Senator John Barrasso

Dear Friends,
I just got back from visiting Wyoming’s Army National Guard troops in Kuwait. They are there to defend our freedom-- and they are making us proud. I visited with hundreds of Wyoming soldiers at three bases – Arifjan, Camp Virginia, and Ali Al Salem. On any given day, our Wyoming troops log over 10,000 miles transporting equipment and supplies around Kuwait and throughout Iraq. Each of the soldiers wanted you at home to know that they are doing well, trying to get adjusted to the 117-degree heat and are settling in for the year ahead. The people of Wyoming have always supported our troops and their families. Make sure to continue to reach out and involve the families of soldiers in events throughout our communities. Invite them to community and church socials, involve them in community activities, and lend a helping hand. Our brave Wyoming service men and women will be grateful to know their families continue to be supported by folks at home.

Best wishes,
U.S. Senator John Barrasso
