The late Honorable Sonny Montgomery, the author of the G.I. Bill was a strong believer in Support Our Troops as well as a great American.
G. V. Sonny Montgomery January 31, 2006
Mr. Martin C. Boire, Chairman Dear Martin: I am quite impressed with the concept of Support Our Troops, Inc. and the rapid progress that has been made on the foundation’s stated mission. I believe the philosophy, guiding principles and method of operation that has been laid out is right on target and will certainly prove to be of great benefit to the type of military families it targets to support. It is a great compliment to me that you and the Board would want me to serve as a member of the Support Our Troops Advisory Board, and I am pleased to accept your invitation. I believe that my greatest accomplishment during the thirty years I served in the U.S. Congress was my support of the military and its veterans, especially through the passage of the Montgomery G. I. Bill. In my opinion, the accomplishment of the mission of Support Our Troops will also do tremendous good for those who protect this great nation. It is my hope that Legislators all across America will do everything they can to help Support Our Troops accomplish its innovative goals, and that civilians and the great businesses and corporations of America will help Support Our Troops build a truly great national charity for our troops and their families. In stepping forward to permanently assist America’s troops and their families, Support Our Troops is a true testament to the character of America’s civilians. Honorable are the civilians who directly assist those who defend them and their freedom. Support Our Troops has a truly bold vision of good things planned for our troops and their families over the next century, and I wholeheartedly endorse these efforts and encourage others to work with you and the board as well. I look forward to seeing the troops’ families receive the benefits of the new programs Support Our Troops is establishing. Sincerely and with my best wishes
Sonny Montgomery
