I doubt there is a regular reader here who is not familiar with the outstanding group that is Soldier’s Angels. For those new to the site, milblogs, or otherwise unfamiliar with them, there is almost nothing that Soldier’s Angels does not do for our troops.
They meet the wounded as they arrive in Europe and America on their way home, seeing to their needs and comfort. The story of Project Valour-IT is one you truly should know. They meet the non-wounded and offer welcome and thanks. Soldier’s Angels provides blankets, yes; and, they also provide kevlar blankets to units that need them, cooling scarves to those in the heat, and a host of other items and services to those that serve and to their families. There is literally not enough good that can be said about this organization and the awe-inspiring people that are a part of it.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to announce that the Blackfive embeds will be representing Soldier’s Angels in our travels. The least that will be done is that we will be serving as eyes-on-the-ground for them, finding out from individuals and from command what additional things are needed to help our troops as they are deployed. As for what else we will be doing, well, you will just have to wait and see. There is more to come.
Please support our embed program by making donations to PMI. You can support my embed by marking your donation For LW Embed and you can support our first embed effort by noting that it is for JSOTF-P. Anything raised above and beyond the needs of these two efforts will go to supporting PMI and future embeds. Please give today, as we have a ways to go on each. Please see this previous post for more details.
Also, don’t forget to make Soldier’s Angels a regular stop for donations either. The money given to them brings so much to our troops and their families.
