He wants us to drop a single word of encouragement below and he will read it to his squad tonight.
His mother is probably at home right now with her ringer turned all the way up. She carries the phone from the kitchen to the bedroom. She listens for any small vibration on the table while she washes the dishes.
That is the quiet waiting that happens in thousands of living rooms while our troops are deployed. Every hour is just a long stretch of silence until the phone finally rings.
Watch this video one more time. Look at his face just before he asks us to follow his page. You can see the dust on his collar. He is standing somewhere far away under a hot sky, but he is looking right at us.
Tonight he will sit down in the dark with his squad. They will be resting after a long day of work. He is going to open his phone and read them every single comment under this post.
It takes two seconds to type a response. Those seconds turn into words that travel across the ocean to American soldiers. Your words will go all the way to their camp.
Help them get through the night. Drop one single word of encouragement below. ❤️
