DO YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS ASSIGNED TO THE 14TH COMBAT ENGINEER BATTALION AT FORT LEWIS, WASHINGTON? The soldiers of the 14th Combat Engineer Battalion have deployed to Iraq and are fully settled in their Areas of Operation. They expect to be there for the full 18 month deployment. Some of the stations they are operating out of have good logistical support while others are pretty sparse. It is impossible to provide details of this nature at this time. If you would like to send boxes of Good Will items and expressions of appreciation and support, please address the boxes or expressions to: CSM Sterling Otto,  ATTN: 14th CEB Assn (Good Will), FOB Warrior, APO, AE09336. This is the Command Sergeant Major of the 14th Combat Engineer Battalion, and he will see to it that the boxes and expressions are delivered to the soldiers where it is most needed. These soldiers are just starting their 18 month deployment, and the family members left behind deserve our strong support. The Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) are well organized to provide aid and assistance to family members, but sometimes there are situations where additional support will be welcome. There is an organization near Ft Lewis that specializes in this type of work. They support the 14th Combat Engineer Battalion and other units in the Pacific Northwest with contributions from businesses and individuals like yourself. They have supported the 14th CEB during prior deployments, and stand ready to support today. Please send your cash contributions to Operation Homefront Washington today.
