One of our 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Camp Pendleton, California) contacts received care packages from the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas in April of 2016. The 13th MEU is somewhere in Asia, and our care package recipient sent a nice thank you note (excepts below).
Thank you so much for the care packages and the calling cards ... Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas made my day ... You made our job much easier. It’s always great to know that someone back home cares about us.
Our Marines and Sailors put their 100% effort to complete their missions ... We have no days off during the deployment. We have to find our resting time here and there whenever we can. Thank you for giving us motivation to continue to do our job and protect our great nation. God bless!
To see a little of what these Marines do on their vessels, check out this interesting video of their recent training exercises:
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?
