10 Years at War

October 7th, 2011

Ten years ago today marked the beginning of ground combat in Afghanistan, essentially launching the war on terror. This is the longest war our Nation has yet waged. It is a foundry that forged the most lethal and experienced military the world has ever seen.

As we enter our second decade of war, think of our troops, both serving and veteran, and do what you can to support them and their families. Whether it’s building protective products or weapon systems, caring for the wounded, donating to military and veteran charities, or just offering an ear to listen, these men and women need the support of the Nation.
