Operation Enduring Freedom represents the beginning of a much bigger picture. The phrase represents something that started over 200 years ago in the colonies of what would be the United States of America. Great men were forced to make grave decisions in a grim time. Thank God that they, for the most part, made the hard decisions correctly, and that they were at the right place at the right time. This group is meant to thank and support marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen in harms way securing freedom.

Our goal is to keep the postings rated 'G' since we would like to have our families involved with supporting the troops. There's always YAHOO group chats to go crazy in. And these are a good way for stressed out troops to unwind and let loose.
