The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas and some great volunteers packed over 470 care packages for the U.S. Military troops stationed overseas at our packing party on April 21st. These care packages, which totaled $8500 in postage, will be shipped to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa and the Mideast. The theme for this party was "Beat the Heat", so in addition to the regular items of toiletries, snacks, microwavable meals, notes from supporters, we included water balloons, water guns and even a few small swimming pools for the soldiers and sometimes their dogs!
Here are some pictures from the afternoon packing session.
