We said to ourselves, we want to welcome everyone in the group and support the troops and their families, and we've been steadfast in that view. The community response has been terrific.

This is financed entirely through the generosity of the community. It's very important that our troops know just how much we support them. There's always an upsurge (in support) during the holidays. And that support is absolutely wonderful. But we also think it's important not to forget our soldiers the other 11 months.

You can support the troops but not the president.

The troops need to know we support them. We want them to know we care,

We support the troops whole-heartedly.

I don't think the troops are getting the support where they are going to stay a month a year, or how long they will stay.
