I have been getting a lot of questions of why supporters may have not heard from their soldier so I am reposting this information to explain a little better.... AAUSS does not guarantee that you will hear from your soldier. These men/women are working 14 hour days, working in life threatening situations, and usually have little to no internet access. Keep in mind we are at WAR!!! We do have many wonderful military personnel who do their best to keep in contact with their supporters and I know myself and many, MANY supporters have developed wonderful lasting friendships with the people they support. Always know that the weekly letters, whether you hear from them or not, are needed and making a huge impact. You bring a little bit of sunshine to a dreary situation. Think of it this way...have you ever got an unexpected letter or package from someone. Your face lights up, you rush inside to open it to see what’s inside, and your heart is full of thankfulness for this small gesture. Now imagine how this feels to someone thousands of miles away from the ones they love, where death, exhausting days, and frustration follow them around everywhere they go. ...and then they hear their name at mail call...someone cares is what your letter says just by landing in their hands. YOU are that light, so please continue your letters of joy for those who protect us day in and day out and ask for nothing in return. Even if you never get to see the joy, or the smile it’s there shinning across the miles, a heart full of happiness because of your letters. Most of all remember that you are needed. Whether you hear from your soldier or not. YOU are important and appreciated! Keep up your hard work and never get discouraged because you are making a difference in someone’s life that is thousands of miles away and that is something to be proud of all by itself. Thank you for supporting our troops!! --Until they all come home!! -- Tara AAUSS Admin
