Let's Help To Bring Miranda Home
By unitedweroll on Jul 14, 2009 | In Military News and Support
Seldom do we receive a request for anything from our troops, other than for support and prayers. But there is a way you can help one of our Marine units now.
There is a Special Ops Marine unit that has been on some tough duty in Afghanistan and they are about to come home, but they may have to leave a special 4 legged member behind. Her name is Miranda. She is a dog that adopted this unit and they adopted her – this unit who has not had many comforts of home or very little else. Anyone who has ever had a dog for a companion is well aware of the void that four paws, a cold nose and a wagging tale can fill. Always there, no questions or demands and always ready to comfort.
If the Marines come home and have to leave Miranda behind, she could face a terrible fate – so they are trying to bring her home where her new family with one of the unit members is waiting for her. You can see more about Miranda’s story at her website – http://bringmirandahome.blogspot.com. There is a Donate button that you can click to make a donation with Paypal or a major credit card.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

United We Roll Show Schedule
Stardust Radio – www.stardustradio.com
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 2pm – 4pm Central
Repeats Wednesday 6:30pm – 8:30pm Central
Joining us during our first visit today will be CPL Nathan Painter who is currently deployed with the HHT- 1/150th ARS/HBCT (Hq Brigade Combat Team). CPL Painter was able to step in when another soldier who was scheduled to join us had to attend to duties instead. We really appreciate the way this young soldier was willing to make time to visit with us and talk about his deployment in an area south of Baghdad where he has been on patrols with the Iraqi Army for the past five months. He gives some great information on this area and more.
Our next visit is with two members on the staff of the dining facility at Manas Air Base where numbers of diners can fluctuate daily by hundreds due to the numbers of people who transition through this base on their way in and out of Afghanistan. Joining us are SrA Irprime Postrero and A1C Robert Whitefield who will not only talk about how they manage these large numbers of people, but also about how important their role is in providing comfort to these transferring troops and how they enjoy working with the local people of Kyrzgstan, who fill so many of the jobs at the facility. Despite the very long hours, these Airmen still find time to volunteer – stay tuned to be inspired.
Our third visit today will be with 1stLT Ryan Davis who is currently deployed with the 386th AEW (Air Expeditionary Wing). Lt Davis serves in the Protocol office where you have to be on your toes 24/7. All VIP’s – Very Important Persons – whether military or civilian have their arrangements handled by this office when they come to this area. Lt Davis and his staff make arrangements for travel, lodging, meals, meetings, tours and more. They have to know everything about each guest as you will hear.
Our fourth and final visit for today is with Chase Weiland, who is currently deployed with the OMT 44, 1-111th Infantry Division. Chase has a very unusual story – it is something that happens occasionally, but certainly was not expected. Though he is on his fourth deployment, he had left the service after his third combat tour and had gone back to college to complete his education and go on with his civilian life. Chase’s story will certainly touch your hearts and should again remind us of the many types of sacrifices our military members make as they protect us and our freedom.
Please folks, let’s do our part and show our support by being there when those who protect us need us – when the legislative process is making laws that will effect our military members, families, Veterans and our first responders. Let’s be there at every opportunity that our voices can be heard, loud and clear. And let’s keep those prayers going. Start a support prayer group at your church or synagogue. If you belong to a community club, adopt a unit or an individual military member – or join one of the many fantastic organizations that help in so many ways for our active duty, wounded, families, children of Fallen Heroes, Veterans and First Responders.
