Hewitt discussed exciting news regarding citizen effort to enable victory in Iraq, recently endorsed by General David Petraeus, the top U.S. General in Iraq

Radio host Hugh Hewitt featured Major Eric Egland as a guest to discuss Troops Need You.

Major Egland discussed the exciting news regarding Troops Need You, as well as the plans for expanding the effort to mobilize the American people in direct support of victory in Iraq.

Over the weekend, the first battalion supported by Troops Need You, the 1-28 Infantry from Fort Riley, Kansas, confirmed that they received and distributed to the Iraqis in their area the medical supplies shipped by Troops Need You. Battalion leadership confirmed the supplies are "making a difference" and helping them complete the mission.

The model for supporting the troops is outlined in Egland's book, "The Troops Need You, America: Six Ways to Help Them Win."

With last week's endorsement from General David Petraeus, Commanding General of US Forces in Iraq, Troops Need You is already starting to expand the number of battalions supported. Several battalions have been identified and, with your support, Troops Need You will ship them what they need to win.
