Bravo to:
Robin Schmidt, Delta
Airlines Flight Attendant!
Robin volunteers for our
missions to South Africa...and doesn't stop there!
 Every
year, Robin Schmidt 'adopts' American soldiers who are on
deployment in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the
globe. The troops have explained to her over and over again,
the importance of receiving mail to help them cope with the time
away from their loved ones back home. In an effort to
uplift spirits and boost morale over the holidays, join Robin's
'Mail Call' for the 2-7 Cav (known as Ghost Battalion)!
Visit
the Donate to a Project Page to support Robin's project.
The
troops may not be Home for the Holidays, but Robin is sending them
the next best thing!
Bravo,
Robin!
Children's
Escort Volunteers
 Terri
Bobbitt, American Airlines Flight Attendant Reports:
Marcdaile home to Haiti from Atlanta!
"The
big pink fluffy dress with black velvet was a trick!
She wanted to wear her
pretty dress so others would think she is a Cinderella....but hidden
underneath it....her track shoes. Meet Marcdaile St. Victor...and
not very much slows this little 3 year old charmer down."
Please enjoy Terri's
story...
