Rute Belanger and her husband Army Major John Belanger.

Major John Belanger is on his 4rd deployment. He also has a birthday next month. John joined the military when he was 18 and he is turning 41.

John is my best friend; he is a Transportation Offices assigned to 82nd Division from FT Bragg, NC. John works hard and loves to have fun, especially in sports. He is a great athlete; he has run numerous triathlons and marathons, he plays and coaches hockey. He is very energetic and committed to live a healthy well balanced life.

Happy Birthday sweetheart! We love and miss you and can't wait to see you soon. We are so proud of you!

Thank you for supporting our troops. I am a 23 year Air Force vet and now a defense contractor that works closely with the military. A day does not go by that I find my self asking "Where do we get such brave patriots?" I am honored to get briefings on the status of our work in Iraq, and we have given this people freedoms that they have not seen for THOUSANDS of years. Only a few get the word out–thank you for being one of them. These soliders, sailors, and airmen deserve our respect. I have met severely disabled soliders that would do it all over again, because they felt they made a difference in someone's life. They ask for nothing in return. You provide an outlet for Americans to thank these soliders–and I thank you for doing that.
