PLEASE JOIN US IN SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS!!

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP!

 

The City of Villa Hills has officially “adopted” the Alpha Battery, and the city of Crescent Springs "adopted" the Gulf Battery of the 1/320th Field Artillery Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, whose home base is at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.  This is the third deployment for both batteries.

At the present time the temperature in Iraq registers at 130-140 degrees.  Our soldiers are wearing 70lbs of gear during these hot summer days. Through our donations we let our soldiers know how much they are thought about and how much we appreciate them for sacrificing their lives for our freedom. 

There are many ways you can support our Adopted Units perhaps you may even consider more than one.  Monentary donations are greatly appreciated to help purchase under-armour shirts and  cover the cost of shipping fees for our care packages.
