When the company I work for really wants to get the word out, they attach a memo to our paychecks and make us come down to human resources in person and sign a roster proving that we got it. We should do this with our troops in Iraq.
Memo
Date: October 1, 2007
To: All military and civilian
personnel serving in Iraq
From: U.S. Congress on behalf of
the American People
Re: Redeployment
Thank you for your service. All of you have sacrificed far more than the rest of us and with few exceptions, you have served with great courage, honor, and skill. In accordance with Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution:
Section. 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
we have determined that your continued service is needed elsewhere (specific orders for each individual are attached). Note that unless specifically authorized, return transport to Iraq will not be provided. Please direct all questions to human resources.
