A great big "THANK YOU" to the Wells Fargo Foothill office in Dallas, Texas for hosting our recent care packing party and providing goods and postage funds for care packages that were sent to three different platoons serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The boxes will have a reach to almost 500 soldiers, many of whom are serving in the more remote locations with very little access to coveted items such as beef jerky, batteries, toiletries, and Girl Scout cookies. This is the third time that Wells Fargo has partnered with us in supporting our men and women serving in harms way and we look forward to working with you again in the fall.
If your company, school or organization would like to host a packing party on our behalf, please contact us for further information.

Hi there! I guess it was a few months back when I received a care package from you guys that I shared with my fellow soldiers and subordinates as well. We appreciated it greatly. I think it even had some phone cards in it that came in very handy... I have one guy from South Carolina that works for/with me. The rest of the guys are all from Kansas.
Well I just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for all the stuff and the support that you guys have given to us soldiers over here.
Very respectfully,
Sgt Jason (Iraq)

Packing party recap
The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas held our "4th of July" themed care packing party on Saturday, packing over 100 boxes for 5 of our adopted platoons. These boxes will, hopefully, arrive to our troops in time for them to celebrate our nations' holiday. Local CBS news(channel 11) and the Dallas Morning News reporters were present to cover the event. Also joining us, while lending a hand in the packing, was John Hayes, the Military and Veterans Affairs Liaison officer for Congressman Kenny Marchant's office. It was a pleasure to have all of them join us and to see our group in action. Tomorrrow, we have a date with the post office.
Many thanks to all the organizations, companies and individuals who continue to support us with goods and funds. This allows us to send a little slice of home to our Heroes and to let them know they are not forgotten. The cost of postage remains our biggest challenge and every penny received goes toward either the postage of the boxes or the purchase of items requested by the soldiers. Thank you for supporting our mission and for supporting the troops.
Please continue to pray for the safety of our men and women serving in harm's way while enduring the extreme temperatures of summer.
