	Patty Byhum and John Shope, New Jersey and Washington, Served for 18 years and 2 years   I love New York City. It’s awesome. We saw Rihanna at the “Today Show” at the Rockefeller Center. We are going to the New York Mets game. On Monday there will be a parade. We are stationed on Staten Island. It’s close but nobody doesn’t like New York. Nothing is quite like New York.
Shannon Sittloh, Florida, 3 years military service   I’ve been here since Wednesday. So far I’ve got to see Broadway operas, the Empire State Building, [and] the Statue of Liberty. It’s really great. We had a party. It’s amazing. Everybody here loves us. There was actually a guy who gave me 50 bucks to buy drinks because he supports us.	Copyright © 2000 - 2025 The Epoch Times Association Inc.
