Letters from Your Soldiers
Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

Vilseck, Germany. (June 1, 2025): In this photo by Specialist Elijah Magana, Soldiers with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment and their families begin the family color run on the final day of Dragoon Week at U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria. The run is part of a weeklong annual observance celebrating the heritage of the Army’s longest continuously serving cavalry regiment, also known as the Second Dragoons. Dragoon Week includes physical competitions, tactical challenges, and plenty of community engagement.
The 2nd Cavalry Regiment was founded in 1836 and saw their first combat action during the Seminole Indian Wars in Florida. In 1846, the 2nd Cavalry was ambushed by Mexican troops in a battle that was known as the Thornton Affair. The assault against American troops gave then President Polk the justification for invading Mexico. In declaring war, Polk called the attack "American blood shed on American soil.”

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
