Supporting Our Military, One eMail At A Time
May is Military Appreciation Month and May 26th is Memorial Day.
eMail Our Military’s founder is a military wife, the daughter of a veteran and an avid troop supporter. We’re volunteers from all walks of life who understand that regardless of our political views, our military service members deserve our respect, support & encouragement.
How We Began
eMail Our Military (eMoM) was created in 2001 as a response to the DoD’s cancellation of the “Any Service Member” and “Operation Dear Abby” mail programs. A safe alternative, eMOM picked up where these programs left off.
Using eMail, eMail Our Military (eMoM) provides a safe way for people to continue the tradition of “Any Service Member” mail with a much more personal touch. Service Members register with them for support and are matched with civilians who have registered to send and show their support to our troops.
The latest message form the founder reads as follows:
Trish Forant sent a message to the members of eMail Our Military.
Throughout our history, we have been blessed by the courage and commitment of Americans who were willing to pay the price of their tomorrows. They have fought and died for our freedom and have kept us sleeping secure each night in safety. Every one of them, from all different backgrounds, races and religions, no matter what battlefield they died on, every one, helped to build this strong nation we love. I’m proud to be an American and I don’t take my freedom for granted.
The great German poet, Goethe, said to his generation:
“What you have inherited from your fathers, earn over again for yourselves or it will not be yours.”
We inherited freedom. We seem unaware that freedom has to be remade and re-earned in each generation of man.

All the best,

To all out there in the service of our great country:
I hope you are safe and will return home to the most enthusiastic welcome back we can give you. You hold the line where others hold back. You did not ask for it; but you gave it your all when we need it the most.
Thank you all!!
My family fought in two world wars, Korea and Viet Nam. I was in SAC at McDill AFB in Tampa during the Cuban Crisis.
I sat in a bunker for 24 hours hoping no one somewhere in the world pushed a button and evaporated me and my family.
I hold this day, Memorial Day, one of the most honored of days for all American Service men and women to be held in the highest esteem for their service to this country, the sacrifice made and the hope they all return safe and sound to us.
Enjoy the time left —
