Thank you for all you have done. Especially for taking care of and supporting each other during your long journey in Kirkuk. I know that a simple Thank You hardly seems like much, but it truly comes from my heart. My daughter, Sgt Jasmin Ringlaben, traveled with you on your journey. You will never know how grateful I am that she came home. Since one person does not fight a war alone, I owe each and every one of you a debt of gratitude. My prayers continue to be for all of you. THANK YOU!

With a "Polar Bear" of our own awaiting deployment, we feel like all the 10th Mountain soldiers are new family members. God bless each and every one of you. Stay strong and safe, and know with each step you take that our thoughts and prayers travel with you.
