Desert Cowboys

The Desert Cowboys are made up of Men and Women in the United States Military, DOD Civilians and Veterans - Military Cowboys.

They are in the desert to tame the Middle East. Some have already been some are on their second, third, forth and even fifth rotations.

Just like the Cowboys of the olden days who had a mission of taming the Wild-Wild-West. It took the Cowboy to ride out on his horse to bring law and order to a desolate land.

For centuries we have heard "Peace in the Middle East". Now that America has answered this call not everyone is pleased that we have. Well all of these young men and woman are proud to do their Patriotic Duty and fulfill their obligations to serve during this time of crisis.

The Desert Cowboys have a mission to tame the wild lands of the Middle East instead of the west and will do it with pride. American Patriots who have decided to lay their lives in harms way so that all Americans can sleep peaceful at night and go about their daily business. If you are going about your 9-5 job, sitting at home surfing the net, checking your email, eating dinner, cleaning the house it would be thanks to the many men and woman who are at this very moment pulling guard duty, conducting raids, securing weapons caches and are deployed thousands of miles away from their own families.

They "Ride with Pride" because "Freedom isn't Free" and their numbers are growing as we speak. Many members of the Cowboy Crew have joined together to make this sanctioned chapter of the Cowboy Crew, the Desert Cowboys.

Remember America have pride in not only America but the Military and the Cowboys who serve in it.
