Largest Combat Mobilization of New Jerseys Own
Wayne Woolley of The Star-Ledger reported a detailed story titled “200 NJ police officers are heading to Iraq“.
As many as 200 law enforcement officers from New Jersey will deploy to Iraq in the fall as part of the state’s largest combat mobilization of military reservists since World War II, affecting police departments statewide.
The officers are either soldiers in an Army National Guard combat brigade that drills from armories across the state or belong to a Marine Reserve infantry company based in Morris County. The two units have more than 3,000 troops in all.
While I may not always agree with our countries foreign policies I do always support our troops. Their sacrifices pave the way for our freedoms past and present.
Our troops and their families really deserve community support for their sacrifices. Please help us show them that we appreciate their service to our county. American Recreational Military Services (A.R.M.S), a 501 (c)(3) Public Charity.
I wish them all a speedy and safe return home to their families and friends.
