Adopt-A-Platoon


April 2005

Gentlemen,
The Adopt-A-Platoon drive was initiated for the Christmas season of 2003 by brother Pat Quinn. It was such a success that it is now an annual drive to bring some Christmas cheer to our Armed Forces at Christmas. We tried to signal out units that were in combat areas, Iraq and Afhganistan during this particular era.
Below are pictures of the units along with a letter of thanks from the Battalion Commander. We also received many personal thank you notes from the troops, just too many to list here. Let us all pray that all the troops return safely to us. Keep them and their families in your prayers.
The first platoon Christmas 2003 was an 82nd Airborne unit in Iraq.
The second platoon Christmas 2004 was an engineering unit in Iraq..
