One of our Army Chaplain contacts in Afghanistan just sent the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas the below message after he and his Soldiers received some of our August care packages.
"We received all of the white boxes you sent us but the brown ones have not reach us yet; I am sure they will arrive soon. The troops are having fun with the snacks and all of the personal care items. We are extremely appreciative of your hard work in proving care packages for us over here in Afghanistan."
"My Battalion Commander ... would love to show the Battalion’s appreciation to your organization for all you have done and continue to do for us, by sending a 'Certificate of Appreciation.' ... Thanks again for everything you all continue to do for us and may the Lord God bless the work of your hands."
Again, we thank the volunteers from Wells Fargo, Citi, J.C. Penney, Dawson Logistics and everyone else who worked hard at our August packing party. Much more than helping us, you helped some American military men and women, far from home, receive some unexpected kindness and enjoyment from some good folks back home.
It's not about us. It's about the troops that serve!
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?
