FORMER CONGRESSMAN RETURNS FROM
6 MONTH TOUR SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN

From 2010-2011, Major Charles Djou, US Army Reserves, served in the United States Congress, representing the State of Hawaii. He had won a special election in that state, for an open seat, but lost it in the next general election. After leaving the halls of congress, Charles Djou went back to what he did best - serving the US in the Army. He began a 6 month tour in Afghanistan.

Djou recently returned from his Afghanistan tour, and has a lot to say about the troops and the work they are doing there.

"After six (very long) months deployed with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan away from my wife and children, I am happy to finally be home.Mahalo to each and every one of you who kept my wife, Stacey, and my three children in your thoughts and prayers; who remembered me and my fellow soldiers with kind notes and care packages; and who held down the "fort" and kept the campaign going in my absence."

Now that Major Djou is back stateside, he says he plans to run for office again and wants to remind voters about the troops overseas. We can't forget about our troops or their important mission to defeat the terrorists!

"I recognize that the war on terrorists is not as hot an issue as it was in 2010 and certainly 2008, but I do have a unique perspective and I do think it's important," Djou said in his first interview since his return. "I have a unique vantage point in explaining to the American people not to forget about those soldiers in harm's way."

Major Djou's message serves as a reminder to all of us 
that we can't forget about our troops still fighting the terrorists and serving in harm's way in Afghanistan. We can still send them care packages full of goodies to support them!
