Proud Navy Moms sending love and support

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (Jan. 20, 2010) Lt. Marlin Williams, a Navy chaplain, and members of the U.S. Coast Guard escorts a Hatian patient to a SHS-60S Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 26.

NOW...LOOK CLOSER at PHOTO #1. By all accounts this looks like crewman dropping water for Haitians that are badly in need of this very precious necessity. However, in the background, you can see one of our very own, protecting the people of Haiti, trying to keep them away from the helicopter rotors. Trying to calm what is most certainly a chaotic situation. We thank you for you dedication to the greater good.
NOW...LOOK CLOSER at PHOTO #2. Our finest, escorting a young Haitian boy to a Helicopter that will allow him to get needed medical care. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but our Navy and our Coast Guard are working as a team, to protect this boy. I have never seen a photo that shows such teamwork, compassion and determination. Global force for Good, yes, we think so.
Navy Moms and members of Molly's Adopt a Sailor alike have been moved by the images we've been seeing on TV and the Internet. We know that there are hundreds of charities that are raising millions upon millions of dollars for the ravaged island of Haiti, and her people, and we have contributed to their efforts. But we sat here thinking what can we do for those first responders, those that will see and smell devastation, desperation and most certainly death. What can we do to ease their minds, when they find the time to reflect on all that they have been a part of, on all that they have seen in a 24 hour period, or a rotation to the island. We can most certainly send a letter of encouragement. We can most certainly thank them for being a part of something that is bigger than themselves, and we can most certainly try, through our words, to ease the burden of being a first responder in a disaster situation. Yes, they volunteered to join the Military. Yes, they are getting paid to do their job. And yes, we could let that be enough. But that is not what we are about. We, are about letting them know that we are thankful that they chose to join the greatest Military on the planet. We , are about wanting to never let this nation or it's people forget the power of the sacrifices they've made, and those that stood before them, for that matter. We, are about letting them know, their nation and her people are extremely proud. Quite frankly, proud beyond words.
Will you help us? One letter, to one Military person supporting the humanitarian efforts in Haiti. You can make a difference in one of their lives. I've seen time and time again, the power of the written word. The power of a letter and the sincerity behind that letter, can move mountains and ease a mind.
Click the link below to get the address information. We need to reach over 5000 Military Personnel in this region, and we must not let them down. If you are willing to write a letter or get your community involved, email us below, and we will get you the information that you need to make this happen.
Thank you in advance.

Molly and Team.
