On Veterans Day, we especially express our thanks and gratitude to all who have served to protect the U.S.A.! The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas will continue to support our military service members in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines who serve our great country.
We continue to send care packages to our troops in Afghanistan, who will remain in country until the end of 2016, and possibly longer. We have recently communicated with several large units that are just now arriving in Afghanistan for deployment well into 2015.
We have also contacted some of the newly arriving military troops in west Africa (Ebola mission) and Iraq, and we plan to start sending them care packages in the coming weeks. It's been reported that several thousand American troops will be deployed to both west Africa and Iraq in the coming months.
Army contact in Iraq:
"we have quite a few who are living a harder life. We also have some troopers who don't have access to 'good' homecooked food. ... I can say this, we have no PX facilities in Iraq, yet."
Army contact going to west Africa (Ebola):
"We are looking forward to any type of care packages, as where we will be living there is currently nothing!"
Army contact going to west Africa (Ebola):
"Care packages would be greatly appreciated as there is no AAFES and Soldiers are not able to shop on the local economy."
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?
