How can you help our nonprofit send care packages to some of the most remote of the roughly 150,000 U.S. military troops serving overseas in 2024?

1) Donate Financially - Our greatest need is cash for our mailing costs. With no paid staff, we strive to maximize the use of donations. We are a 501(c)(3) charity, so your gifts are tax deductible. We accept checks to Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, P.O. Box 116691, Carrollton, TX 75011. You can donate via credit card through our Click and Pledge account. Or you can Venmo us at NancyCarter@AirborneAngels.

2) Donate Goods - Our all-volunteer charity is based in the Dallas area, but receives product donations from across the USA for care packages for our Soldiers and Troops overseas. We kindly request that you contact us at support@airborneangelcadets.com before sending any care package goods.

Notes from soldier in Iraq on recent explosion

Excerpt of letter from Officer in 2nd Infantry Div. based in Fort Lewis, WA.

"The brigade was involved in the actions currently being reported on both Fox News and NPR. After the explosion in the fuel distro center (Iraq), two of our Strykers, one each from 5-20 IN and 2-3 IN, were engaged by insurgents with VBIEDS (Car Bombs). Nine Soldiers were wounded, but none of them suffered life threatening injuries; seven of them have been returned to duty already. One of the Soldiers has been evacuated to Balad for ruptured eardrums, another Soldier remains under observation at the CSH in Mosul with a concussion. HQDA is currently conducting phone notifications for the Soldiers' next of kin."
