FROM JENNY TRACY, FRG CHAIRPERSON FOR THE 2-150 FA HHB

I come to you again today with some more sorrow. As the Indiana Army National Guard has to say good-bye to 2 more soldiers, SPC Jonathan Menke and SGT Gary Henry of the 38th MP Unit. These soldiers lost their life while serving in Iraq. They are true heroes and we should bow our heads to remember their service to our country. Please send keep these families and their fellow 38th soldiers in your prayers as they deal with this tragedy.

I know many of you may feel guilt as you think privately to yourself, thank God my soldier is ok. This is only natural. Be thankful for your soldiers fortune, but be cognizant of this situation. These soldiers paid the ultimate sacrifice and we honor their service and duty. All of soldiers are doing a risk full job that is extremely dangerous. This family is most certainly grieving due to the loss and we as a military family need to provide them support in any way we can. Anything you want sent to this unit or families can be given to me directly as I will make sure the appropriate people receive your heart warming thoughts.

Today has been a tough blow for Indiana and it's National Guard, but remember we are STRONG. Together as a military family, we can get through this pain and support each other. This FRG is here to support you (soldiers and families).

May God bless you!

As the year wraps up, we are proud that all of the Desert Wolves and Ruff Ryder units made it home safe and sound from Iraq. We thank you for your service in an area that is sometimes not appreciative of what you are doing for them. Our freedom is safe because of men and women like yourselves that volunteerily put yourself in harms way to ensure freedom for the rest of us. Us at HHB hope that your transition will be a safe one and that you and your families will be able to enjoy the holidays more. Thank you again for your service to our country and WELCOME HOME!!!
