Post Your Messages to Our Soldiers in Afghanistan

For those who have been following this blog, you are already aware of the fact that OPSEC prevents soldiers from speaking out or sharing their stories while they are serving in the military. For this reason, A Soldier’s Voice is going in a bit of a different direction. Instead of receiving stories from soldiers, we are now going to share OUR stories with soldiers.

Think about this for a moment… Many of our troops serving in Afghanistan have little interaction with their friends and family. I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worthy of mentioning again. A few weeks ago, I spoke to one soldier who stated he had been serving in Afghanistan for nearly 3 years. During that time he had received TWO letters from home and ONE care package. He’s not alone. Many of our soldiers are being forgotten and I intend to do something about it.

For those of you who would like to share a story, give thanks, or offer words of support to U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan, this is the place where you can do so.

Simply, click on the Comments button below this post and send your message. I moderate each and every comment, so it may take a short while before your comment appears. The only restriction I enforce is that there will be no negative comments allowed through. This is NOT a political platform to air all the reason we shouldn’t be at war. There are plenty of other places you can do that.

A Soldier’s Voice is a place to lift the spirits of our troops. Let’s join together and send them love, support and comfort. Are you ready to help? Then click on the Comment button below and write your heart out!

  2. I would like to pray for some specific soldiers stationed in Afghanistan or Iraq. I have a friend over there in afghanistan and have lost contact with him.

  3. to all you brave soliders

    my name is Chantelle im actally from Canada, so no i don’t have anyone fighting in the military, nor have i ever lost anyone in battle, but that doesn’t mean that i don’t care, i just really hope you are all dong as good as can be. and i suppoet all of you 100%.

    I’m actually a model, but the kind of modelng i do is a little different, instead of haveing my face posted all over magazines, im a “model of support” is what its called, my photographer takes my pictures and sells them, and all that money goes to a good cause, right now we just earned $100,000 for breast cancer reaserch, and know i am trying to earn $200,000 for for all of you fighting over sea.
    i salute all of you!

    your in my prayers
    God bless you

  4. Last early year, I am a Chinese and a dedicated Christian. I met a very good Christian Brother called Dennis through a website . he was deployed to Iraq at that time. we fell in love each other deeply although we did not have chance to meet physically. I was waiting for him to come back to marry with him.
    but, last year July, I lost contact with him totally since he was deployed to Afghanistan. I don’t know the reason and his whereabout. everyday, I put him and all of our soliders in my prayers for God bless them come back safely.

    May God bless my Dennis and all of our soliders in Iraq and Afghanistian !

  5. Dear Precious Soldiers,
    Please know you are NEVER forgotten. I would be happy to write you personal letters of encouragement. I brag about you and your work all the time whereever I go. I have read as many books written by those who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq (by soldiers) as I can get my hands on.
    You are very precious and extremely valuable. Your work is making such a difference. The Afghan people are so very greatful, you have made a profound difference. Please don’t get discouraged. I know day by day can be difficult but everyday is used by God in a very significant way. You impact so many lives over there and here in the US.
    God bless and keep in touch,
    Ms. Deveney Tucker, a military loyal
