US Celtic Soldiers

US Celtic Soldiers is a Celtic Cross and Chain "Gift Program" whereas the My Celtic Treasures family sends, at no charge, Celtic Crosses and Chains to US Celtic Soldiers we hear about through friends and customers.

We began this program in November '07 and to date we have sent out over 50 Celtic Crosses and Chains to US Celtic Soldiers serving all over the world.

This is a small way we say THANK YOU to our soldiers for putting up such a sacrifice to help protect our great country.

The picture to the right is of my friend, Pam Moritz, presenting one of our Celtic Crosses to Terry, a US Celtic Soldier, at the Brooke Army Medical Hospital in San Antonio, TX. Pam is a volunteer with Operation Military Embrace...

If you know a soldier you would like us to send a Celtic Cross and Chain to, email their name, address and short bio. and we'll do what we do... thanks!

His wife sent me the following... My husband is not a soldier per se, but he is a Navy Seabee on his second deployment. He is a dirt sailor if you are unfamiliar with the seabees.

From US Celtic Soldiers: Thank you, CM, for your service!

May 5, 2010 ... Celtic Cross/Chain going out to Rachel.

Sent to me by Rachel's father... Our daughter is serving in the US Army her name is Spc Rachel. She has been deployed twice to Iraq, on the second deployment she had to fly back to the states because her older brother was KAB ,killed after back. He was a sniper on his second deployment to Iraq with the US Army. He recieved the Armcom with a V Device, for saving his Sgt's life. He was killed on a motorcycle in Norfolk, Va on July 31, 2009, the next day was his National Guard weekend. I believe that you have heard about soldiers and PTSD, the need for speed and adrenaline, That's what got him, no help from the people around him since Navy people in Norfolk had no idea of his PTSD and had never been in Combat! He even had a big Celtic Cross tattoo'd on his forearm, he was so proud of his tattoo. Stopping in Ireland for both during their flights returning from Iraq to fuel thier planes, most likely fueled their desire, making them more proud of their Heritage. Feel free to Google Sgt Christopher Dwayne Harris, the guy that took the pics spelled his name, Christofer, why I don't know. He really enjoyed the Celtic dancers at different venues he was at. Luckily, our daughter was in Iraq when the Fort Hood shootings occured as the shootings occured directly across from her units office. She also is suffering from PTSD.

Our daughter and son have Irish bloodlines on both sides of her mother and father. We are trying to incorperate his Celtic Cross tattoo onto his headstone, thats when we found a similar one on your website. Thx for your program honoring Celtic soldiers, it's really quite of a nice program to honor our soldiers! I don't know if you could find it in your heart to send this to our daughter, as WE are still grieving about our son's loss.

From US Celtic Soldiers: Sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and every day. We thank you, your son and your daughter for everything you've done and continue to do. You guys are the best!
