Mrs. Travis,
Good afternoon, my name is Gilbert G. I am
a Platoon Sergeant in the flight company, Bravo
Company, of the 1st Battalion, 108th Assault
Helicopter Battalion (AHB), of the Kansas Army
National Guard. Bravo Company is made up of
elements form our sister companies in Texas and
Kansas, Alpha and Bravo Companies were
combined in Kansas and linked up with our other
company, Charlie Company, from Texas. We
affectionately call ourselves "CharVo Company"
and are now Headquartered here in Kuwait. Many
of my troops are scattered around this area of the
world from here in Kuwait, throughout Iraq and up
into Syria.
We have recently received a package of
individually addressed stockings that you and your
organization had put together for us and I wanted
to personally thank you all for taking the time to
do so. It was a great pleasure to see all of them
with our names on them and the gifts inside were
very comforting. I cannot imagine the amount of
time that went into this project but we all do really
appreciate all of the support from you all.
I have attached a couple of photos that are not
much but a small token of our appreciation and
give you an idea of what it is we do in Army Aviation and for our great nation. Please feel free to reply with any questions
that you might have at anytime.
Thank you again for your support! The stockings got here in perfect timing and I sent them North to the Soldiers that are
in some of our out-laying FOBs, hopefully they will make it to my other troops out there by Christmas, we really
appreciate all of your hard work! I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, which ever one you prefer
and a Happy and safe New Year.
Respectfully, SFC Gilbert G. 1-108th AHB Task Force Talon
Judy,
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you and your organization. I just had the pleasure of handing out all
of the stockings you sent to my entire unit. It brought a lot of joy to the faces of Airmen that are far from home
this holiday season.
Thank you for what you do, and for your continued support of military members. We wish you the happiest of
Christmas with your family and loved ones.
V/R, KELLY H., MSgt, USAF, Superintendent, 380 EOSS, Flight Chief, 380 EOSS/OSW
Mrs. Travis,
On behalf of A CO 1-141 IN take you for the Christmas stockings. We placed each stocking on our Soldiers
beds last night and they all woke up this morning with a nice surprise waiting on them. It was truly a great
gesture on your organizations part and the Soldiers loved them. Thank you for your continued support of
Soldiers deployed overseas.
Sincerely, Ian S, 1SG, TXARNG, A CO 1-141 INF RGMT, TF Alamo, Horn of Africa
