Support Our Troops!
I’m asking you to join me and Freedom Alliance in a special mission — to forge a bond of patriotic solidarity with our troops by proudly carrying the Support Our Troops Dog Tag ...
Dear Fellow Patriot,
Let me first tell you, nothing brings tears to the eyes of this old Marine like seeing the incredible sacrifices our brave combat troops are making for us every day.
Sacrifices like those made by Marine Gunnery Sgt. Greg Salcido.
Greg proudly served 16 years in the Marines as an infantryman, marksmanship instructor, and imagery analysis specialist in the intelligence field.
He served multiple deployments overseas, including two combat tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.
During these tours, Greg took part in many dangerous combat and high intensity operations. He always demonstrated the bravery ... the discipline ... and the commitment to accomplishing a mission for which Marines are famous.
And he paid a heavy, heavy price.
As a result of putting his life on the line for us, Greg suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and continues to suffer from Disc Degeneration in both his neck and back. He also suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress.
He may spend many years — potentially the rest of his life -- in rehabilitation, therapy, and counseling for his physical and emotional wounds.
Fortunately, Greg has a loving wife (a former Marine herself) and three beautiful children to rally around him and encourage him through the difficult times ahead.
But even when surrounded by loving family members, wounded veterans like Greg can still feel isolated and alone. These warriors have spent their military careers in the very best physical condition and could never imagine not being able to take care of themselves.
Suddenly, a wounded warrior like Greg wonders if he’ll ever be able to get and hold a job ... and worries if he will be able to support his wife and kids.

That is why I am asking you to do three things:
(1.) Show your support to our troops by filling out the form on the right with your, “Thank you for your service to our country!” message to our troops. When I receive your personal message, I’ll send it to one of our wounded heroes Freedom Alliance is helping at home or one of our brave men or women in combat zones today, at risk for our freedom.
(2.) KEEP the "I Support Our Troops!" Dog Tag you received in the mail. Display it proudly — on a keychain or necklace — so you’ll see it every day and be reminded to pray for the troops. It will also be a visible, public symbol of your support for the troops and your commitment to our campaign to beat back the Left’s vicious onslaught against the American military.
(3.) When you send your personal Support Our Troops Dog Tag message, please include a tax-deductible contribution to Freedom Alliance.
With the loyal support of staunch patriots like you, Freedom Alliance is able to advance our vital and urgently-needed programs, such as:
• Sending Gifts From Home Care Packages to active-duty troops in foreign war zones — Freedom Alliance is one of the few organizations still sending these care packages to combat personnel abroad.
• Providing medical, rehab, and recovery support for our wounded warriors.
• Providing emergency financial assistance to wounded veterans and their families.
• Funding scholarships for the sons and daughters of service members killed or wounded in action...
... and much, much more.
But the demand for our vital programs is increasing rapidly, and our ability to meet this demand depends ENTIRELY on the continuing financial support of patriots like you.
Without Freedom Alliance, I fear that many American heroes like Marine Gunnery Sgt. Greg Salcido will needlessly carry the physical and mental scars of war for the rest of their lives.
That’s something we must never let happen, my friend.
If you agree, please rush me your generous gift of $25, $50, $100 or even more along with your Support Our Troops Dog Tag message today. Thank you!
LtCol Oliver L. North, USMC (Ret.)
Founder and Honorary Chairman, Freedom Alliance
P.S. Remember, I want you send Support Our Troops Dog Tag message back to me today. Your message will be delivered to a wounded warrior like Marine Gunnery Sgt. Greg Salcido, or to one of our brave troops serving in a foreign war zone.
Then keep the Support Our Troops Dog Tag we sent you for yourself. Please keep it handy as a reminder to pray for our troops and wounded veterans and as a visible symbol of your support for the brave heroes who defend America’s freedom.
Please include a generous tax-deductible gift. Your urgently needed gift of $25, $50, $100, or more will help keep Freedom Alliance’s vital programs supporting our wounded vets like Greg, our combat troops, and their families. Thanks again, and may God bless you now and always!
