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.
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?
