May 2009 reminder of the hardships our soldiers are enduring:

Nancy,
We received several more packages this past week, but on Wednesday, two of the people in my office were killed by an IED while driving to a meeting at the main airport in Bagram (Afghanistan).  The lady who sat in the desk behind mine was killed about an hour after I said good morning ... dealing with getting the car turned over, extracting the bodies, and disarming the other bombs in the road takes its toll.  I have lost five people since I arrived here and each one gets tougher.

You will be glad to know that the mattress pads were a big hit.  When I gave one to the guy who was the first one to reach the car after the explosion, his eyes lit up and he forgot about the whole event for just a few seconds, but every little bit helps.  Sometimes it is hard to dig deep and find that one little thing that helps you keep going.  I just want you to know that the support you give people you may never meet really does mean something.
LT STEPHEN D.

Read March 2009 Dallas Morning News article on our charity. Read June 2008 Dallas Morning News article on our charity. We are a small group of folks in the Dallas area who love the USA and started out sending a few small packages directly to American soldiers in Iraq in January of 2005. The soldiers have been so thrilled to to receive packages from home, and we continue to get requests from our soldier contacts in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East. Even the simplist supplies (lip balm, suntan lotion, batteries, socks, deodorant, air fresheners, snacks) are greatly appreciated by the soldiers. But just as remarkable is to find so many American soldiers requesting items they can give to the local kids and families ... school supplies, shoes, toys, first aid supplies, etc.  So we formed Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity to send care packages to our USA soldiers serving overseas. If you can assist us (or any of the charities supporting America's soldiers overseas), it would be greatly appreciated by us ... and much more importantly, by the American soldiers overseas.
