The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas and some great volunteers from Delta Airlines, Citi and Toyota Veterans group packed over 400 care packages totaling $8000 in shipping costs for the U.S. Military troops stationed overseas at our packing party on Saturday August 4. These care packages will be shipped to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa and the Mideast. The care packages were packed with toiletries, snacks, microwavable meals and notes from supporters. The theme for this packing party was Hawaiian luau, so the boxes also contained grass skirts, coconut bras, decorations and other fun items.
Here are some pictures from the morning session:
