The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas and some great volunteers from Preston Bluebonnet National Charity League and Classic Chevrolet packed over 460 care packages totaling almost $8500 in shipping costs for the U.S. Military troops stationed overseas at our packing party on Saturday, March 23. 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 "Greetings from Texas", so the boxes also contained Texas themed t-shirts, pinatas, chips and salsa plus other fun items.
Here are a few pictures from the event:
