Troop 401 has adopted a
military troop.
Our contact is:
CSM Charles Sasser
HHC, 2-12 INF, 2D BCT
2D INFANTRY DIVISION
FOB FALCON
APO AE 9361
We will keep a binder for letters
we receive in return. All correspondence will be sent and received
through my address.
Our troop will be supporting
10-15 soldiers for the next 12 months by sending letters & packages to
them.
Girls will not be writing to individual soldiers. Last year we had
adopted a soldier and received several letters back in return. I would
like each girl to write a letter addressed to: Dear Soldier., and then
signed with their first name only. I know this sounds generic, all
correspondence needs to be between us and our assigned military contact.
Included in their letter could be what grade they're in, their favorite
show, a favorite sport and concluded with a thank you for serving our
country. I would like our first packet to go out Feb 8. Please bring
your letters Feb 7th meeting.
I am grateful to the brave men and women serving our country to defend
our freedom, please help me show our support on the home shores.
