Colonel Bill Ellis, USAF1759 views"Here is a picture of my husband Bill Ellis, Colonel USAF. He is currently serving in Qatar and moving to Afghanistan on Monday.
I wanted to see if you would have the photo posted on the board at the field during the game. I just want to make a tribute to him. He works so hard and has been a loyal Steelers fan since he was 7 years old." -- Susan Ellis

January, 2011 - Showing support from "the other side of the world"1686 views "I'm LTJG William L. Tschumy, USN, and I just wanted to share a photo of a buddy of mine from Flight School who also just so happens to be one of your team's greatest fans! His name is Lieutenant Junior Grade Bobby Telatovich, callsign, "Fun Bobby", United States Navy, and is currently forward deployed. Honestly, I'm sending in this picture because I'm not sure how those Terrible Towels made their way to the other side of the world, but they did, and I thought it would be cool to show the rest of America, and the world this picture of a Die Hard Steeler Fan! He's the dude on the right with the sunglasses, one of my best buds. Thank you!" -- LTJG Tschumy

"Good morning...from Iraq...I'm a US Army soldier, getting ready to finish out my tour in Iraq and was just wondering if you would like to pass on to Ben (and the rest of the team) some of the attached photos of me and my teammates during our travels through the country with my Terrible Towel.
"I've been a Steeler fan since I was a kid and never thought I'd get to do the things I've been doing for the Army and for our country...I just wanted to share these with you all and hope you enjoy them...One thing I've been able to do is follow the Steelers during this deployment and I'm looking forward to getting home and catching the last couple of the season from my home (in Virginia) with my family. Take care and thanks!"

"Great job week in and week out, young guys are stepping in and working through adversity only makes the team more cohesive.
The Steelers (you guys) are the reason why I wake up at 0200hrs on a Monday morning to watch football. Its not just football, it motivates me to work hard and do what has to be done, just so I can see next weeks game. Its the reason why my peers knock on my door because they hear yelling and screaming coming out of the room down the hall. Football has always been a pastime, and the best way to enjoy it is to sit back and watch the only NFL team that brings back the good memories, warrior, and optimist out of me. The team boosts moral like no other, and makes me Proud to be an American Soldier Serving the great country, The United States of America
Added a picture of approx 12 miles north of where I am, known as the JSA.
Through my time here I've been on the hope that Hines Ward would visit, come by and me get an autograph, (lol that and the WHOLE team.) Now lets go get another ring for the other hand. (7)
Heading back stateside in December, I'm looking into attending my first ever Steelers game, keep up the great work and thank you for taking time to read this.
STEELER NATION IS AROUND THE GLOBE!

Veterans Day, 20111400 viewsDear Ben and the Steelers!!!
"My name is Jennifer Thompson. I am sending this email on behalf of my husband Sgt. Garry Thompson. See my husband is now medically retired from the Army after 17 years of service but he will always carry the military with him. It is who he is. He has always been in law enforcement in one aspect or another since the age of 18 years old. He has been in the military police corp as well as a cop in Cocoa Florida. It's a part of him.
'On May 28th of 2008, I received a phone call no Army wife ever wants to get. A spokesman from the Department of Defense called to inform me my husband had been critically injured and partially paralyzed from the waist down after being shot twice to the back one shattered his spine and the other is still lodged in his side. I am not writing this to depress you rather it is quite the opposite. My husband Garry still loves the military and his comrades more than ever. He always states to me he would do everything again even if he knew what the outcome would be. He is wheelchair bound but it doesn't get him down. It's just a challenge to continue doing the things he loves just in a different way.
'He spent time with the Steelers players for the 'Heroes at Heinz Field' event and it made his year. To know you care enough to go out and spend time with these heroes is amazing and I am so very thankful. I have never seen another team do what you do. We spend our quality time together during the games cheering you on, sometimes a bit too loudly but our neighbors understand. I just wanted to send an email letting you know how blessed I am to have this hero in my life and to thank you for all you do!!! Goooo Steelers!!!"
Sincerely, Jennifer Thompson
