Fort Lewis Rally at Freedom Bridge

When:	Saturday, September 11, 2010
Where:	Exit 122 off I-5 - Madigan/Camp Murray Exit (Freedom Bridge)
Time:	11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

It's been 9 years since 9/11

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire?
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

So many have given their last measure of devotion

to our country from Ft Lewis and still more serve today.

Let's show our troops we haven't forgotten them!

Please join OSOT to express our heartfelt gratitude and

support for those who continue to serve in harm's way at Freedom Bridge

on Saturday, September 11, 2010.

Bring your Flags and Signs of Support for Our Troops

Your heart will feel good

. . . even if you come for just an hour or two

and our Troops will know we continue to stand with them!

All Candidates and Elected Officials are welcome,

you are invited as citizens to honor our troops,

please leave your political signs at home.

See you on Freedom Bridge!

OSOT Announcement

Operation Support Our Troops continues to be on R & R due to health issues of our "Commander-in-Chief." Nadine Gulit was diagnosed in February with colon cancer. After going through surgery, she started chemotherapy and is in the hospital today as I write this message with complications. She needs our prayers now more than ever.

OSOT has continued to support our Troops by donating to Fisher House and sending packages to our Troops in a much smaller way. We are far from being disbanded or ending the support of our Troops. I will be sending another alert about a rally we are planning with the Red Hat Ladies to be held on June 12th.

It is with deep regret we need to inform you of a situation that has come about which we need to make clear for legal reasons; OSOT is not associated with nor takes any financial responsibility, administrative responsibility or advisory capacity with or for Operation Support Our Troops Northwest. In fact, Nadine was originally told by Diane and Blaine Anderson that they would not use OSOT's name when they started their support group. We have made several requests of Diane and Blaine Anderson to remove all references to Nadine, Sheryl, Terry and/or Operation Support Our Troops from their website and they have refused do to so.

They support our troops which we whole heartedly thank them for, but the name is far too close to Operation Support Our Troops and will confuse donors, supporters and the State of Washington.

Since Nadine, Sheryl and Terry, along with all of the core team members of OSOT, are obligated to report to the State of Washington all funds raised and disbursed, we must disavow any association with Operation Support Our Troops Northwest.

God Bless our Troops

And may He hold them safely in the palm of His hand

Until they return to their families who love them so!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Christmas Pack-Out. Whether you donated your time stuffing stockings, or sewing them, provided money to buy the items or pay the postage, we are humbled by your continued support and wanted to let you know that it was because of you that we were successful in packing up and sending out 10,000 Christmas Stockings to our adopted soldiers! Please know that your efforts helped these brave men and women serving this great Country feel a little closer to home and to know that they are loved and appreciated and certainly not forgotten at this special time of year. Our thanks to you all for your generosity, continued support and loyalty to our military personnel. God Bless you, our troops and our great Country!
