Kudos to all who attended the RANWC Affiliates Open House on Friday and checked out the many real estate related products and services! Also, special thanks to those who contributed to Helping Our Heroes. Below is a message that RANWC staffer Tracy Marquart received from a GI from Waukegan, IL who is stationed overseas, commenting on the good work of this group. Tracy sent it out under the title "Awe friggin tears." After you read it, you know what she meant.

Thank you so much. Your great. What you do really helps us out. I dont need any tuperware but thank you for the offer. September 11th was crazy here. We had to be on full guard and it really sucked. In the chow halls they had video from the day the towers fell and just seeing all the people we lost made it a sad day for everyone. It was my hardest day here mentaly. Even when we lose a soldier its hard on us but we all come over knowing that we might not all make it back. For those people on September 11th, they done nothing. They were innocent and just living their lives with no harm to no one. They should still be alive with there loved ones. Its hard being here and seeing those images from that day. It just fills your body with hate. But it also helps us not to forget what we are fighting for and why we are here. This place will play tricks on the mind and make a soldier forget about the world they have waiting for them back home. That is why you and people like you are important to soldiers. You help us by showing your support and that we are not forgotten. You are a blessing from god with a heart that keeps giving. Thank you so much for everything you do for us.
