In the next few months we will have more units from Nevada deploying, I need more volunteers to step up and join our team:) This past years was exciting and sad as well. We lost three of our Nevada National Guard soldiers in the IHOP shooting in Carson City, NV and two other were wounded but recovering.
We shipped over 2600 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, shipped over $4,000 of gift cards to our deployed soldiers, provided 50 full family dinners (6-8 people) with a large donation from a Nevada family to soldiers for Thanksgiving, provided $4200.00 worth of American Express Gift Cards from two donors for our veteran families who needed help for Christmas and lots more.
American Legion Post 56 of Carson City sponsored a batallion Christmas party hospitality suite, GE Corp in Gardnerville donated two television sets as gifts, Grand Sierra Resort donated audio visual equipment to skype with our unit in Afghanistan and they also donated lots more.
Lions of Carson City donated Sees Chocolates and Post 56 donated fruit and nut gift bags for our veterans at home.
Our big unit the 422nd is home from one year in Afghanstan...Hooah and glad to have them all back safe.
As we go into 2012 I look forward to supporting all of our military deployed and their families....please join me...
Happy New Year
