Our Troops Say

We provide worship opportunities for our Soldiers while they are deployed.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your thoughtful gift of a care package for our Soldiers. Our unit is the 6-
101 Aviation Regiment, “Shadow of the Eagle”. We are a part of the proud XXXXXXXst Airborne.


Division. During our deployment to Afghanistan our Soldiers will be flying and maintaining
helicopters that fly Troops all over the country. With our unpredictable and busy schedule, many
of our Soldiers aren’t guaranteed regular meal times. Snack items are especially helpful to
subside the hunger of our men and women.
Your package was sent directly to the Unit Ministry Team. Our team consist of Chaplain
(Captain) Jeff T. and Specialist Charles K. We provide worship opportunities for our
Soldiers while they are deployed. We also spend a considerable amount of time looking for ways
to meet the needs of our Soldiers. When we get a care package in, we make the items available
to our Soldiers in a Free-X. A Free-X is a room in which we keep care packages and items for
Soldiers to pick up and use. Toiletry items, food, DVDs, books, coffee, candy, and drink powder
are among the favorite items. These are extremely useful to our Soldiers.
We appreciate you helping our Soldiers maintain readiness and focus during our
deployment. Our mission is to serve the men and women of the great United States! Together,
we will continue the fight for the freedom we hold so dear.
Sincerely,
CH (CPT) Jeff T.
SPC Charles K.
