This Section is called "About Us" because we thought that you would like to know who is running Operation: Letters from Home.
Dylan Turner:
I am the Founder of Operation: Letters from Home. I am eighteen (18) years old and a Senior in my High School. I started OLH on July 14th, 2012 after learning a close friend of mine lost her brother in Afghanistan. I have made it possible LEGALLY for my fellow citizens to write letters/cards to these troops and their families. My first letter I wrote after starting this was to Noal who at the age of one lost his father CW3 Brian Hazelgrove, who died while returning from a mission when his OH-58 Kiowas crashed killing him and his Co-Pilot. I have also been a Civil War Reenactor for the past ten (10) years. I have met many Veterans and have talked for hours with many of them about their services and it is one of my favorite things to do. I am currently a "Poolee" in the United States Marine Corps.

Sarah:
Hello my name is Sarah. I am one of the admins I would like to tell you a bit about myself. I will start off by saying my sister is in the army she will be home in a couple of weeks. I love to play softball. my fav music to listen to is country! I get the question a lot "Do you want to join the army?" Well I don't know, I wanna be a police officer but I dont know if I wanna be a MP( military police officer). Why do I wanna help with OLH? Well it all started off by me trying to start my own group writing letters and it failed. So one day I posted on this random page and then the owner of OLH messaged me and he did. He ask if I would like to write letters. I said YES PLEASE, then I ask would you like me to help you and he said sure. I am doing this because I love to help others along with that I definitely LOVE to write soldiers.
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother"
