Chaplain (Major) Douglas Etter, stationed since July with the 110th Infantry at Camp Habbaniyah, has kept family and friends up-to-date on life at the front - the joys and sorrows - in some 16 newsletters. He includes a list of needs and a thank you list of every individual and group who cared enough to send care packages.

Thank you notes, said Kaiser, will also be a part of this mission.

Jan McHenry, holds a portrait of her son, Patrick that was his graduation picture from West Point Military Academy in 1988. Over the years,

 he served with the Berlin Brigade and became a Ranger and now serves in the National Guard as second-in-command at Camp Habbaniyah, Iraq. McHenry shared the joys and worries of being a military mom, and how it's been her passion to help make her son's troops a little bit more comfortable during their service. A widow since July 11, 2005, she has chosen to move forward and has inspired a community to join her in the "Support the Needs of Our Troops" project.
